Merely asking why it was 4 points.

You probably will get in the playoffs before us with your 16 Aussies and token welsh player.

How's that Aussie player we offloaded to you doing?

well considering all the abuse the crusaders get for having all these overseas players just had a quick look and there squad consists of just 12 overseas players but i dont see fans complaining about hull kr having 10 overseas players and are looking at bringing in 1 more surley thats worse considering there a traditional heartlands team thats been in super league for 4-5 years now. and i know salford have about 9 or 10, then theres wakey they have 9 could of been 10 with jjp, then theres catalans who have about 10 so people should have a look at the whole of super league before fans just have a go at the crusaders.

In all fairness , most ' grumblers ' are reffering to last seasons Crusader squad , I have no doubt this coming season will be considerably different , and your finishing position will reflect that

lots of clubs have too many overseas players, not just crusaders. Not good for our game at all, overall.

The rfl are a joke!clubs break the rules and get a slap on the wrist!
Wigan break the salary cap 3 times and got a small fine, along with saints and Bradford,if any lower club like castleford wakie or salford did that i can asure you they would be sent down! crusaders go into admin breaking a rule and only get -4! its a joke! this is only because crusaders are a welsh team! why didnt they help Blackpool,ok they aint top flight team but they still a Rugby League team for god sak! The Rfl are looking after the Top flight clubs and teams that are far who can expand the game! its a joke

The RFL went out of their way to help Blackpool, same as they would with any other club looking like they might drop out of the game. The difference between the two cases: when asked, Crusaders came up with a viable plan to continue, when asked Blackpool didn't.
