Anyone else think CRUSADERs should have started really with a 9 point deduction like Donny and others have had too when they ve gone bump.

Who cares about Sooooper Doooper League

i agree totally,seems like they got of scott free.

i assume this is another of your alcohol fuelled posts
if you're so bitter and twisted about this, why didn't you flag it up 10 months ago??

in all fairness, moving to north wales has been a superb move for them

oh, and jarred sammit is a class act, probably the best overseas signing of ANY club in 2010

They didn't go bump, a man with a pot of cash bought the franchise and moved them so they have made the top 8 by on the field results something you lot go on about so much.

how much did 'a man' buy the franchise for ?.

Don't you only get a 9 point penalty if you go into administration? And they didn't. Neither did Gateshead which is why they only got 6.

Skint rugby club bought by skint football club = rich rugby club signing 20 O/S Aussies last min

Cru did well but the funny thing is where they say 'played by the rules' is that a statement they've been asked to unify and put out? I understand why they got put on unlimied quota but Nobby took the tizer and dropped all their welsh lads to Scorpions whilst continiuing to bring in Aussies all season long... and you can see it when they are now asked to return to some sort of quota... 'oh well there all on 2/3 yeard deals now so we can't let them go'.

Dear clearly you do alot
I was not drunk last night, not at all and if I was thats my business.
What I was saying is they moved them to within a few miles of a team that obviously had all the right credentuals for SL and Cas are probably going to make why for Widnes, they ve had a reasonable season and if the RFL had any balls they wouldnt have let the Crusaders play the rules, but it was all about them saving face, for letting them in, in the first place.
I think Cas are more worthy of the playoff place then the Crusaders

For me its well done Brian Noble for assembling that side together so quickly and get in top 8.
For what its worth I think its stupid to have top 8 in playoffs - should be top 6 or at most have format that is top 7. For 2nd season running the 8th team have lost more than it has won but qualified for playoffs.

Crusaders qualify by finishing 8th Cas finished 9th SIMPLES

Was glad crusaders got in as they were robbed of a draw a few weeks ago against hull which really dropped them in it. They needed a shock win against HKR and they pulled it off. Well done to them

Crusaders should not be in a position to be competing in Super League and ultimaely the play-offs, however they have earned the right.
