Will it be implemented?

The bullet points certainly make interesting reading...players could also receive sanction, retrospectively that might of made some players from Sarries unavailable for loan moves.

Wouldn’t disagree with it at all, especially the insidious culture at the top of the game.
2 things have to happen for me, firstly get rid of the marquee player scheme. Secondly the premiership has to get rid of this unanimous vote rule in order for anything to be changed. Trouble is they would need all 13 clubs to agree and I can think of one club in the south west who never would

Would only confirm the suspicions and the gut feelings of many.As for the proposed sanctions - anything to help but unless we all really want change truth and openness will be in short supply.

I guess a question might be if there are only good owners in rugby why do need this but presumably that is not the case - so why would they agree to it.

Or perhaps more sympathetically.... the owners have felt compelled to act in a certain way. And taking stock, everyone can realise we've ended up in a place we didn't want to be. So let's correct it together in an harmonious way.

Hopefully it's more the latter.

If you can get the other 12, or even 10 or 11, to feel that strongly they can all resign and set up a breakaway league. Then the club you didn't name can either acquiesce or look to join one of the other leagues. There is always some horsetrading that can be done.

As the report makes clear unanimous votes are what is needed to change the rules at late notice. (After Oct 31 for the next season). A 10/13 vote (i.e. 75%) is required to change regulations normally.

This is very sensible as it stops the teams ganging up on a club part way through a season.

Thanks for that

The report is excellent , exposes most if not all the malpractice within the premiership and is correct that it is “all or nothing”. I am however a little uneasy about the reaction of PRL, I read yesterday but cannot find it now comments that they would cherry pick the changes. It may have been genuine or fake news from the media but I believe the comment has now been withdrawn.
