Celtic Crusaders : Tue Aug 18, 2009 3:02 pm  

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 207827.stm My question were the rfl aware of the discrepancies at the time.It was odd at the time they were a few steps in front of other clubs when the border agency rules were changed. I dont feel any sympathy for the club, the fans yes but not the club.

Bad for the game, worse for their fans.

My Grandma lives in Newport, might pop down and see if I can get a game

Gutted for the fans. Bad for the game as well.

No sympathy.

It was clear from the off that rules were being either:

a) applied differenty

or

b) ignored

Tough.

Either the club or the RFL needs to be made accountable.

The rules probably have been applied differently.

I would suggest that if the rules were applied with the same intent at ALL the RFL clubs then a lot of players would be gone, and if applied to Premier moronball there would be no teams at all!!!

But hey since when has RL ever been a fair game with a level playing field?

I agree with AJ it seemed very odd that Celtic all of a sudden got a raft of players in before anyone else really knew what was going on. I think Crusaders and the rfl as AJ says should come clean and confirm what happened.

One thing for sure is the border agency are still investigating the club and so in time we will get the facts via them.
