SENIOR FURY AT CRUSADERS LICENCE WITHDRAWAL

Former Great Britain centre Keith Senior has revealed his fury at the decision of his future club Crusaders to pull out of Super League.

The 35-year-old had signed a two-year contract with the Welsh outfit after 12 years with Leeds Rhinos.

The veteran, whose current season has been ended by a knee injury, now faces an uncertain future after it was announced this morning Crusaders had withdrawn their Super League licence application.

Senior tweeted: "Crusaders have just f***** me over what a b*****d joke, excuse my language I'm absolutely furious."

Senior's outburst reflects the surprise with which this morning's announcement by the RFL has taken the whole sport.

Wrexham-based Crusaders have had a difficult three years in Super League but were widely expected to be retained in the competition at the expense of Wakefield.

The RFL say they were informed only last night of Crusaders' withdrawal, just before they themselves were to decide which 13 clubs would join Widnes in the 14-team top division for 2012-14.

As well as signing Senior, Crusaders had also tied Wales rugby union legend Gareth Thomas to a new contract.

Crusaders chief executive Rod Findlay said: "This has not been an easy decision but after a lengthy and exhaustive examination of the club's finances, our view is that Crusaders is not sustainable as a Super League club at this stage."

The development will also raise question marks over the futures of other notable players such as Michael Witt and Jarrod Sammut, as well as coach Iestyn Harris.

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag. [b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg



My heart bleeds for him.

Whether he has a legitimate beef depends on whether they knew they were going to 'withdraw' at the time they agreed the deal. Bit naughty if they did. If they didn't then whilst I can understand his frustration not sure what they are supposed to do - run a SL team just to keep him in Australian lapdancers?*

*allegedly.

few of them arent happy.

besides seniors comments, jordan tansey said the players were only told 2 minutes before the live announcement.

rhys hanbury:
@StephenBMoses yeh gone mate. Owners f*cked us

I was thinking it was a bit weird signing my 3 yr deal on toilet paper #rubbish

Thanks for all the support from the fans. Do yourselves a favour and go support a different team. This club is #rubbish

I probably should of stated the owners r rubbish


jarrod sammut:
Is steaming willy beaming!!!! Steam cumin out of my ears ryt now!!

“@bennyflower: Can not believe what's happened to day. What a joke. No licence. No job. Need a club.” don't forget "no pay"!

Wots the sentence worth these days for murder?? The ppl runin this club hav hell to pay! So gutted for the loyal n faithful cru fans!

Awful situation.

If we played them soon at the HJ, assuming we've stopped crying and they're still sniffling, it'd be 100.

Mr Moss has left the town of Wrexham in one hell of a mess. Football team deep in trouble, Rugby team who knows where. Racecourse ground could be sold at any moment.

Keith needs to chill out. In what is likely to be an amazing turn of events, Wakefield of all teams will probably snap him up now anyway.

Think the rug was well and truly pulled from under everyones feet at Cru by the sounds of it, guess there will also be wholesale requests for contract releases not good for the sport IMO icon_beat.gif

Given the timing of the announcement and the potential implications of Crusaders withdrawal i.e. contracts not being fulfilled.

Would it not be better to announce the licences at the end of the season in future?

Players sign SL contracts one week and the next ... strange. As previously said Wrexham FC fans having nothing good to say about these owners. I wouldn't be surprised if their round 27 match isn't the end of them.

Senior has got every right to be angry. He wanted to stay in Super League and signed a two year deal, fair enough, if the RFL had not granted Crusaders a licence, then that was a risk Senior took - but for the club to decide to withdraw, is not on for a player who lets be honest has never been anything other than a model pro and is one of the most respected figures in the game.

I bet Senior never plays in the Championship for Crusaders, some arrangement will be struck so that they get him off their wage bill and he can play for Wakey or Widnes next season.
