Former Crusaders players who had contracts into next season have been covered by the RFL at there new clubs. The players are not counted on either the cap or quota but only for as a long as the original Crusaders contract. I have no idea if the scheme is limited to only one player or not, but we where very slow off the mark in signing anyone.

Martin is not costing FC much if anything and I really think he could well turn out to be a good signing.

Not surprising,the amount of flak he received.
It does appear though that anyone on here with positive thinking is on dodgy ground.

Which, of course, he never courted. Not even a little bit.

yes indeed, the way it was explained to me was that its one free player per superleague club - this is why we took him

Not to the levels it got to with one or two posters, no.
Everybody (just about) saw through him and pulled him up about it, others just basically used any excuse to have a go.
Strangely enough, the main protagonist doesn't seem to post much since ICM/EXPRO stopped.

Oh well, I tried to tell you!

I guess we'll have to differ on that. The way I saw it, he was just as likely to be seen giving unwarranted

...abuse as he was receiving it. Bloody phone.

Not defending him either way,just making a statement.
