I think the marquee player has to have been at the club for 2 years to qualify. Rules out Louw, Donald, James, Perenise, Attwood etc. Which sucks for Bath even more that they can't take Donald's wages outside the salary cap.
Do you not think? A similar situation happened at Gloucester: Freddie Burns coming on the radar. Not quite as good as Nicky Robinson at the time, but had a lot of potential. Robinson was out of contract and there was an option... either keep Robinson on and develop Burns slowly (which risked losing Burns if he decided he wanted to find game time) or put faith in Burns to come good. Then last season, Burns was given faith to develop in a hands-on approach (played pretty much every game). Some say that you shouldn't develop a player by keeping them in the deep end, and that you have to protect a player in their early stages. I don't agree - we've seen what a season in the limelight has done for Burns.
thats a secret nobody knows !!!! along with a few others but if i tell i will have to kill you !!!!!!
