Decent signing for them I suppose.

should save us a few bob in comp then

, just out of interest are celtic allowed more overseas players than other clubs or the same, because there seem to be alot of aussie players linked with a move there.

More. They are allowed 14 overseas players.

not really going to help bring through the welsh lads then is it, i mean 14 overseas players thats even more than wakey have got

Yeah we reneged on Martins contract because we were over the limit... oh no wait, that was your lot.

Should be Martin signing foe Widnes in SL bloody disgrace that they are still in SL

Dont be do stupid and get in the 21st century - SL is now played outside of the 62 corridor

yes and the sport continues to go from strength to strength.

Just look at Catalans last year for instance

And you forgot to mention that your crowds are bigger than ours!!

yes your right mate you've got me there we do have 6 players that are not british, just out of interest how many do you have. not wanting to be petty just wanting to make a point.

you want to wake up and smell the coffee kid RL will never take off outside its heartlands as much as I would like to see it. and before you say it Catalan is a RL heartland unlike London or bloody Wales South or North

In case it escaped your notice, Catalans = RL heartland.

Aye, shut Crusaders, Quins, Skolars, Hemel, Sheffield and whoever else down. Why even try spread our game? Let's go back to winter, unlimited tackles, Yorkshire & Lancashire leagues and working down the pit in the morning and playing in the afternoon.

If it turns out that Crusaders doesn"t work, so be it. Better to have had a go than never bothered.

dont see how this gets cas off the hook unless martin drops it, hes surely still has a breach of contract case if the rumours are true, just because hes now found alternative employment does not mean cas didnt terminate an alleged agreed contract!

thanks for that mate, its nice to see wakey fans stating the facts much apreciated

you only struggled when you got to a word with lots of letters! stick to 6 or less in future!

He still will have a "Breach of Contract" case but the amount of compensation will be reduced as Martin has a Contract with Crusaders. He will not have been paid the full Contract value and then signed for Crusaders.

I suspect Martin will have settled with Castleford before he signed for Crusaders.

Worry not, Celtic wont be with us beyond 2012.

Lets just hope all these Australians & New Zealanders all have the correct papaerwork

i cant see beyond 2010 for them myself but you never know

I have it on very good authority that there Macedonian passports are in the post!!!!!!

How many overseas players do we have?

[size=200If[/size it as not worked it was never going to work like it as not worked in Sheffield, Doncaster, Kent, Southend, Cradiff, Gateshead or London for the last 28 years

I'm afraid in that one thread you have perfectly reflected the expansion strategy based on class inferiority which has so poorly served our game. The advances in the product have largely been nullified by the fascination with being seen as a national game. What would have been wrong with being the biggest game in the M62 corridor? The opportunity to do this was there pre FA Premier League but the administrators were too busy in Fulham and Cardiff first time.

So now we have no industry and a dwindling sport but hey whilst Wigan and Hull have top flight football teams and kids in Widnes are watching second grade rugby we are pumping money into a dead duck.
