Crusaders in discussions with Wales Rugby League for them to take on and protect Crusaders' community activity. Finally, some good news!

does that mean the crusaders will not exist next year?
all seems to be leaning that way

Or maybe they'll run in the Championship/Champ 1, letting WRL continue the fantastic community work allowing the club to concentrate time and resources on stability and playing.

The fault is with the RFL, sadly.

I know some people think there are Leeds led conspiracies but I'm not sure there's a high enough level of competence at the RFL to pull off something as complex as a conspiracy.

They have announced that they have graded Wakefield's youth set-up as being of the same standard as Wigan's. This is hardly what you would expect from a skilled and subtle conspirator.

'There has been a lot about the players losing their jobs. But guys like Keith Senior and Gareth Thomas should be grateful they've had long and successful careers. Jarrod Sammut has signed for Bradford while Keith could go to Wakefield. If you can't get another club you shouldn't be in Super League.'
