It's quite obvious to everyone that Crusaders overspent last season, now they have gone into administration.

I believe Cas were denied a rightful play off place, as a result of Crusaders overspending (signing players such as Sammut that they had no right to) and whilst I know we obviously can't retrospectively take part in the play off's now they are over, we should be given any prize money associated with 8th place, also (and more importantly) receive the tick in the box we would have received after getting a play off place for a second successive season.

Once again, we are the victims of such an issue, the Crusaders club should be penalised in both the 2010 and 2011 seasons, as was the case with Melbourne Storm down under and of course in another sport, Leeds United.

Why not just engrave Castlefords name on the 2011 Super League Trophy and have done with it. Why bother wasting time and energy actually playing and winning games to qualify for the play-offs.
Just for the record, if we hadn't signed Sammut, Bradford would probably finished eighth.

Also wasn't it an average 8th place over the 3 years for the tick?
