Hardly, but its still 2 points!

I call that a good win.
I call that a good two points.
I call that a good step up the league into eighth
I call that a good night's work.
I call that damn good!

Against the side rock bottom?

That could come back to bite

Possibly, I expect it will be season over if thats the case.

A side good enough to beat anyone on their night. just as they beat my team (wigan) where most have failed. A win is a win, i dont think there are any easy games any more, there are easier games, but all games need to be won.

Totally agree. And that is for the benefit of Super league. However, a lucky 4 snatched win against the side rock bottom is hardly a 'good' win.

Depends on the context, a good win by a number of points no. A good win when you're 8 points down with 9 minutes to go and it gets you into a playoff spot yes.

what the **** are the RFL doing with agreeing NEVER to kick you 2 sides out of Sooper Dooper league - Attend: 1,122, there were more fans at Hunslet v Workington (have you lot heard of these sides) game last night on Sky, and it's 'down among the dead men' in the 3rd tier.
Welsh/Cockneys don't like Rugby League, pity that southern jessie DICK Lewis can't see this. Maybe if it would have been at Wrexham, with a later kick off, att. might have been 2500 !!!!

Agreed and congrats given your resources and also two fingers to all those doom mongerers who said you would finish last.
Pity it went to S Wales though; surely that why the crusaders relocated to Wrexham?

Ahhhh so refreshing for the great intellectuals of our time to finally come out of their caves and post such new and inovative posts on this board, my god finally some new exciting material from the anti-expansion brigade.

If you dont like us complain on your own boards or to the RFL, In the meantime let us new fans of this great sport enjoy the atmosphere and hospitality given to us by the majority of decent and friendly fans in the RL community

[size=150CRUSADER V HARLEQUINS, SUPER LEAGUE FIXTURE AUGUST 2010.
Attend: 1,122[/size

I don't think any RL fans are anti-expansion but what many do object to is expansion at the expense of long established clubs with better support who have been supporting the game and producing its players for over a century.
Remember, if it wasn't for the 'heartland clubs' who have kept the game going all these years your club wouldn't exist at all.

Well ...you got to 8th

Quins i will agree with Cru i dont there obviously good enough for the league there crowds are more then Quins,Wakey and maybe even Salford.

With the shambolic off season and pre season preparations you had I expected nothing other than rock bottom for Crusaders this season. I'm very happy I was wrong.

Good luck for the rest of the season, I hope you can hang onto your playoff spot.

Hopefully you can build on this for next season on and off the field.

How can anyone congratulate this team full of Aussie ringers? Unbelievable. Surprised the RFL don't fly a plane full of Aussies over to boost your hideous attendances.

It's quite easy really. I mean this in the nicest possible way, a team of misfits and other clubs cast offs with virtually no preparation before the season started have managed to get into a playoff position against SL clubs that have had far more experience, preparation and time to gel.

That is quite amazing and deseving of praise whatever you might think about the Crusaders project.

Crusaders average - 4,499
Wakefield average - 6,018

Would you like them to field a team of 16 year old Welsh players every week where they would get battered and interest would be low. In order to gain interest you have to have a successful side whether its full of Aussies or not. They have a core fan group of around 2,000 so give them 5 years and they should be averaging around 6000 - 7000 and the young Welsh players should have integrated into the team nicely.
Many of the heartland teams are still fielding alot of Aussies and they have been going for over a hundred years. Don't need to take a shot at Crusaders all the time because the franchising is coming up. Cas will be fine dont worry

Not bitter then?

You have to take into acount the games they play in south wales these are basically away games to Cru now as nobody or hardly anybody is intrested in league in the south of wales but in the north they pull in decent crowds plus there crowds will be down because of the fact that away fans have to travel vast distances compared to the clubs in the heartlands.

But i am sorry
