| Quote TheJudge="TheJudge"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. |

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.

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.'"
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.  |

| Quote Big Dave Fairleigh="Big Dave Fairleigh"It was a disgrace that Widnes were refused in the 1st place. This just adds fuel to the fire. They were told categorically by the RFL before they assemled their bid that going into administration and coming out of it (after they lost the 2007 playoff final) would not go against them in their application. Then the RFL refused them and Dicky Lewis even sited that as the reason. Absolute disgrace. There is no way in the world on the points scoring system that Celtic should have had a place over Widnes. From NL2 to Superleague in 2 years. It's laughable. They were never going to be good enough and it was a bad idea to bring them in so soon. Even with all these illegal Aussies they have not been competetive.
Also they virtually blackmailed the RFL with statements that if they were not given a SL licenece for 2009 that they would not survive the three years until the next window. What kind of basis is that to allow them a SL place?
 '" Thankyou mate and £500,000 offered by ste oconnor for proof we can be stable financially was not enough for the rfl. Stobarts and ste oconnor will never go bust as good business men.Anyway such is life we need to keep plugging away and i know some widnes fans who wont go until in superleague.It inevitable fan bas would go up more if got in for one more away fans aswell. Near 4000 average in this league is good and nearly same attendances as superleague clubs like salford who had less fans than us in national league. |

You were never in competition with Celtic though, they are an expansion team and you are not.
How Salford got in over Widnes though... |

Totally agree with that one.
A town with RL in its blood, decent facilities and reasonable crowds. Another local derby for us and at least they have travelling fans. |

Whatever. So you wouldn't have Catalans in because they haven't got many who make it down the M62 in time for 8pm on a Friday night?
Widnes have had enough chances to prove they are worthy of a place and bar the stadium they are not. Halifax deserve it more than Widnes do. |
