Quote: Iksmudge "This was the same owner who caused the folding of the Celtic Warriors RU region. Leighton Samuel.
Why on earth the RFL did not do due diligence is beyond me. The guy was an idiot.
Annoyingly it caused Widnes lost time in the wilderness but in a funny way I think we are better for it.'"
He made some bad decisions at Celtic Warriors but the WRU wanted shot and it was them who were to blame for their demise not him, in truth one of Ospreys, Gwent Dragons or Warriors had to go as the WRU were bailing them all out and as far as I know still are doing the same with Llanelli Scarlets and little old Bridgend was always going to fall victim to the big city clubs in Swansea and Newport.
The club game in Wales has been a joke ever since but the Welsh National team has thrived so there was method in their madness but for those who follow a region or even worse one of the old "big" clubs such as Pontypool or Pontypridd they have been hung out to dry for the sake of international success.
