Keiron you beauty!!!!! CRUSADERS ARE IN THE PLAY-OFFS.

WE DONT CARE IF WE HAVE TOO MANY AUSSIES

WE DON'T CARE THAT WE GOT MOVED AROUND AND MESSED ABOUT

WE ARE CRUSADERS!!!

"WE DONT CARE IF WE HAVE TOO MANY AUSSIES"

Well done on getting into the playoffs, but that quote there is the exact reason people don't like Crusaders considering they're supposed to be an expansion club.

Must remember though, sometimes you need someone to teach youngsters how to be professionals. It's still one of the best achievments in superleague.

Last to play-offs

unlucky tonight, but what about teams who are filling there squads with overseas players next season? kr and salford will have 10 and 9 overseas players, will you have the same view of them clubs too?

You don't need a full squad of Aussies though. There are lots of seasoned English players you could have had. But yes, it is a great achievement, well done. Not sure about it being one of the best in SL though, but still.

Yes I do.

shame the rfl don't share your view, the overseas rulings is now turning into a farce

Certainly a shame that Cas, with six homegrown players in their line-up at Saints tonight (and only four overseas players), couldn't make the playoffs for the second season in a row.

Still, a fantastic young team at Cas, one which should be up challenging for the play-offs next year too.

That's what's annoying me. We're fielding so many youngsters and still managing to do well, but just falling short.

Superb achievement by Crusaders to get to the play-offs in only their second season. I don't care how many overseas players they have, they have played by the rules just like every other club. The other clubs agreed to let Crusaders have more quota spots so can't complain now.

Hope you bring plenty to Huddersfield and make it a good party atmosphere at the Galpharm.

well done to the crusaders the table doesnt lie over the full season.

great effort from cas and those young guys milner,walker and arundel and many more that are coming through will get their play off games pretty soon if they stick together.

I'll take 9th and a team full of British talent then 8th with a team full of 3rd rate Aussies, but got to commend Noble for the job he's done.

Well said

finishing in the bottom half is not a great achievement, although the way this will be spun will be to "justify" Crusaders position in the Super league

What's annoying me is that we're attempting to fulfil what the RFL wanted from licensing - competitive, more homegrown players, strong business and community presence.

The only thing lets us down is the salary cap and the stadium.

Well done on reaching the play offs. Noble has done a grand job. Your quote doesnt put you in the best light though Im afraid. Not bothered where you play, not bothered if its 99% Australian or not. Expansion? I dont think so somehow. Expansion of Australia maybe but the club is about as welsh as Frankie boyle

What irks me most about Crusaders is the fact they dropped the young Welsh FB (who is a good player) for Schifoske who's like 40, that Welsh prop, Flower is it? looked good against England and didn't get a sniff this year, why not play these lads instead of signing Aussies who are 30+?

I think this is a stepping stone for Welsh Rugby League, I say we should bring in Scorps to tap into the South Welsh vs North Welsh Rivalry.

And a quick footnote to Cas. Always had a lot of time for the club and with some great youngsters coming through I hope the RFL dont ditch you at franchise time. Good, loyal following even when you were in the championship. Unlucky tonight.

Not sure this would work. After 12 months they would relocate to Flint with more aussies than in state of origin

Well done to the hierarchy of Super League for getting a broke two bit(dont mention the salary cap) club into the play offs by paying for most (probably all) the aussies wages and the mercenary coaching team of Brian Noble and John(cant see what he advises) Sharpe. well done and a pat on the back to all concerned at the expense of Cas.

well done crusaders

Sour grapes from some tonight. TOUGH! We are in the playoffs and we deserve it. Shame you guys have missed an awesome night in Wrexham. No one's spoiling our party! Cru Cru Crusaders. What a team! What a season! Doesn't matter what nationality, creed, colour or sexuality - those players have played their hearts out for the Crusaders and Wales. PROUD to be an ENGLISH Crusader!

Love it. I can deal with bitter angry fans all day. It's brilliant, because it means that we are doing something right. Crusaders played by the rules, and in their second season, have knocked "heartland" clubs out of the play-offs.

Can Castleford show me where all of these promising british players are in their team too? And i mean in the first team, not the reserves. As our reserves are pretty damn stocked with welsh talent.

Hey ted is in here, laters ted you loser. Same to you broster, you are still a joke, and poor old gaslight. Who resorted to slagging off the crusaders when he noticed that we might have a franchise over them. Thanks mate, see you next year mwhahahaha!!!
