Sir, are you a proud Welshman? Because if you are then you should be appalled with the club.
Look at the Catalans did exactly same as you and found success in Oz players. They now had to produce a background on French players and look how poor there season was, it's back to the drawing board and a waste of 3 years'"
Ok, if you actually want a case for what Crusaders have done for Welsh Rugby League, then you should probably have a look at the Welsh international side that won the European Cup last year.
Elliot Kear, Lee Williams, Ashley Bateman, Lloyd White, Gil Dudson, Geraint Davies and Ben Flower, who all played in the final, were brought through by the Crusaders. Lewis Mills was also brought through by the Crusaders, and featured in the other two games in that tournament.
We have more than any other club in the full squad this year, with eight: Flower, Kear, Gareth Thomas, Dudson, Jamie Murphy, Jordan James, Williams & White (only JJ is not Welsh-born). We also have five players in the Wales U23's squad this season: Chris Davies, Dafydd Carter, Jack Pring, Lewis Mills & Rhodri Lloyd.
Also, worth noting that four of the five Scorpions in the squad had been involved in the Crusaders set up previously, with Bateman, Davies and James all turning out in Super League last year, and Roets playing a couple of reserve games.
