good for Leigh, after 114 years that is quite the acheivement

which is a good response to the problem is it not? that other people are seeing the potential of our game in wales and are wanting to get involved

Iwe ignore the wild media speculation, again, we have gone from no-one wanting to be involved a few years ago, to another party seeing the game, and wanting to get involved, again a good thing

if Samuels were to pull the plug it would be a bad thing, but this hasnt happened
what would you like to know? they have also just signed Matt Utai and Tommy Lee, im sure others are on their way

no, nobody has said it is all smooth sailing, there are negatives and positives regarding celtics current position, they still have the potential, and in some areas have made good progress, in others poor, but it was never going to be easy

obviously not as intelligent as i first thought, still not going to bother explaining my point to you, still reckon you wouldn't understand it appears you are a lost cause in all these so blinkerd its untrue, fortunetly time will tell

eeerm, yes?

The other part is silly. Taking the odd game on the road can work, but it's not the same as not knowing if you're playing in Liverpool or Bristol from week to week and saying it's okay because they're both English and it's spreading the game

Silly given the number of teams in England yes, but we are talking about Wales

It will be if they dont make any revenue from doing so

it would be if the players were constantly harrassed by horny chimps as well,

but its likely the club would endeavour to avoid either circumstance happening

They can endeavour all they want , just like anybody can endeavour to be successful , doesn't mean it will happen though

That is the modern view but bowes is right about what he said pre-1950.

Wales back then did not exist as "country" according to the British government. Scotland and Northern Ireland existed but Wales was treated as an extension of England.

Newport and Gwent generally didn't pass into Welsh hands until 1974 prior to that it was considered to be "Monmouthshire" and part of England. I have an old 1930s map that shows it as being part of England.

Not that this has anything to do with rugby or Crusaders but it just rather illustrates the point that what is considered to be a "nation" is rather point-of-view and subject to change.

Most people don't consider Cornwall to be a nation these days but up til the 19th century it was.

it doesnt meant it wont happen too,

in fact, and this may suprise you, actually attempting something makes you much more likely to acheive it

I'm fro Newport and consider myself Welsh. I wasn't born in the 1930's so shove your map.

What has this got to do with anything anyway? Crusaders are in Super League and here to stay.

Lets hope so.
