i am surprised

Crusaders withdrew their Super League application as late as yesterday. Just wondering if they'll be exempt from relegatiion from the Championship next season if they finish bottom?

Justifies Alan Rowleys statement at the last round of sooopa league applications.I do feel sorry for Halifax,how the hell have wakefield survived

i want to know if keith senior will stay with the crusaders

Interesting to see that they're talking to Crusaders about their "possible participation in the Coop Champ".

prepared to chuck in?"

imo they have gone bust

Judging by his comments on Twitter he is out of a job - he seems rather upset by it!!!!!

Do you think that there is a real possibillty of them just packing the lot in? Dear me the whole of the RFL board should resign now because they have known about this since the begining of this season. I'll say it again that every Championship chairman/owner should now come together and turn their backs on the RFL as it is now. We have no TV deal for next year so what do we need them for. Infact they need us more than we need them.

RL being made look stupid again.

Made to look stupid, they are stupid Ste.

I am gutted, was told we were in.

Blimey, didn't see that one coming.



Allan Rowley - stand up and take a bow for telling it like it is...

Lewis - Franchising is working
Lewis - Crusaders have withdrawn their application

Laughable

Does'nt look good for Crusaders with the statement the board have put out. Theres a link on VT.

I've been following this forum for over a year now, and I finally have to put "pen" to "paper"! Some of the posts make me smile, some angry, and some I'm incredulous at. Usually the incredulous ones all emanate from decisions (or not!) from the so called leaders of this great game. How can they carry on running this game into the ground? Talk about bringing the game into disrepute. I was at Blackpool last week, and hoped that that day was a box ticked. Now I'm not so sure. These "old farts", to use an old adage, should all hang their heads in shame. Perhaps the threat of a breakaway is the only answer now, the New Northern Union?

To be fair, today they have righted a wrong from 3 years ago.

I can still still remember Dickie Lewis' brash statements on Look North West, 3 years ago.



Still, commiserations to the genuine Cru fans. You did not deserve all the shi'ite that you've been through over the past few years, but if the RFL hadn't rushed your club, maybe you'd be in a much healthier position now.

Will they ever learn?

To build an house you need good foundations unlike the RFL who seem to think they can 'build' on sand, resignations should come if not sackings.

Fred, sand is a good foundation it's clay thats not so good. Thats why they put it in bags to stop bullets. Sorry.

TV Boy. You do keep pulling out this old chestnut. The ability of sand to stop a bullet bears little (or no) comparison with the ability to resist a static load (ie be a foundation).

Dry sand can indeed form a good foundation. But get it wet and the effects can be quite dramatic.

So leave Fred alone.

Well I am gob smacked ,did not expect that ,as for Fax well they were always going to pick a SL club before one of ours

Having bother with the forum ,anyone else ? keeps going off thats why post on twice

I dont know how he managed to keep a straight face through it all to be honest.

To be honest I thought he looked uncomfortable to say the least, especially with his continual nervous looks to his side.
