As they were using players who should not have been in the country--are the results null and void??'"


Nah, let's not be silly.

In the modern era, we have made 2 play-offs, finished second in SL and made (a pretty poor) challenge cup final. So far, you lot have done SFA apart from make a play-off this year.
So, 14 years, 3 top 6 finishes and a CC final.......not bad for a bunch of Cockneys icon_cool.gif

But then surely they would have been stopped at whichever UK airport they flew back to?

depends on where they went through? Canberra to Paris then Paris to Cardiff International?

Bird gets in for games and he has no UK visa

Quote: Mintball "
'Cos Catalans have been an unmitigated disaster, eh?'"


Celtic aren't the same as the Catalans. I've said this since the start of the franchise applications. They're PSG if they're any expansion team. A rushed attempt to put a super league club in an area with little history or interest in rugby league.

Quote: Roofs "Why mate? Your team would offer a lot more IMO - large city, huge tourist attractions, no competition (e.g. no league football team), large student population, traditional RL side, good fanbase.

Yeah that's a plan, Celtic + Quins out (sorry Gutterfax
I'd much rather see Celtic succeed and help grow the game in Wales, just like the Broncos/Harlequins have in London (playing numbers wise, of course).

York are at least 6/9 years away from even having a sniff of Superleague, but I don't have a problem with that.

2600 is not SL-standard though mate. icon_cry.gif Seriously despite those 'successes' (not really success considering the help you've had icon_wink.gif icon_twisted.gif ), those gates have continued to nosedive over the years (Didier Drogba also dives in London, but he at least draws icon_lol.gif ).

+ you're even having to try and steal other teams' fans now for matches. eusa_naughty.gif icon_lol.gif icon_wink.gif

Anyway, re Crusaders, I just don't see how the RFL can justify having them in it next year, it's clearly not going to work (and never was to be fair).

Yeah but at least there's real potential in York (esp as perhaps you may pick up some disgruntled Bulls fans who jumped on the bandwaggon in the 90's). Pretty sure when you was winning the NL2 league in 2005 your crowds weren't that far off Quins current home support.

Anyway, your my 2nd fav club so I'm prob biased. icon_surprised.gifops: icon_lol.gif icon_thumb.gif

Quite easy.

"Celtic Crusaders were awarded a three-year Super League license for the years 2009-11."

I assume Bird must have a work permit for France, which then entitles him to work anywhere else in the EU whilst representing that 'company'

The Celtic players however never had a right to be in this country. Their permits are invalid and have been revoked, for whatever reason.

Compared to one that went out of existence six months before submitting a franchise application? After making whatever assurances were given to the RFL over their financial soundness as part of the 2007 qualifying for promotion process?

Tough call.

2,600......terrible and I blame Salford icon_lol.gif

2 points out of the franchise/licence thing that we will never get....good job that the golf is over and you can have half your stadium back isn't it.....you might get some decent kids coming through, be able to adapt to the correct quota and start playing on a level playing field without feeling bitter and stealing players from your bigger neighbours icon_cool.gif
Quins Friday Night Army is taking shape on the HKR board by the way icon_lol.gif

Super League didn't have to go to 14 teams.

What about Toulouse?
