i took the fact that you were making sounds as you had no real reply.

im enjoying your explanations of how the salary cap works, quite enlightening.

You’re right, I don’t have a reply, mainly because im not explaining how the cap works,

Im not explaining the theory of gravity either, so I wouldn’t have a reply if you started pretending I was explaining that as well,

Just to clear up your confusion, im talking about the problems of asking CC to compete with the WRU clubs for players, when we are asking them to spend much less aswell

And im sure it has been enlightening for you, it strikes me that figuring out what a tap does would be enlightening to you

smokey, dally, mind if if join in?

think saturday's game at the willows will be really interesting in terms of the standard of rugby that will be on show. i felt that leeds and the big occcasion brought some great rugby out of the crusaders and im looking forward to seeing if they can keep that up vs a team that has, like themselves, ust come from the national leagues.
if they stay lucky with injuries i think celtic could finish anywhere up to about 11th. looking forward to the game and a great weekend of rugby league.

You know, RL and RU clubs are competition for juniors and established players 365 days a year and some idiot on here still thinks there are two separate markets....

ok so there are cases where players fail to make the grade in the other code, but that is by the by. they've already been bought and sold on the market. i don't usuaully agree with what spills out of your gob leaguefreak but im with you on this one.

But, in terms of the Crusaders, are their local amateur sides BARLA-affiliated?

Probably not... Exeter play in the Summer Conference, and deal directly with the RFL. There's probably a notional BARLA tie-in somewhere, but I've never ever seen BARLA on any letterhead or development area cheque. We get our fixtures from, and report results to, Dave Lowe and Phil Caplan respectively.
