Doesn't surprise me, for rumours of firesale to be true you'd think it means the biggest earners are already contracted (therefore part of the issue)

And there in lies his issue. Huge amount of his budget tied up with these 2 Sinclair and them next season one would imagine Genge

Will be interesting if Genge follows the path that Sinckler did when he moved.
Sinckler was arguably top 3 TH in the world during Quins time.

Lam setup just isn't designed for front rowers to be front rowers.

Less adamant and more that they have lucrative contracts in place that were signed before the marquee changes took place so they aren't effected by the marquee reduction, if I remember rightly. Given the current salary climate there's probably not much chance of offloading either as presumably they'd only move if another club offered the same cash or Bristol would have to make up the difference which would mean dead cash in the cap.

That's one way to stop the questions isn't it. They are both under lucrative contracts so as I said it would be difficult to see any change happening.

They both seem to spend as much time on the treatment table as they do on the paddock

Diamond is marmite, you love him or you hate him, for me enough players will get onboard his plan to get a movement up the table however eventually more will be turned off him so don't see that improvement lasting.
