A bit like letting them spend above the salary cap then? :smt002 :smt005

Re: ONLY a British league can save English rugby!

Can you really imagine that the other Home Countries Unions would go for it? I don't. You then get in to the realms of divisions and where does that leave the English Championship and its Celtic equivalents. Non starter simple, the top team in the English championship has a 2 leg play off with the ...

Re: Salary cap breach confidential settlements

Just registered on Shedweb as Glaws are on telly tonight played an alleged breaches. Suggested they employ one of their favourite chants (it never stops when we play down there :smt002) when Sarries come out to start the match: Same old Sarries, always cheating. Probably won't happen, but would be n...

Re: JDV

I am almost getting bored of typing this: The fact that Tigers have consistently been in the market for a one year deal for a 12 this summer is a pretty clear indication that they think they have got the player they want for next season. They were prepared to spend big, but the right man isn't avai...

Re: ONLY a British league can save English rugby!

England have fallen further behind since 2003 Just to highlight one of the many poor arguments, given England won in 2003, going backwards was always likely, especially with all the retirements. And as no-one has yet retained the WC, all past winners could be said to have fallen behind after winnin...

Re: ONLY a British league can save English rugby!

Once again I find myself moved to post on this subject. I value varied opinions but find most of the posters are taking tommy rot to new heights. This will never happen and the strand should now be closed. You do a good line in high handedness Noddy555. Who are you to decide when a topic should be ...

Re: 2015/16 Squad/Contracts/Rumours Thread Part 1

I notice that he neither confirmed nor denied it, but ended by saying "until the ink is dry on the contract, nothing is certain." He also seemed to be having to think about how he phrased his answer. This would suggest that they are in talks, but still a way from being sorted, yet.
