Quote: ColD "Would Wakeys (for example) overseas players been exempt next year had they lost out as part of the franchising system.
That , in theory, could have happened to Crusaders anyhow.'"
There's a difference. The Crusaders looked to be all but certain to gain another 3 years. Infact, I believe the players were even told to think so.
Essentially they have all wasted 6 months of being able to find other clubs.
