When do we stop becoming a Sport? : Mon Jul 13, 2009 12:18 pm  
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 145202.stm

Now 1st I agree with the 1st part, just as they under investigation, shouldn't threaten them! (But now smoke without fire etc etc).

But!

As a result, the RFL have sent former Wakefield chief executive and former Huddersfield coach Steve Ferris to offer support.

His main task is to help the Crusaders build a strong playing squad for next season, but Ferris says his arrival should not be viewed as a threat to John Dixon's position as head coach.

"As it stands, I'll be working in conjunction with John to put a team together for next season," Ferris told BBC Wales Sport.


So the RFL are actually helping Celtic put a good side togther :O! Now I know we've debated Cru in SL long and hard but...

This is a seperate issue, could you imagine any other side asking for help in their recruitment? The World's gone mad!

Is this a Sport anymore? Where is the competitive nature of building your own side up and seeing how it competes?

Sorry to go off topic, but I don't read the BBC website for Rugby League.

Haven't for a while but after following your link I decided to see what they put about the final. And I quote;

Loan players Kevin Penny and Craig Hall were key for the Vikings, with Penney scoring two of his side's six tries and Hall kicking five goals.


Hall, on loan from Hull KR, added a third goal before the break to make it 22-8.


And as for Celtics ongoing problems... who cares anymore :roll: They might be competing under the name RFL Crusaders next season.

Yea noticed them, BBC really are pretty poor, constantly making what are just STUPID error's like that, would they ever refer to Frazier Cambell (for similar example) as a Man City player?

Also the ammount of time they have the wrong picture to player named etc is just dire!
