| According to the sporting media in Wales, Celtic Crusaders won,t be allowed to progress with local rugby talent. There is a threat that any good developing players will be bought up and end up playing Union.
Will Lewis take note or just create "spin" that we have a foothold in Wales.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| So it follows that if you want to get paid good money to play R Union in Wales the best way would be to play RL at junior level for Celtic
So we end up with more juniors taking up RL in Wales
How is that bad for RL ?

| same Gatland that send them a good luck text last night. don't you think the press are just fishing for stories.
story mite even get a few more people turning up at the game. and if wales do go looking at celtic's academy players, don't you think it says more about how poor a state union is in. that a club which is only 3 years old, can't produce/spot better talent that one of the so called best national teams in union

| Is Gatlands "broadside" a true or bluff statement, or is there a serious danger that Celtic Crusaders will end up as a feeder club for Union.
Which means the RFL will have to give a concession for the team to operate with 12+ overseas players just so that the RFL can say rugby league is in Wales.

| Let them poach, it's a free market....shows they've made it on to the radar. Surely the irony is that if the WRU had continued to fund the Celtic Warriors, they wouldn't have to think about poaching from the Crusaders!

| This shows that the WRU are unsettled by the Crusaders!
the WRU re organised with the idea of strengthening the national side. At one time Wales had many club sides of note (Cardiff / Swansea / Aberavon/Bridgend/Neath/Ebbw Vale/LLanelli/Pontpool /Tredegar etc) who were virtually all welsh players. Now they have 4 sides each with several overseas players. Yet there are 60K players of all ages in Wales. There is a huge rugby talent pool and for every one RL player cherry picked by the WRU ther will be dozens of young welsh players who will give RL a go...and find they like it.
The franchise means the Crusaders are there for at least 3 years and the WRU hate that...tough.

The WRU must have some money if they're going to 'buy up' any talented youngsters that Crusaders look at.
Wales has 28,702 pre-teen male players; 21,371 teen male players; 19,000 senior male players (thanks wiki). That is a lot of players to keep tabs on don't you agree.

This seems to suggest differently.

I don't think he has thought it through either to be fair.
If I was a youngster contemplating playing RL down here and read that I would think you had less chance of being outcast by RU and be encouraged to play the game more.
