Does Crusaders signing Shannan McPherson on a 2 year deal hold any major significance ?

You never know he may come over like Hickey !

In theory no more than us signing Hickey on a two year deal. In practice its probably because they know they are safe and have been able to confirm the same to him.

Does that mean he'll have 2 seats on the plane as well

All joking a side apart from the administration how is our bid worse than Hull Kr's ?? I think biting our nails from the start of the season is a utter joke making us wait until the 26th ! Great way to treat Rugby League fans .... ... argh

In all honesty it's a torrid way for supporters to be worrying for months on end about franchise license.

I have gone way off liking the franchise idea although I do understand it's reasons for being implemented.

Bring back p+r

Couldn't agree more Trojan. The franchise system is fundamentally flawad and although perhaps 1 club every 3 years is happy. How many clubs are going to be disappointed.
Leigh, Halifax ??, Barrow, Featherstone and thats not the end of it.

Another great Welsh signing.The Crusaders are really helping the improvement of their national team with another Aussie.

How many Antipodeans is that they have now???

At least Les Catalans have improved on numbers with their French contingent.

Here's a question. How many aussies etc will they be able to have from next season.
Will there not need to be some sort of reduction ?

They are still on an unlimited quota I think.

Which is a joke if you ask me, they should have to abide by the same rules as everyone else.

They have re signed Micheal Witt for a further 3 years
Looks like they are confident of SL status !!!

We extended Mariano's and Wildies contracts.
