Salary cap? What salary cap!

Someone signs a high profile player then it's a salary cap comment.
By the same logic Wasps must be ignoring it by signing Koch?

Sale are losing a lot of the South African players and don’t have a big squad so I personally don’t have an issue.

Exeter are losing a few players as well so I should imagine Sarries will also lose a few more players

Wasps have made it very plain that they had funding set aside from Dai's time for a first class prop. So I suspect we are still below by a reasonable amout.

I think you're absolutely correct, but what's being described is the rather trigger happy behaviour saying a team is breaking the salary cap since Saracens, when logically it can be counter argued. E.g. we've been accused of breaking the salary cap, yet we're predominantly academy players. Sale have about 35 players and beginning to utilize their academy and Bristol have top end and low end players so it balances. And in all 3 cases, when someone expensive leaves someone expensive joins.

Can possibly see the Sale one but I can’t see how Bristol can realistically keep Piatau, Hughes, Radradra, Sinckler, Luatua, Vui and Sheedy when they are also adding McGinty and Genge.

Rumour is Hughes is leaving Bristol at the end of the season.

I guess that's for Bristol to figure out and until it's reported as fact, we should be concentrating on our own recruitment challenges.

Hughes most certainly leaving for Genge. Piatau too given they need to drop a marquee player. Sheedy wants to play for Wales so has to leave. In my head that balances things out for them.

Speculation and conjecture is meat and drink to a message board. Where would we be without rumours

Very happy for them to sort it out. Also happy to comment on what I see fit.

Charles had said that the stories about him being out of contract are just rumours.

So not content that shade be thrown at Sale for signing a player, your happy to extend that shade further based on absolutely no information?  It's not even speculation based on fact..seems a pointless dig, but as long as your happy I guess.

I see Sam Skinner is confirmed as off to Edinburgh in the summer, leaving Chiefs.

Good signing for both Edinburgh and him.
