Wales and England should be kicked out of the Four Nations immediately.

England should be replaced with GB.

Invite PNG or Fiji as the fourth nation to compete.

More popular than it is in Salford, though there is no RL club in the city of London so i assume you meant Twickenham.

I didn't mention 'the city of london'

You could have a point though. Maybe these 560 million London based RL supporters or however many there were supposed to be couldn't find the club when they were calling themselves 'London' Broncos and thats why their crowds were so small.

Am I the only person thinking of making money out of this? A squad of majorly p*ssed off players, lacking motivation going away to a team BUZZING by getting a licence.

Sunday at 3:30 Wakefield vs Crusaders

Think a trip to the bookmakers may be in order for that one

In a perfect world Crusaders players would give 100% win the game, thank the away fans and refuse to turn out for the club again but I fear they will do the later without going through the other 3 elements.

True, but in a perfect world, player would not be owed money and be made false promises. I've been reading twitter this afternoon and the Cru players are shocked to the core and quite rightfully annoyed.

For Rugby League's sake, I just hope that the players don't strike/walk out and we can finish the season, or it will be even more embarresing for our sport

Common sense is not your strong point is it.

Quote: Thoth "Which Welsh Premiership football sides attract more than a few hundred ? Cardiff and Swansea have traditionally been football cities, outside of there in south Wales it is dominated by rugby union. North Wales has no elite level RU presence and no football club of note, mid Wales too sply populated to really count.
Rugby is a large part of the Welsh character football is not.'"


It is a myth that Rugby Union is this huge sport in Wales and everything else is small in comparison. This is a myth pushed by the media and Welsh Rugby Union fans and it has little substance.

If you are comparing like for like then the Welsh Premiership Rugby Union hardly attracts huge attendances either and only attracts a few hundred to matches. Football is much bigger in Wales and Swansea and Cardiff get much bigger attendaces than the Welsh regions and that doesnt even include the huge number of people that support English clubs. In Rugby Union it is only the internationals where fans turn up in big numbers and many of these do so because of the media hype and the social aspect of it being a day out and a place to be seen.

Quote: PHIPPS "
People should have worked it out by now. 2 failed expansion attempts. It's never going to happen.'"

Far be it from me to support your trolling, but read a bit of history and then come back and tell us how many times expansion of professional RL has failed in Wales. [Hint

I'd love Crusaders to win that and then shove two fingers at the RFL (who lets be honest put them on a hiding to nothing in 2009) and the board. I fully expect Wakey to win quite easily though.

Quite the opposite no club has been treated more favourably. Samuels was going to pull the plug on Celtic Crusaders if they did not get a SL licence, not enough effort was put into giving Welsh players game time, they went into administration, changed their name and changed location, then we have the mis-administration of the club (it makes HKR look like the model of professionalism). On top of this the club have treated the players and fans appallingly along with being dishonest to the RFL whilst taking a great deal of practical support from the RFL the RFL have got nothing in return for that support.

Reality is currently the club is not in a position to see out it's licence and has been run below a standard of many conference clubs let alone a SL club.

Very fair comment though the RFL have been duped by Moss and Roberts as much as everyone else and those two will not stop until the Racecourse is bulldozed to the ground and they can build houses and flats on it.

They have a mortgage on the ground. How much that turns out to be worth remains to be seen.

The ground has been mortgaged to (among others) the RFL. I'm not sure if this would put an obstacle in the way of any such plans or not, but it certainly complicates things.
