[QUOTE="danny, post: 167522"] The fact that Gloucester are a well financed team is not in doubt the question is are they operating outside of the salary cap. No-one knows for sure but the size and quality of the squad is sure to make peole ask questions. If Gloucester have broken the rules they deserve to be punished but i imagine nothing will happen as it is very easy for clubs to pay players through second parties and difficult to prove. That is the problem with salary caps they are open to abuse. Also its a bit rich for Bath to be having a go at Glos for not playing by the rules in a financial sense cause its not long ago that Bath were operating as a professional club in the amature era. Funny how things turn around. As for what Ryan said i have to agree, why put out a side to lose. Bath could have gone to Wasps and had a good chance of winning and been top of the league if they beat Glos on Friday. I suppose the only time to judge is at the end of the season. Im sure if Bath lose out on the play-offs by 1 point they will regret playing a weakend side at Wasps when they were in a purple patch of form. [/QUOTE]
