Sandy, Baden, Daryl, or Enoch ?

he will probably stay in union its dragged on to long now. Hes probably trying to bump up his new union contract he will get

He has over 12 months left on his Blues contract, he has nothing to "bump" up. If anything his position is weaker now that Rush has agreed to stay.

i hope he does sign for crusaders but with money other union clubs might offer i can`t see him coming and when a player is in papers talking about a league switch it will make welsh union stand up and think do they really want to push him to league over a golf buggy they hate losing any one to league. Ma nonu in new zealand when he was out of favour with all blacks banged on about going nrl but that never came off its just makes union notice them more. HOPE IM WRONG BECAUSE POWELL WOULD BE BIG COUP FOR CRUSADERS AND RUGBY LEAGUE THE MORE WELSH PLAYERS IN CRUSADERS TEAM THE BETTER BUT WITH NOBLE THEY WILL PROB END UP WITH MORE AVERAGE OLD AUSSIES

Average old aussies that beat hull and Leeds when the were predicted to get slaughtered?? Yeah I mean nobles obviously getting everything wrong isn't he?Get your argument straight before you criticize mate

Having watched a fair bit of Union I think that if he sorts his fitness out Powell could be a big hit for you if he signs.

its alright beating leeds one off but it wont happen regular they will not have a successfull future unless they have welsh players why cant noble just chuck in 3 or 4 young welsh lads like elliot kear, mills, white etc if it was down to noble sam tompkins wouldnt have played proper last season it was only that tim smith which was complete sh*t got injured. tompkins went on to play for england well against the aussies. Them welsh lads show they can play and hold there own in the european cup last year were there were superleague players up against them.(SHEFFIELD ONCE BEAT WIGAN AT WEMBLEY AND SALFORD MANAGED KNOCK WIGAN OUT CUP YEARS AGO SHEFFIELD ARE NOW IN LOWER LEAGUES AND SALFORD BEEN THERE TO SINCE THEN) they are doing better than some people thought but then again if john dixon had some one in south wales to put a few quid in he could have done same as noble if not better and crowds couldnt have been much worst than what they have droped to in wrexham as well 1,800 and 2,900 very worrying pal why are there not more than that watching if he doing so well

There were 3, possibly 4 if i remember correctly, young welsh lads in the team that beat leeds at the weekend.
And as for attendances they will be sure to pick up, This is the first time rugby league has been played professionally in N. Wales so to expect capacity crowds immediately is ludicrous, If the cru carry on playing well then they will grow more attractive to locals who have been brought up watching football and union

good luck to them anyway only time will tell.

well said mate is obvious that noble sharp and harris are working there asses off with the crusader especially after big wins against leeds, hull and bradford 3 times, but no there just a team of old aussies

ive seen comments like this on a few crusaders forums, they are a brand new side playing a brand new sport (in wrexham) and if you think about it the club has only existed for a few years and theey have managed to get a decent fanbase in a short time, once the cru have been in wrexham for a few years they will get a proper fanbase with regular fans like wigan or warrington but probably not as many, all you need is time

lets be honest they are in superleague to develop wales rl and up to no they only have 2 regular players that are proper welsh and one of them is 35. Its no good saying give young lads time some of them are 21 now if there not ready now they never will be. Ive played rugby league at a very high level so dont make out i dont no what im talking about its no wonder the game does`nt move forward proper because everything we do always needs time according to certain people i.e noble instead of just getting it done.

So them playing in big matches against leeds and bradford etc is giving them time to develop? Noble wouldn't play them unless they were ready

hes only put 2 proper welsh lads in tonight flower and white could put at least 4 or 5 in. rugby league is a young mans game

full of second rate aussies..why are you not in south wales wher you got the franchise for in the first place?
