Just watching the Cas/Cru match and Phil Clarke quite catagorically states that the Crusaders have no fear of relegation! Now I know we have suspected this all along but for a Sky presenter to announce this live during a match is appalling. Come on Andrew Glover fight our corner with the RFL!!!!!

I think he was referring to the fact that they can't be relegated due to finishing bottom of the league but I take your general point.

Just posted exactly the same thing on crusaders crowd thread.

Being female was in kitchen cooking roast so missed it , cannot believe he said it. Am really nervous re 26th although surely everyone can see injsutice if we are kicked out and Crusaders are in.....what do we know of their community development, academy teams etc , how many local lads are in their team,

The thing is I've never heard such biased presentation....the fat bald one is giving the Cru everything.!!!!!

Ofcourse he is, if it was Wakefield it would be cas off boil, cas off day, wakey lucky.

We've had it all season. I wouldn't see past rfl to put our last game vs cas on sky to take a few thou off gate

jeez the paranoia on here is growing in intensity! What on earth you will be like after 16 years out of the top flight lord only knows!!

If we went down we would do our best to get back up and get on with it like last time not just be bitter

it doesn't work like that owd cock!
Once you're downhere in the sludge, you will find that getting back up there is not on the RFL/Sl's agenda. You will belong to a paralell existance that the RFL doesn't give a sheeite about. Getting back will of course be your dream - just like it has been mine for the last 16 years! But eventuually you will come to a similar conclusion. It ain't happening!!

It's been your dream for 16 years but there's only been franchise for 3 when we went down 94 ( werent invited like yourselves) it took us 3 seasons to get back in and if it wasn't for NM being called in we wouldn't be about losing our franchise now. Fev fans are always giving the sob story but have you won anything to qualify for SL?

have trinity? I'm not sobbing - I lknow what reality is like for following a club outside SL! I believe you will do soon!

Yes we won the grand final to get here. Didn't you go cos I'm sure it was against Fev?

We won the GF in 98 against your goodselves to qualify winning the league as well even though that doesn't mean anything anymore. Never been relegated and had some good play off wins built a community team that serves the city brilliantly and which has been recognised by the RFL as best in RL. Stadium and previous regime have let us down but great off field progress have been made with new regime

aye I did!!!! It still haunts me!

and since???? 62 talked of 'deserving a place' in SL.

We can debate the rights and wrongs all night. It's been done to death on here the last 12 months and on our forum for the last umpteen years!
My original post was egards the paranoia on what Phil Clarke is alleged to have said.
You're getting as paranoid as the rest of us in the land that the RFL has forgot! Get used to it! The symptoms get worse!

What gets me is this was one of the worst games on TV this season, both sides were pretty poor did you hear the SKY team saying this??? erm no...If it was Wakefield on Eddie would be constantly on about how bad it was and how poor we have been all season...
