I think he opted for the lobotomy.

On a similar note, won't Quins have something like 3 Antipodeans compared to Wakey's 8 or 9 on Saturday?

Correct...Dorn and Temata are both injured so we will only have the option for 3 Anzac players Chad Randall, Luke Williamson and David Howell.
As has been done to death everywhere else on these boards, the Quota system is designed to get young UK players playing at the top level with an aim to get a better standard of England/GB team to take on the Aussies/Kiwis....Quins would seem to have taken the quota system to heart and are an example of what can be achieved if you try. That said, I expect the SL trophy to be held aloft by the captain of a team with 7+ overseas imports whilst Quins will struggle........but in the long run I believe this will change. An example of the system working (kind of) is young Ben Jones Bishop getting first team footie at Quins this year whilst Leeds continue to field Webb.....in the hope that when Webb leaves, they may have a pretty good replacement ready to step in......

Back on thread, I am very happy for Wakey that they seem to have got past this issue and can look to the future with more confidence........good for the fans, good for the game in general.

5th aint a bad level is it

is this some kind of record , just 28 days into the decade and already dick of the decade is revealed

Mate, I could not agree more with the sentiments, or with the ideal scenario you very well dcescribe. But the question remains unanswered...how to get there? Its all well and good saying clubs should have a business model and all that, but - again - where is the income coming from? You simply cannot cut costs much more in most areas (unless you are lucky enough to have e.g. a Moran paying for Johns to come over or a Davy saying go spend the cap on Hodgson I'll underwrite it) without losing the best players to other sports or otherwise from the game completely. What would YOU do to create this sustainable business model? Not a meant to be a clever-dîck question, cos I've been struggling and failed miserably to answer it for years so I'm at a loss too!

Dally, I'm no apologist for some of the moronic Wakey fans (thankfully they have sensible ones too) who talk so much garbage on what they seem to think of as their own private fiefdom of a MB. But that comment is utter age and even you should be embarrassed with it, IMO. Wakey did a damn sight better last season than some clubs with fancy new stadia or great-on-paper teams, as well as my own team, and despite considerable adversity, so you are just reinforcing what seems to be the generally-held view that you are a complete wassock, I suggest?

directors putting money into a club so it can spend the full salary cap isnt the same as not being able to pay your tax debts
