Oh don't talk s h i t Port!

The situation has changed and lots of lads interested in league last season have now binned it. I never said it was just Crusaders reserves binning the game - because lots haven't. But of over 3000 registered league players in Wales, you can knock 500 off that for starters. some of the new schools playing it have already jacked.

I will be FIRMLY supporting the Scorps (and ONLY the Scorps) in pro/semipro league.

As far as the Crusaders goes, it had SEVERAL choices. There was a firm consortium bid from Bridgend, for the club but not the debts. It's not economic reality, it is the personal incompetence of Leighton Samuel and Mike Turner.

Accept reality you fool and stop trying to paint things the way you prefer.

Oh and Port you lying little t u r d , "Bridgend" never EVER ran the Crusaders. It was Samuel and Turner. The guys trying out for the Scorps are not trying out because "Bridgend" is not running them.

They are trying out because they can't try out for the Crusaders because the Crusaders f***ed off to the wastelands.

I will stand firmy behind the Scorps with honesty and realism. You can continue to sit firmly up turner's lying a r s e.

Grendel me old chum I assume when the league registration stats come out and there are more than 2500 from wales you'll make a long and grovelling apology? If there are less than 2500 as you suggest I'll buy you a pint at a scorps game

Watch the language and insults boys and girls - I don't want to have to start issuing bans before the new club's even played it's first game

Ymlacio fechgyn! It would be probably unwise to think the move of the Crusaders to Wrexham has had no affect on the numbers of players involved in RL but i don't think it will signal the end and mass swaves of players will turn their back on the game and head back to Union. Lets wait and see ay?

lets leave the bitterness behind now and move on with the two new clubs. I look forward to seeing if it gives more players a chance . I think the new Scorpions squad could be very competitive.

If they are made up largely of the Welsh squad from the European Cup then I'd agree with you.

I hope the Scorpions do well in their first season!

Yes it is time to move on guys and back your club, stop the back biting and show the Crusaders you can become a good Welsh Rugby League team...

Yh I agree with Wildy, forget about the 'Wrexham' Crusaders until the day of the Welsh derby

Cheers Wildycat.

HOWEVER I have no intention of showing the Wrexham ANZACs ANYTHING until 2012 when we are both in CC.

I have no intention of moving together with both clubs.

Scorpions and Scorpions ONLY for me, WHATEVER imposition the WRL think they can force on the club.

Ahh Grendel.. Nice to see you saw the light!

We all knew you would, welcome back on board the league express

Cheers Dico,

Couldn't keep away. So choked down the disgust at the "management" of the game and hopeed on board with the only WELSH (as opposed to ANZAC) semi-pro RL side.

The Scorpions received so may applications for their open-trial that they couldn't cope with the numbers and shows that RL in South Wales is still alive and kicking and I quote from the website "The club have been overwhelmed by the amount of young Welsh players who want to play professional rugby league. Almost 100 applications were received, more than expected, and because of this, some players have been emailed and have been told they won't get a trial this time around. However they have been told that the door is never closed, to keep playing for their local Conference club and the opportunity may arise again in the future." link scorpionsrl.blogspot.com/2010/01 ... poned.html
