well said,though the RFL could be backing themselves into a corner - they have to be seen to be consistent which hasn't always been the case...

Crusaders have been given the thumbs up to continue in Super League after chairman Ian Roberts and fellow director Geoff Moss were allowed to resume their ownership of the club.

We've got one topic open about the crusaders situation, and we don't need another which is simply a smiley. Don't post this a third time. Any discussion add to here.

I gotta say I didn't expect any other outcome, this is typical of the RFL & something us poor fans have come to expect from the jokers who are running the sport we love.

If the RFL were the ruling party in a small a African country they would have been overthrown by now, what a bunch of t**sers.

Guys we need to forget about Crusaders and concentrate on our own bid, im kind of glad they're still about as it means were not rushed into Super league which would be a mess.


Roll on March 2011

We knew this would be the ONLY outcome, SKY don't want only M62 teams, the RFL will never admit it, or why 'bend over backwards/bend the rules' for a expansion team with about 2000 season ticket holders.
