Quote ="ChrisH"The RFL though with their obsession with expansion into Wales have , by turning a blind eye or failing to properly monitor the club , been party to the game through the treatment of the players being brought into disrepute. They may even be seen by some to be at least partly reponsible for the current situation and I wouldn't be surprised to see them embroiled in a legal case brought by affected players if they don't step in with a solution.'"
There's no doubt that the RFL have made some big mistakes regarding Crusaders, but the sole responsibility for the pension shortfall - both morally and legally - lies with the club's owners. Anyone trying to bring a legal case against the RFL would be wasting time and money IMO.
