In my universe there are no playoffs in the Championship and Ealing are 11 points off the promotion place. They have said numerous times that their aim is to win promotion andso far they have, quite literally, failed to do so. That's a failure. This isn't negativity, it is simply reality.

Which part of that is incorrect or incomprehensible?
"We are an ambitious club and have the desire to be a part of the Premiership, which is what we are all striving for at some point in the future."
It's not failure until they fail to achieve their target within the time specified for the achievement. If you could advise where Ealing have said specifically that their target was to be in the Premiership by now we can agree that they have failed. Otherwise we will have to accept that you are incorrect. Will that make you a failure?
Apologies, I missed the word "so" from my post, but I think the meaning was still pretty clear.

I have never actually described Ealing as "failures". You can misread my posts all you like, it doesn't make you right.

Have your say on Salary Cap https://www.mynersreview.co.uk/

For me needs to more incentives to produce top level England players from academy.

Barely any change - i've very quickly done it.

Biggest change is Quins drop 3 places due to their 5 point win over Sarries. Sale and Saints swap places.

We remain in 11th.
Just as I thought for us. Thanks for that. :smt023

Exeter would lose 4 points for their win.

Yes but no difference on their league position.

I think the best way would be to give everyone 4 points for each of their matches against Saracens.

Believe the table would look like this:
Sale 26 pts (better points difference than Exeter)
Exeter 26 pts
Northampton 25 pts
Gloucester 23 pts
Bristol 22 pts
Bath 21 pts
Worcester 18 pts
Wasps 18 pts
Quins 17 pts
Irish 16 pts
Tigers 12 points
Saracens - -105 pts

It has to be 4 points to every team playing against Sarries back to start of league competition. All games treated as a friendly with the 4 points whatever happens.

Funny how they noticed and acted, but only after they'd secured their quarter-final
