Of course while all you Demics are criticising CC you all seem to be forgetting the thing that kept you out of SL this time round: administration. The RFL were right to keep you in NL1 until you've been financially solvent for a few years.

Paris St. Germain all over again.
When will League ever learn....

Out of interest do the RFL have to sanction/gain visibility of overseas player contracts or do they just rely on the clubs to comply with UK immigration legislation?

It's one hell of a mess and a real blow to the expansionists dream of supplanting RL in the extremities at the expense of the core geographic.

Be interesting to see if the RFL make a public comment.

They've said they won't make any public comment.

In a strange way this may end up the making of them - as they're going to have to put the Welsh lads in now.

Unfortunately the next game is against Leeds at Newport.

The big thing that's gone wrong here is they sold the ground.

Maybe the celtic illegal immigrants should open a hand car wash like the poles ....

I thought the big thing that has gone wrong was that they were accelerated through the rank and file of the Rugby Football League, at the expense of other clubs, and have scarcely sufficient local support to justify a position in the Co-op Championship?

It's sheer folly.

Mwah-ha-ha

They're not illegal, though, being in the EU and that.

The Australian players in question are illegal immigrants - by definition. The poster didn't say the Poles were illegal immigrants just that they open hand car washes. Devil is in the detail.

Why should it be the end for the Celts? At least 4 of the 6 were going home at the end of the season anyway. The organisation will be much better next year. Look at Les Catalans in their first season. They were a washout, look at thm now.
This 'bring back Widnes' thing is rubbish. Widnes made a reckless gamble and failed. They then went straight into administration and nearly disappeared.
The joke is that an 'Intelligence led' enquiry has got 6 Australian Rugby players kicked out of the Country.

Write a letter in to the Daily Mail to express your indignation.

I agree with that - at least they are productive members of the country, contributing to taxes and all that. It's the scavs that should be caught and chucked out.
