[QUOTE="bates, post: 230996"] I agree with old Prestwick on this. If I'm not mistaken most of the players of a S14 team are from the area/ state of where the team is situated. You can't blame talent to grow faster on place than another place ( sorry for the crappy sentence). Off course the Crusaders will buy decent players to have the best team in the league. But the Coach also plays a huge rol in the picture. I support the Chiefs and they have decent players, a couple of All Blacks etc... But every year the finish Top 8, why? Because they don't have that little extra to win more and important games. Would their situation change if the top 4 S14 would have a salary cap? I don't know to be honest. I completely understand your frustration, but I see this as an extra motivation for the other teams to continue their investment in the youth, their own team and one day a new champ will stand up. It 's like in Baskettball, in the 80' s You had Magic vs Bird, 90's the Jordan area and now The Spurs, Lakers and Celtics; [/QUOTE]
