Yeah he's got them framing all kinds of photographs and shirts Monday to Friday and they knock off Saturday overtime to play for the club.

Come on lads, you can make up better stuff than this can't you???

Oh the hilarity! Oh the injustice! Oh the sheer stupidity of some posters!

I've heard Samuel also helped the players find houses and pays them money and lets them use the changing rooms before the games! Oh evil EVIL Mr Samuel! Oh the favouritism the RFL has for the Crusaders, THROWING money at us whilst trying to make traditional clubs go bust because they want their own league to fail and set up from scratch in Wales, where the new suplerleague will be watched by BOTH league fans!

Sorry guys, most of you league fans are really sound, but there are some really stupid farkwits posting on these boards.

So the Celtic players didn't work as community development officers in Wales ?

And the address of the community development in Wales isn't the same as Mr Samuels co Dekor ?

Seems simple enough to me

Quite possibly. And all legal.

I am impressed by how interested you are in my club's arrangements. Do you perhaps know as much about your OWN club's arrangements?

And assuming you do, do you draw the same erroneous and unfair conclusions about THEM?

Damned if we do, damned if we don't, or to put it another way: some people are just whining d1cks

I'm pretty sure Jason Chan was out on Saturday with a splinter he got knocking up a frame during the week

Did I say not ' legal ' anywhere ?

Not a problem with it to tell the truth

Just dont understand why it needs to be a secret

I wouldn't know whether the conclusions are fair or not. Having just returned from my clubs AGM I'm fairly certain all is in order at Fev, tho it wouldn't take a deal of effort for any so minded soul to mis-represent a players work origin!
Whether it's happening in Wales or not I wouldn't know, but it wouldn't be the first time such a thing has happened - allegedly!!

Well that's cleared that one up then. Going out on a limb there aren't you.

Not sure if it's happenining in Wales but it wouldn't be the first time allegedly.

not really. Any impropriety may be discovered at any sl club at audit, or by the border authorities upon visa checks. At any club, not just the welsh.
It's allegedly happened before at other clubs to circumvent the salary cap, but as i'm working on 3rd party non-validated info i used the word allegedly.
No big deal really. I just can't do with it all being cloak n dagger. Business is business. You will stand or fall by it.

I take your points Fev, but the one thing I would highlight is that this was never secret. There are functions and arrangements of any club that are simply mundane and not really relevant. That someone has "uncovered" these details make it of no greater importance.

For instance I have heard from a reliable source that at Catalans ground they have no mirrors in the away changing room and that at Hull they don't serve Hobnobs in the Director's lounge, only ginger snaps. I think this is despicable, the way the RFL favours Catalans by allowing them to force other side to turn out looking less than well groomed and favours Hull by allowing them not to serve Hobnobs to club officials when the rest of Superleague has to!

Silly N'est ce pas?

Of all the sheeeite thrown at the crusaders - this is a non-story. It will happen at most SL clubs and makes the rules re the cap fragile at least.

Bothered??? No not really. In the final analysis, any club can or cannot afford their outlay. If they can, they'll go well. If they can't, they'll come a cropper. That's the way business runs.
I'm not really bothered either way. I've said it before, the celtic club are under the microscope from big sceptical ginger bug_gers like myself. But not on this issue.

et oui mon ami, il est très difficile de comprendre! A bientôt.
