What a complete joke this situation has now developed into. First they drop the Celtic tag and are just 'Crusaders'. Now it appears they are Crusaders 'of no fixed abode'! Apparently they don't know yet where they will play their home games in 2010! Why don't we just call them 'South Wales'...oh hang on! haven't we already had that one and anyway, Wrexham is North-ish Wales not South Wales! I know, lets just kick them out altogether, save a sh!tload of money and just bring in Fax or Widnes? When will the RL learn? If the sheep-sh@ggers themselves don't want them why should we?!

The writing was on the wall from day one I fear. Personally I'd replace them with Toulouse. Having two French clubs will hasten France's Int ability and that will be far more beneficial to the game in the long run.
WEST COAST PIRATES NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......

Was always gonna happen IMO - Wales is, and always will be, an RU and football nation, you just can't change peoples' interests overnight (same reason an SL franchise in Germany or Italy would never work).
Widnes of Halifax for me too.

And for me too, they would bring far more to the game than another french club, in particular more away support.
Perhaps they should merge with Hull Superleague Ltd........play all the games at the Kfc.......rebrand themselves as Hull FC, put a million quid into Hulls bank and a pick of all their players. Thats expansion for you!
