Quote: BrisbaneRhino "On the cap, a recent BBC article said only one Premiership RU side made a profit last year. The difference in wealth of their owners compared to most of SL is a big factor - they can afford to pay to their much higher cap because their backers can afford it.

That's an astonishing fact isn't it. What is the cap now? 7.5 million? You are right about owners, rumour I heard is James Dyson is after buying Bath because the current owner fancies selling up and buying Toulon.
Gloucester just threw away 30 grands worth of kit after the badge re-design. Not just the first team but all the age groups now can't play or train in the old stuff.
On the subject of Union players - if there was one I could sign to league it would be Christian Wade. He'd be sensational.
