And their billionaire owner has come out against removing Marquee players. There was a rumour last year that some of their squad were on very low wages. As has been said we will see but it must be a difficult balancing job and how much of an upgrade is Sinclair over Afoa given that he will be missing for England

"In addition, the club believe strongly in protecting the marquee rule. Not only do we have long-term contractual obligations that we have planned and budgeted for, it's difficult to compete at the highest level domestically and in Europe without the ability to recruit the best players.

That middle sentence wasn't built up but it's the one that stood out the most for me.

I know he said it, just saying it wasn't exactly the focus of his points

I don't think anyone has said that the marquee player system should end immediately but surely it should be ended in 3 years time thus allowing for current contracts to run through.

Would suggest that any animosity over Dai's departure has been overcome. Surprised that none of the Welsh teams were interested.kk20gb30 wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 9:44 am Wasps hold on to Thomas Young :

Tyrone Green to Quins looking more likely

Probably more like starting in the back three. Would have been quite the trio him, TV and Nadolo. Maybe we are looking more at EQ options.happywomble wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 4:01 pm Tyrone Green to Quins looking more likely
