Because, as a Fax supporter, you don't have another agenda or an axe to grind eh?
Get your ground finished (finally) and you might stand a chance in three years time. FFS even Belle Vue has four sides to accommodate speccies

| This was important for the players in question because livelihoods were essentially at stake so well done at least to the RFL for looking after the players who bust a gut for our entertainment in these dire circumstances.
HKR...?
Just hope my own club won't ditch the predominately British set-up that we've had this season and go back to cramming our squad with "exempt from quota" overseas players as circa 2006.

| Pretty pathetic. You can already guess which clubs will take advantage of this, purely because it's a loophole, rather than them actually needing those players.

| Seems a sensible step to me in assisting those players let down by Crusaders find another club. The other clubs don't have to do anything, no-one is forcing them to sign Crusaders players. If a club ends up with lots of overseas players instead of developing their own then lay the blame squarely and firmly at the door of that club and not the RFL.

I think most understand the need to help the Crusaders players who have been shafted by the club. However, it should not extend beyond the length of their current contracts.

Which would be just daft and would either artificially limit a players potential length of contract with any club to that of their Crusaders contract (which is probably not suitable for either player or club) or we'd have the ridiculous situation of players who were exempt 1 year becoming not exempt the next in the middle of a contract. Either way it puts barriers in the longer term planning for clubs and would make clubs less willing to sign these players.
The RFL's way seems fair and straightforward. As I said if a club has too many overseas players and is neglecting their youngsters then blame that club, not the RFL as some people seem to want to for everything.

| Quote BaldRick="BaldRick"Smells like a rodeo . Their club went wonky . Why should the 'foreign' players be favoured or given exemption ? [uThey signed for Cru under Cru's and the RFL's rules and agenda [/u. If and when they no longer play for Cru then their employment issues are their problem .
Cru appear to have gone breasts up . The problem of employment surely lays at the boots of the players . .'"
If the rfl had not taken this action could the rfl have been liable to pay up the remainder of the players contracts.

| What the hell is wrong with you people.
Do your clubs even want our players. These boys have been left in the dark about everything. At least with this ruling they have a chance to get a job. How many of you actually forget that it's a job to these guys.
Oh, how about the fact they haven't been promised to get paid by the end of the year. Would you like to work for 3 months and get paid nothing.

| 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.
