looking at twitter id be surprised if you have a team come the weekend

It would be no surprise to see Harris walk and alot of players to follow him.

Could be Scorpions/Cougars in disguise that turn up at Wakefield on Sunday.

Hopefully it will not come to that and the players give it their all for the fans who have backed them 100% all season but it will take a heckof a lot for them to do that after only hearing the news on TV at the same time as everyone else.

It is very rare that SaintsFan and I agree, however this is one of those occasions. Crusaders has been one of our favourite away trips. Even our defeat at Bridgend in 2009 was a superb day and night out, the sing song in the clubhouse after the game was brilliant.

Sincere good wishes for the future, and you'll always be made welcome at Wigan.

Good luck in the future, hopefully you can strongly build the orthodox way now, truly bring RL to Wales, and hope to see a few of you Sunday to continue the Keith Duffy banter.

THis came as a massive shock, I genuinely haven't seen or heard a single rumour of this anywhere before the announcement. Nobody saying I told you so.

I feel for the fans and the players. The players I suppose are in the same situation as a lot of people lately whose employers have gone belly up, which is not pleasant. Sad for the fans too.

It will now be interesting to see whether the club survive in some form next year, but a lot of people better placed than me seem to regard it as unlikely. I would have liked to see the Welsh experiment work. Pity.

Not insensitive at all, if you got that from my post, you have misinterpreted it.
I think the crusaders board have brought sone dignity to the process, something the RFL never could.
Hopefully under their own steam, they will go onto develop their club, it's just a shame that it took the board to do the job the RFL should have.

The sentiment of trying to build a Rugby League team in Wales is a good one. But the RFL pushed you guys into Super League far too quickly. You would have benefited from 3 years in the Championship in 2008 and might have been in a better position financially and with a better fan base, and may have been successful this time around, had they done this. Now Rugby League is left with egg on their face and a lot of disgruntled fans and players. Good luck for the future

The RFL is to blame for this one. Fast tracking doesn't work.

I wonder who would have gone if Celtic HADN'T withdrawn from the bidding process though?

Good luck in the future to the club & its fans.

The decision was purely financal, the Crusaders board don't do dignity!

This would be the same board who, just a few short months ago, made an application complete with a business plan that was allegedly good enough for another three years in SL? That board? The same who only withdrew their application at the last minute after talks with the RFL?

Methinks somebody called their bluff.

It wasn't the speed of entering SL that was the problem. It was the inability to see what a cowboy the first owner was, and seemingly the second set are little better.

Incompetent management at the top level did for Crusaders, not their entry into SL.
