[QUOTE="Raggs, post: 767215, member: 72268"] The salary cap thing leaves a sour taste, but overall, it's not that bad. 70%+ EQP representation last season. Getting richer/more successful for all clubs. One of the top leagues in the game, and becoming more entertaining and better quality. You can try and peddle bull**** that they're responsible for the mess in the RWC, but you only need to look at Argentina, and how well they did, to see that for the nonsense it is. Their players are scattered all over, have no rest periods, and often have even less rest, due to the fact that many play a NH schedule in the league, and then compete in the RC. Is the system perfect? Nope, but our clubs don't rely on the union to bail them out, and in turn, the union has access to massive funds, which should allow it to heavily invest in grassroots and the national team, unfortunately only grassroots and age grade seem to have been improving, but lets hope that reaches the top too.
