[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1034873, member: 59968"] I sort of agree ... Technically, the Quins squad includes 18 ‘internationals’ but that includes a number of players like Baldwin and Brown whose last caps were a while ago, tier 2 test players like Lasike or Elia and the likes of Will Collier (2 caps) or Stephan Lewies (1 cap). Exeter are definitely a ‘greater than the sum of their parts’ club and Baxter deserves a lot of credit for taking unheralded players like O’Flaherty and developing them to the point of being Champions Cup players. However, I think the point will311293 is making is that it’s now reaching a point where that’s become unsustainable. Players picked up on the cheap won’t be cheap anymore and kids who have done well will be moving on to proper senior contracts. [/QUOTE]
