[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 613800, member: 20605"] I do. The loser is rugby. It shows that PRL are grabbing a little bit more power. A little more control over the clubs, a fraction more control over players, a tiny bit of extra influence over the unions. It might be win-win in the short term but in the long term, if it is allowed to continue, it will destroy the international game. Right now, if I was a foreign player in the Premiership, I would be telling my player agent to tell the club that I want any clauses that limit the Club's ability to release me for ANY international match to be removed, and if they weren't willing, I would be looking for another Club when my contract is up. If I was being approached to join a club, I would make it clear to my player agent that a contract containing such a clause would not be signed. The player's contract is with the CLUB. If the CLUB chooses to release them for ANY duty, be it playing for their country visiting the local spinal unit for a goodwill visit it is THEIR business. For anyone who would trust PRL with the future of the international game, this should be a little glimpse into their real agenda, and anyone who still trusts them to respect the international game is living in La La land. AFAIC, PRL can fack off! The sooner McCasherty and his arsehole mates are all lined up against the wall and shot, the better off the whole game will be. [/QUOTE]
