Why is it then Widnes Chairman took the disappointment on the chin and immediately got to work on getting the club in order, perhaps because he is not petty and knew what had gone on, unlike many who spout their mouths off.

What happens if the new ground is not ready for the next round of applications from a Club who has been at the top for many years?

Celtic aren't gone yet. If they can get through the season and still exist for next season it's worth doing.

They do seem to be like Quins though, the business model just doesn't work.

Personally I'd have Toulouse in SL in their place if they were to go.

What about the teams they have beaten with these players in the side, especially Wigan, will they want their 2 points back?

Okay, if they want that Wigan have to give back the points they gained whilst openly cheating the salary cap when Fielden was signed.

We'll swap Wigan for Widnes and loan Celtic Wigan's Aussies. Jobs a gud un.

I was taking the proverbial...

So was I...

Do people realise that there has not yet been a decision about the club itself? The players are being deported because of their own visa applications. As yet, investigations are still ongoing so far as the club is concerned, the Borders Agency wanting to determine whether the club knowingly employed illegal immigrants (as they are now classed). If this cannot be proven then the club faces no charges whatsoever and can operate exactly as they have been doing.

I wasn't sure by the tone of some posts on here whether this had been recognised or not.

If we want to grow our game Celtic Crusaders must be in Super League. There's more potential for our sport recruiting new players in South Wales than there is in, say, Featherstone.

Wire fan obviously hates widnes. Bring back the big games i sure with time a widnes v saints or widnes v wire would bring 10,000 fans into the stobart stadium.Toulouse and celtic bring the minibus.

Salford won everything last season. Widnes won zip.
