Hopefully, bring back the Chemics.

Ouch

Harsh. Makes the RFL look a little bit stupid aswell me thinks.

they should claim asylum, it works for all those who hide in the back of lorries in calais.

[i"As the result of an intelligence-led investigation into possible immigration offences among players at Celtic Crusaders, we can confirm that six Australian nationals have been served with papers confirming that they are illegally present in the UK."[/i

Ok. Own up - who squealed?

Always knew widnes should have been brought in!

yet they will let any other waith and stray in with no job give them a house benefits etc what a joke this country is

There a joke. They should be threw out of super league and widnes brought in.

Here here!

Not under the new rules which are what appear to have caught out Celtic. I am interested in how they have actually got into this pickle.

Won't be anyone from Widnes - Intelligence & Widnes dont go together in the same sentence.

it seems to a case of one rule for one etc

Bring us back to superleague so we can get the derbies back on!! Give the wire a spanking again like the good old days ( pre endacott

)

Laughable really, but as a chemic, CC are now off my radar, my frustration towards them and the rfl is now just pity for them. Still though, something like this was bound to happen at some point.

Of course while all you Demics are criticising CC you all seem to be forgetting the thing that kept you out of SL this time round: administration. The RFL were right to keep you in NL1 until you've been financially solvent for a few years.

Paris St. Germain all over again.
When will League ever learn....

Out of interest do the RFL have to sanction/gain visibility of overseas player contracts or do they just rely on the clubs to comply with UK immigration legislation?

It's one hell of a mess and a real blow to the expansionists dream of supplanting RL in the extremities at the expense of the core geographic.

Be interesting to see if the RFL make a public comment.

They've said they won't make any public comment.

In a strange way this may end up the making of them - as they're going to have to put the Welsh lads in now.

Unfortunately the next game is against Leeds at Newport.

The big thing that's gone wrong here is they sold the ground.

Maybe the celtic illegal immigrants should open a hand car wash like the poles ....

I thought the big thing that has gone wrong was that they were accelerated through the rank and file of the Rugby Football League, at the expense of other clubs, and have scarcely sufficient local support to justify a position in the Co-op Championship?

It's sheer folly.

Mwah-ha-ha

They promised widnes that it not go against us as we had all the criteria.But of course rfl can change like the weather.Stobarts and oconnor wont go bust and he offered £500,000 to prove our financial clout under him.Nevermind another excuse be made not to let us in the next time.Expansion frogs or gateshead or scotland.
