Good for Wakey fans but a bit of a kick in the teeth for the RFL. So all these players we intended to poach from Wakey less likely with this news, anyone at Cru you would have?

Couple of their young Welsh lads are pretty good, can't remember what they're called and their web site has mysteriously crashed.

We got a grade B licence, which is nice. Don't think it means much now - they did away with that guaranteed next time rule, iirc. Still, well done to all at HKR on that!

But surely Celtic would have been rejected if they felt the need to withdraw?

No, they're Welsh.

Sky were at Wakey expecting they were going.

'Fax aren't happy.

Richard Moore and...Jordan Tansey?

I'd rather sign Cockayne than Tansey.

Wonder what will happen with Keith Senior now??

Crusaders "Senior 4" shirt straight onto ebay.

That may be closer to the mark than you think!

Website gone down, Game against FC already moved, looks like they wont last by all accounts.

Players will no doubt be looking to leave - can we look at getting a certain Fullback please!

Shifcofske for 1 year to help bring on Sheriff? Not many more experienced and will do us a job for a season.

I'm not sure where he stands quota wise, but if we have any spots available I think our priority has to be the front row.

Richard Moore?????

Total thug, always hated him, going back to 2006 when he was at Leigh. Never forget his assault on Cockayne during our 1st SL game.

Exactly what we need, so thats a yes from me. However, he likes his offload game, so JM won't touch him.

He's only a month younger than me! And he'd take a quota and non-fed spot.

I'd rather get Reardon, tbh. And there are 2 or 3 I'd have before him.

players worth a look at...

Schifcofske
Mellars
Witt
Sammut
O'Hara
Winterstein
Hanbury

Not sure if some of them would fit in our team but worth a look at anyhow.

Sammut at 9, would be good cover for the halves to avoid the catastrophe of this year. He played full back for a year in oz as well, so could even spell Sheriff.

If we signed Sammut, I'd happily sport a big dirty 'tache.

Wonder how this will affect the rest of the season, Crusaders were often underdogs anyway but their remaining opponents; Wakefield, Harlequins, Hull FC, Bradford and Wigan can now probably just 'turn up' for the points. With this in mind wouldn't the licensing be better done at the end of the season?

on another note does this mean the magic weekend will move home again?

Can't help but feel halifax got shafted wakefield 2008 bid must have been pure fiction as nothing was delivered , and yet they get another chance ???
