There was an article in the RL press this week about Celtic's financial 'troubles'. John Dixon is quoted as saying that they are having difficulties on the 'development side', not on the player pay side of things. The RFL is aware of the difficulties, apparently.

I hope whatever difficulties there are do not disrupt things for the Crusaders as personally I would really like to see them succeed: not just this present first team but all the young hopefuls on the wings, waiting to form a predominantly Welsh side in, er, Wales!

I too would like to see a Welsh side succeeding in Rugby League. I, would however like to see one that deserved to succeed, having a history of building a solid club and recruiting a decent team. Also having some knowledge of S.Wales I suspect that there is too little interest. Too much, too soon I fear.

Yes because they've all got better stadia, better youth development, better community structures etc, etc.....

It's more to do with what they don't have, i.e. Wigan, Saints and Warrington right next door to them...........
