Danny Addy's rugby league career is set to continue into its seventeenth season, with the Scotland international signing a deal with North Wales Crusaders. This comes after the demise of Featherstone Rovers, who were not granted entry into the competition following their administration and subsequent issues. Addy, who has previously played for Bradford Bulls, Hull KR, Leigh, Salford Red Devils, Dewsbury Rams, and Widnes Vikings, will now represent Crusaders, who boast a number of familiar names in their squad, including Dec Patton and Greg Eden. The Crusaders have secured another high-profile recruit ahead of the new-look Championship competition, which has now amalgamated to make one big second-tier. While the Crusaders have a bye round for the opening week of Championship fixtures, they will take on Bedford Tigers in the Challenge Cup next week, before facing Widnes in their first league outing. This move marks a new chapter for Addy, who has made 149 Super League appearances in his career. The rugby league community is abuzz with the news, and fans are eager to see how Addy will fare with his new club. But here's where it gets controversial... Will Addy's new club be able to live up to the expectations set by his previous teams? And this is the part most people miss... The Crusaders have a bye round for the opening week of Championship fixtures, which could give them an advantage over their competitors. So, what do you think? Will the Crusaders be able to make the most of their bye round and challenge for the title? Or will they struggle to keep up with the rest of the competition?
