Quote ="headhunter"I actually can't remember why you specifically don't/didn't like Celtic Crusaders, I've heard a thousand different reasons from different people like you say. But they also started life in the lowest division and worked their way up. Yes they had =#FF0000an exemption on imports, but there weren't any Welsh players of required standard available at the time, so there wasn't any other option. The only reason Scorpions now have players and fans and are able to exist and be competitive is because of the development work done by Celtic Crusaders. And to be honest, Celtic Crusaders' first season was similar in a lot of ways to the Scorpions', it was only later that things started to fall away a bit and they became too ambitious without doing the necessary groundwork first. I'm glad that you are backing the new Crusaders though, with proper administration there's no reason why it can't be a success, and that goes for any club expansion or traditional in my eyes.
And I didn't mean more successful in terms of history and trophies won, just that they got to a level where they could consistently compete with and challenge your club. I've found a lot of fans who are 100% behind expansion until it looks like it may have an impact on their club, in which case the tide quickly turns.'"
Not forgetting breaking the laws of the land and operating at a different salary cap level , and as for them being the Celtic Crusaders , they no longer exist , the 2 welsh clubs we now have are totally new ventures
Now the problem comes here from how it is done , in Australia SKY fund melbourne , everybody knows they do and everybody knows the reason why , for some reason over here the RFL are scared of telling the truth , we need expansion , it has to be payed for , but the RFL prefer to treat us like idiots ' pretending ' that clubs are operating within the same rules as all the other clubs , they are dishonorable and therefore in my opinion are not fit to run our sport
