| Quote vikings 4 ever="vikings 4 ever"Might there also be a case for the RFL to answer?
I remember earlier in the season both Leigh and Whitehaven had visa applications refused for players. It became apparant that if RFL were to 'back' the visa applications they were far more likely to be accepted. I remember Whitehaven were in discussions with the RFL, with Whitehaven trying to justify why they needed the player and what he would bring to the club. In the end I think the RFL refused to back the application.
Now how would it look if the RFL have backed illegal applications?'"
The RFL actually backed (think 'sponsored' is the correct term) our application, and it still got turned down  |

| Quote Roy Haggerty="Roy Haggerty"So you think those stalwart servants of the state at the UKBA decided off their own bat to investigate every sports club in the country on the offchance of discovering illegal antipodeans ? I think not. Someone wrote to them. And I think we can all be certain that said informant may not have been well-disposed towards Celtic. They may even have had something to gain.
I wonder if the Freedom of Information Act would allow us to discover who ratted on the Aussie-boyos.'"
I've no idea how the UKBA found out about these players. Then again, I'm not the one pointing fingers and inventing conspiracy theories, am I?
There was trouble with their work permits before the start of the season. Maybe they just came back to find out why these 6 players were playing for them?
It makes no difference either way does it? |

Why sound so defensive ? I don't believe I suggested the letter to UKBA came from a Widnes postcode. Or do you know something ....? |

| Quote richardviking="richardviking"This thread can become irritating, quickly, thanks to you, Code13. I've got no problem with your personal vendetta against Widnes, but I'm sure some Vikings will take your bait.
Notice almost every mention of Widnes in this thread has come from you, or Roofs. Not Widnes fans. Leave the Widnes club out of this, as they've got twice the amount of respect and compassion for the good of this sport (including Celtic Crusaders) than most ever will.
For the record, I think it's a sad state of affairs in Wales. I'm sympathetic to their loyal band of fans, (particularly that halfwit CruCruCrusaders - who must plug thousands into following them) though I'm not all that surprised. The club is out of its depth on every level at the time being, I just hope they can recover within two years for the good of the Welsh game.'"
Well said RV. I didn't want to comment on C13's pathetic attemts of fishing. I've made my comments on the Widnes board.
C13 is a moderater and is supposed to do something about Trolls! |

| Quote Steve Fox="Steve Fox"According to the Crusaders website the visa problems relate to previous seasons and as such presumably have nothing to do with any "new attitude".
Whether that means that CC's 2009 overseas recruitment was above board or whether further revelations will follow remains to be seen.
"The investigation found discrepancies in the visa applications of the six players in seasons prior to 2009."'"
Interesting. I wonder how prior discrepancies lead to them being illegal now. Maybe they didn't have new visas for this season but renewed existing ones? |
