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.

You missed off John Davies from your list, who has played this season, and Billy Harris, who has just been given a full-time professional deal too.

I asked for first team players, not players that have played 20 minutes off the bench in a call up. God you heartlands teams love doing that. Ah yes, Johnny from down the road played the last 10 minutes of game 2 in the season. Bringing through the youngsters see, it's a bit of a farce really.
Welsh Players, playing in the crusaders this season.
Elliot Kear - played early in the season, looks to be a lock next year.
Ben Flower - played in a number of games this year
Gareth Thomas - played most of the season before injury
Lloyd White - first call up in injury to half backs
Luke Dyer - played all season
Jordan James - played all season
Anthony Blackwood - Now transferred
Rhys Hanbury - Will be Qualified as welsh
English Players playing for the crusaders this season.
Tommy Lee - played in every game he was able too
Jamie Thackary - same as above
Peter Lupton - played in every game this year
The crusaders, for what everyone says, are not full of aussies. Yes we have a large majority of australian players, because we need them. The scorpions are 99% welsh, and made the play-offs this year. Couple of them look very promising for up and coming years.
We have yet to name any signings, but it looks like stuart reardon is on his way.
and fan of st helens. Are you blind?

Are both Aussies, no 2 ways about it  if we go for "qualified as Welsh" then James Evans doesn't count at Cas because he's "Welsh" |

great first season but they need to build on it.
the proximity to the heartland clubs could make the long term difference to their survival over a club like south wales or quins with the extra away fans.
great ground too.
need to concentrate on season ticket sales as the long term future of the club
get 3000 of those and the club will be around a long time

To be honest, I'd be more bothered about Wakefield signing not even NRL standard forwards to keep young talent out. That's Wakefield having been formed in 1873, rather than the Crusaders a few years back. |

Shock Horror.
3rd rate Aussie team finishing 8th in SL.
It just shows how far we are behind, in player development.

[quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

| Just incase anyone is interested in the stats of the "mighty triupmph" of Crusaders for Wales this season, out of the 732 points scored by the crusaders, 52 of them were scored by UK born players yes thats right a whole 13 tries in 27 games, the last of which came on August the 13th, their one and only try from a UK player in that month.
Last season they scored 357 points. Just over 52 of them were scored by UK born players.
Noble might look like some sort of hero right now but the Wesh national team has definately taken a step backwards this season. All Noble has done is add an extra column to his CV achievments whilst the best of young Welsh talent who seemed to be improving towards the back end of the season have been swept under the carpet.
London finished 2nd in super league II with a team full of aussies, and look at them now with their thriving club  |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

Is that the thriving club with No debts, the most british squad in superleague, an academy product on his way to the mighty Saint Helens, teams at every under age and academy level, did I mention no debts, 2 cockney England internationals before LMS was signed by Saint Helens (did I mention that?). The only box quins rl don't tick is on attendances....everything else is just fine and I would go as far as to say thriving. But to posters like you......it's all about attendance figures and too many aussies...
What gets me is that although Crusaders are packed with Australians, they will need time to develop "local" talent. London took 15 years....but this year we fielded an all GB team with 9 academy produced lads......Rome wasn't built in a day. "Other teams" in superleague, with 120+ years of history are signing Australian talent and yet Crusaders who are in their infancy are an easy target for some on here.
Congratulations Crusaders and your fans. Long may it continue
