for me still to many overseas players but a strong competitive side hopefully over the off season the crusaders can add a few quality players and a full pre season should see the crusaders improve as long as noble and co stay put

the backs line is quality but the forwards could do with strengthening.

I dont see why elliot kear cant have full back or at least wing a couple he played well back end of last season when they had players deported. Surely they can slip 3 or 4 young welsh lads in every week.

Woah. Hold on now! What about Clinton? How come he doesn't get a place? Is he leaving?
I think he has been outstanding since his arrival.

clinton has been really good for the crusaders but how old is he now maybe the right time to give elliot kear an oppitunity

Didn't like hanbury either arlie lol

Hasn't Meli re-signed for one more season for St.Helens? The way Schifkofske is playing he has at least one more season in him = been awesome the last few weeks. Seems everyone thinks Nick Youngquest has gone but where has this been announced officially?

Also no place for Witt? Alfie?

witt and summut as halfback with handbury as a utility player on the bench.

not a bad side at all but think a big impact prop to compliment the two workhorses in ohara and bryant for the bench would be good. gareth thomas will no doubt be in the starting line up but a big winger like meli would be a great signing whos a experienced international winger would also be a great signing. apart from that the starting forwards are very good every single 1 of them are very good players. 2 good exciting halfbacks, just the three quaters were the crusaders need to improve with 1 or 2 good backs. and i like to see a number of welsh kids given first team deals.

in this week's league weekly it say crusaders are releasing Lewis Mills & Rocky Trimarchi

yeh rocky has stated on twitter that hes leaving no suprise there, but lewis mills is a strange one 1 of the young good welsh players in the first team squad

I was a bit worried about Hanbury missing from the Crusaders squad. Thought that maybe Hull had signed him

Noble and Harris need to decide whether the Welsh lads are going to get enough game time and support up in Wrexham or make sure they play regular RL by sticking with the Scorpions down here. Kear is more of a FB than a winger. I think Lewis should be given a chance but he's done well in Championship 1 making team of the week , I think he is relased by the Crusaders for this reason.Gil Dudson made team of the season too.

yh but i think noble will sign them both back up and strengthen the side up more

no tony martin? plus meli is a winger miles better than at centre and michael witt would deffo start with sammut and i dont think they have played together yet have they and i think they will be a mint partnership
