Sling that shower out of Superleague now before the sport loses anymore of if dignity!

The whole thing is starting to become a little embarrassing now. Much more of this sort of thing and I can see that franchise going elsewhere.

My thoughts exactly its been nothing but bad news from this club, moving stadium financial rumours and now this its a joke and shows that the plan for them hasnt worked, surely the club were involved in the Visa applications and IIRC their were problems prior to start of season that club mentioned...OOOEERRRRRR

and i do recall correctly

surely the RFL will step in to support the crusaders and their players?

but it seems a bit strange that people who are getting paid and therefore are paying taxes in the uk are being punished while there are people who are genuinely here illegally (not just because of an admin blunder) who are quite happy in their job cleaning desks in the home office

Obviously this announcement has been timed to suit Leeds who play them next week.

Bradford probably wouldn't have lost to Celtic if this had been spotted earlier - the anti-Bulls conspiracy strikes again. Hetherington's arm has grown long indeed - with the Eastwood u-turn and now this he seems to have infiltrated the lower echelons of government

Quite a shambles by the looks of it. Looks to me as if the club has dropped an enormous clanger over the visas. An example of how the front office can have a big impact on the playing side of things.

I feel for those fans, they deserve much better from their club.

I also think there is a place for Celtic in SL. But only if they can be trusted to organise their affairs better.

Illegal is Illegal if they are here on the wrong Visa then they deserve to be booted out, why should the RF lassist and get involved this is a club administration problem, would they step in for any of the bigger teams...Fact is this Welsh francise is failing and failing badly sooner the RFL accept this the better.

Has Mick hacked this account?

Yes. I am Mick

That said I feel sorry for the Celtic fans. They have done nothing wrong apart from enjoy watching live rugby league in a non heartland area.

I would like to point out I have no problem (in fact is admire) these pioneers and you have my sympathy at this time.

My whole problem with this has been how the whole thing has been carried out by the RFL.
