Gutted for them. Odds on Leeds scoring 90?

why gutted for them?


I am gutted for the fans of the club but the players/club get no sympathy if they didn't ensure everything was in place and they were working legally.

They spent months sorting it out too

Brace yourselves for the Widnes fans

oh good God i can here the keyboards warming up!

I meant the fans. Nobody wants to see another club go tits up like that. But as you correctly say, it is their own fault so I have no sympathy with the club hierachy.

It also does not bode well for the Leeds game. It could be embarrassing.

Uh oh! The the fan is about to get hit by the proverbial...

Complete incompetance by all parties involved, wonder what the RFL have to say on this.

Because you wouldn't have been bothered if your club had been left out for one looking like more of a shambles every day. I mean nobody predicted before hand that they might struggle...

The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Pretty shambolic, really.

That is all.

It seems as though they knew all along those players would not get in the country due to the tightening of immigration and they took the risk as it was too late in the day to replace them.
Hopefully, they'll spend wisely next year on quality recruits. Doubtful though as most have already been signed up.

Im a Leigh fan and Im laughing my head off as I type the reason being only as weve been turned down for 2 overseas players already this season and have really struggled because of this and these players were in the country illegally any way.

no team, 5hit ground and few fans. Tell me again how they got a license?

Embarrasing incompetence on a scale beyond comprehension.

what about the results of games involving the 6 (presumably) ineligible players?

Of course they would struggle in their 1st year, most likely will do in their 2nd year too!!! That does not mean they can not be successful in the longer term!!!

You are making your fans and club look like cry babies....it does nothing but detract from your aim to become a Super League club!!!

ps Celtic Fitzhenry will be available from HKR next season. Get in and get him signed now FFS!

They were a better choice than Widnes.

I think the points should be given back to the clubs who were blatantly cheated out of the two points

I think this has proven that having Celtic in Super League is an absolute farce.

Get rid of them and get Widnes in.

Oh come on, they've hardly any points as it is. RFL are highly unlikely to rub their noses in int anymore.....



.....are they?

How have the RFL allowed people with dodgy paperwork to register and play?!

An utter shambles.

It's flatcappers like you that made RL struggle, that blinkered approach has left us with a game confined to the M62 and no international game.

The RFL will help them where needed, they are in it for the long haul to develop the Welsh National squad.

To be fair this farce isn't going to do much good for Celtic who are already struggling (understandably), they now have a massive job to do before the start of next season to get a squad to show they can do well and deserve the place

1 WORD....
=blue[size=200HALIFAX[/size

They might find they are limited to a tighter budget in NL1 though.





Up you come Chemics!
