Well done on reaching the play offs. Noble has done a grand job. Your quote doesnt put you in the best light though Im afraid. Not bothered where you play, not bothered if its 99% Australian or not. Expansion? I dont think so somehow. Expansion of Australia maybe but the club is about as welsh as Frankie boyle

What irks me most about Crusaders is the fact they dropped the young Welsh FB (who is a good player) for Schifoske who's like 40, that Welsh prop, Flower is it? looked good against England and didn't get a sniff this year, why not play these lads instead of signing Aussies who are 30+?

I think this is a stepping stone for Welsh Rugby League, I say we should bring in Scorps to tap into the South Welsh vs North Welsh Rivalry.

And a quick footnote to Cas. Always had a lot of time for the club and with some great youngsters coming through I hope the RFL dont ditch you at franchise time. Good, loyal following even when you were in the championship. Unlucky tonight.

Not sure this would work. After 12 months they would relocate to Flint with more aussies than in state of origin

Well done to the hierarchy of Super League for getting a broke two bit(dont mention the salary cap) club into the play offs by paying for most (probably all) the aussies wages and the mercenary coaching team of Brian Noble and John(cant see what he advises) Sharpe. well done and a pat on the back to all concerned at the expense of Cas.

well done crusaders

Sour grapes from some tonight. TOUGH! We are in the playoffs and we deserve it. Shame you guys have missed an awesome night in Wrexham. No one's spoiling our party! Cru Cru Crusaders. What a team! What a season! Doesn't matter what nationality, creed, colour or sexuality - those players have played their hearts out for the Crusaders and Wales. PROUD to be an ENGLISH Crusader!

Love it. I can deal with bitter angry fans all day. It's brilliant, because it means that we are doing something right. Crusaders played by the rules, and in their second season, have knocked "heartland" clubs out of the play-offs.

Can Castleford show me where all of these promising british players are in their team too? And i mean in the first team, not the reserves. As our reserves are pretty damn stocked with welsh talent.

Hey ted is in here, laters ted you loser. Same to you broster, you are still a joke, and poor old gaslight. Who resorted to slagging off the crusaders when he noticed that we might have a franchise over them. Thanks mate, see you next year mwhahahaha!!!

The young fullback may be a good player but i've seen Schifoske play for Crusaders this year when they played down here against us.
He has a lot of skill, he will teach the young fullback alot while he is at Crusaders.

You are the perfect example of a johnny come lately rugby fan. No perspective for what "heartland" clubs have done in the numerous years they have existed before your plastic charade of a club has flitted from one end of wales to another. Yet again, the 2 lowest crowds of the week were Harlequins and the nomads. Viva expansion. Enjoy your one extra game this season.

+ Brett Ferres is from Cas, as well as other English players: Kirk Dixon, Michael Wainwright, Ryan Hudson and Steve Snitch, Paul Jackson

Have all played first team this year, most of them getting regular game time, then there's probably one or two I forgot somewhere.

That leaves Chase, McGoldrick, Sargent (who's going home), Widders and Evans (oft injured, probably getting released) as overseas.

Next year Cas trained Danny Orr is back + Richard Mathers, Jake Emmitt and Nick Fozzard (rumoured) to be in bringing in more English players with only Youngquest coming in for the quota.

Gosh this news that the crusaders made the top 8,has overtaken yawnion for the first time.

I've been a fan of the saints since I was born. There goes your johny come lately fan. Was 5200 the lowest crowd of the week? guess that's a good sign for rugby league then.
