Onwards and upwards!!!!!!

Good luck to the Scorpions, long may you prosper!!!!

If the Crusaders finally can settle and progress you have a very important role in Wales. If they dont, I hope you climb all the way.

Good luck for the season!!!

who do you have in your squad in terms of experiance? Are they Union or any one from championship clubs?

Re: South Wales Scorpions RLFC : Wed Dec 23, 2009 5:41 pm  

Judging from the badge, does that mean the club are going to play in pink and black?

Re: South Wales Scorpions RLFC : Wed Dec 23, 2009 5:51 pm  

Yes colours are black and pink at home yellow and black away. As for squad there is an open trial next month and head coach is not yet named. We are not in either the cc or NRC this year so will be squad building year where results really don't matter as much as improved performances

I dont think they have announced any players yet, apparently the crusaders wont be running a reserve side next year so amny of there reserves will go to the scorpions i imagine, some crusaders youngsters will come on loan (if they can get elliot kear they may well have the best fb in the division) and there is going to be (or has been, i'm not sure) and open tryout for those wishing to gain a contract.

The side will be made up of welsh players, which i think will be great for the sport.

I really thought rugby league in Wales has failed after the lies and betrayel the 'Wrexham' Crusaders have committed.

But I I've been looking at this newly formed side and I got a good feeling about it. I still aint fussed on the name, club colours and where they are based. But, this club looks like its run properly dispite it being a feeder club to the 'Wrexham' Crusaders. I feel that I can support this team and that I can trust them.

Best of luck to South Wales RLFC

P.S I used to post on here under Crusader00 and on the CTID forum as Crusader111

Merry Christmas everyone =)

Just out of interest - why was pink chosen as a colour on the home shirt? (Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking you - after all, the team I support has just about every colour of the rainbow on their shirt including a pinky reddy bit!)

I wanted blue in the kit. =/
