[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 999471, member: 73144"] Ignore salary cap issues for a moment...... Far and away the 2 best clubs recently have been Sarries and Chiefs. They share a lot of common traits - continuity of leadership off the field, a squad with a strong core of English players, many local, and squads that have developed by evolution with good signings here and there (eg Skelton and White) rather than wholesale change. ie what Tigers used to be. I think it’s a very long road back to the top for Tigers. And some of the keepers of the flame like Tom Youngs and Cole have best days far behind them. All the players listed above may be decent in their own right, although in the Underhill / Curry era Wallace doesn’t really get the pulse racing. But gelling them all together is another matter entirely. This could make or break Borthwick’s reputation quite quickly. [/QUOTE]
