any news on any new signings or new contracts heard mellars has been looked at by 3 super league teams with cas looking like fravioutes, whats peoples thoughts on next seasons line up. id like to see a few more welsh players introduced into the team and id also like to see a few welsh scorpioans players given full time deals.

they wont sell mellars the rumour about him and hauraki isnt right they will stay and i think they should break the splash out on willie mason because he is a good forward who wants to come to super league and has lots of experience.

its not about them selling them im sure there out of contract, hope they do stay though both good players. willie mason is the sort of player the crusaders need to get the publicity and bums on seats

Considering both of them + Youngquest have signed fro Cas, I think it is true.

And there's no selling involved, all 3 are free agents.

I had heard the Youngquest rumour but not heard anything about the other 2, I cant see that being right myself but i wouldnt be unhappy if it was.

The team will be a lot weaker than this year and will almost definitely finish bottom. I will be amazed if the license is renewed

on the Youngquest front, as a Cas fan and not really seeing much of NY, whats he like as a player? Looked good VS the saints with the few times he touched the ball

He's very quick and strong in his running despite not being very big, he's almost like a spear in the way he runs into defenders and makes decent metres and when he gets in the clear he's difficult to stop. Prone to regular brain explosions which have cost the team matches this year, although this seems to have decreased as the season has gone on and he's been solid enough recently.

Sounds like McGoldrick but better. Not sure how strong the rumour is (different sources say different things) but if so sounds like the player we need, someone with blistering speed and capable of finsihing a try. Cheers mate

He is very good at running flat out into a brick wall, if you like that sort of thing. He has plenty of speed, but not much guile. If he has space he can be OK, but he isn't very good at finding the space for himself. He needs a playmaker to do that job for him.

Bit of a one trick pony really.

The last I heard/read they'd both signed new contracts at Crusaders...

What is the situation with the quota for Crusaders next season? Stay at 14? Go down?

Proof? doesn't look like you have any again. Which I am not surprised at.

Don't worry mate your as safe as houses, it wouldnt matter if you had'nt won a game last season, this season and next season you would still have been certs for another licence just like the Dragons who will finish bottom this season and the Quins who are there abouts too. It's Wakefield or Castleford for the drop end of. Just out of interest though is there any truth in Cas signing any of your players that you know of ?.

Looking at youngquests titter account I think hes off at the end of the year, Not defo sure whereto but I think probably Cas, As for Mellars and Weller I doubt that nobby would let either of them go without a fight



Apparently Mellars and Hauraki have re-signed, also Francis Meli has allegedly signed with us,
There is a very small rumour that Michael Worrency is joining the cru but I dont know how true this is.

thats a bit hasty nobby will pull a few more tricks out of the bag im sure he is a top manager plus harris and sharp they have links with other clubs and im sure they can attaract players next season i think will be better as the cru will have had a good years experience as a team

that would be one hell of a signing! i really hope that is true

He's a potty mouth.

He'll fit right in at Cas then.

According to someone on the Cru Facebook page we have signed Stuart Reardon from the Bulls. Certainly provides experience, depth and cover to our back line.

Youngquest has plenty of pace and gives 100% but bit of a hothead regularly ranting at officials - bit of a liability on that front. Was having a right old ding dong with Stuart Littler against Salford although Littler didn't seem up for it much. Would be sorry to see him go though if it is true.

How many Aussies are you lot allowed next year? More?

The final game of last year, Celtic Crusaders came to Cas and had a few fair local Welsh players in their side who were decent. Where are they now, just out of interest?

Rumours around that Stu Reardon has signed for you.

as a warrington fan i will say i liked reardon but there were a lot of things in his personal life that drew him away from rugby i think it wouldnt be a bad signing but i really hope that about meli is true would be awesome with him and mellars on one wing btw cru are my 2nd as dad goes to games then thomas has signed on again and you then have tony martin or rhys hanbury that can play centre schicofske full back, witt and sammut half backs thats a top notch 1-7 but the forwards arent as good theyre the main thing that needs sorting.

Rhys Hanbury is not a centre, 1, 6 or 7 yes, centre no!

he has played there though
