Re: Absolute Joke....... : Wed Feb 24, 2010 5:48 pm  
it was obvious that they wouldn't get a fine that was generally considered to be unfair.

Less than £1000 a player. Its almost worth it to cheat as one game in Super League could get us the five grand to cover it!

If you've ever seen the fly on the wall documentaries about the UK Boarder Force, for catching a guy trying to earn his crust in the back of a takeaway, the owner gets fined £10k per employee. I would have thought that a high profile situation like this would prompt the maximum fine to send out a message. Obviously not.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

They were only found guilty of not making checks on one player , I would assume they made checks on the others and having got clearance didn't think there would be a problem

The real question is what were these checks ?

I'd guess that they quite possibly were asking the sports governing body if they thought these players were of the acceptable quality

So who wasn't telling the truth in all this ?

Lets also assume that the people or organisation that made the decisions on these players can not be fined by the UKBA

Quite a smell round this subject , and it isn't coming from South Wales , I'd look further north and a bit to the east for the source

Basically they've got away with it again :evil:

Why , they were found guilty of not making the correct checks on one player , the maximum fine could only have been £ 10,000 , you would have to assume that there were some mitigating circumstances for it to nbe reduced , also are THE Crusaders the same company as the Celtic Crusaders ?

If not then who can they fine ?

Surely if The Crusaders and Celtic Crusaders are not the same company/club they should have had their SL licence revoked?
