As Duggan and Van Dijk have been playing since day one, maybe they should be stripped of all their honours and start again in Championship One?  |

In the best tradition of blaming him for everything (so why stop now) my bet is Brian Noble as he really didn't want the job after all!

Hannay could've got a visa anyway surely? He's played SOO IIRC.

There doesn't seem much common sense applied here does there?
I am sure the law will have been applied properly but they will be paying tax not costing the tax payer money and of course will be spending their wages in the UK etc.
I suppose if you yield to the paranoid view of the UK is being overrun with those who sneaked in illegally in the back of a wagon, claimed asylum and sought housing / benefits then you get strict laws like this that affect people like the players involved.
My comment about "who snitched" does beg the question who put the immigration service onto them and also if they can get this lot out of the country so fast (they must leave by Sept 7th) why we have an immigration problem at all?
I suspect they were easy targets, probably because they thought they were here legitimately and were not in hiding working in some sweat shop.

Could this be a positive for RL especially in Wales in the long run? Celtic are now 6 players down which means they are going to have to play 6 players from their reserves who are probably local and welsh.

Exactly. Its not even as if they are on low wages, these guys (especially Hannay and Van Djik) will be on decent amounts and will be paying on a high tax band.
Unless they all have criminal records I dont see what benefit comes from deporting and banning these people.
I personally hope they all appeal and win. Its a great example of a stupid lack of sense applied to a situation |

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

Which two points are those then? Do you mean WE HAD two points BEFORE we played them, and they took them off us?
To say 'back' implies we had them in the 1st place.
