If the season starts without a statement from PRL about the salary cap investigation (guilty or innocent would be nice so that we can move on) then I can see some club owners looking to some very expensive solicitors to rip the PRL rules apart.
And its not like Bruce Craig wouldn't have the spare cash to get the lawyers in
A lot of winning is about coordinating your resources, and if Bath perhaps under performed a little last season, their squad is very strong with an emphasis on their backline, they probably only have one Lions starter (Watson) and one squad member (Toby) and one probable next time (Joe C)
But given they can afford anyone, and Bath is a lovely area to live and work with access to the West Country, its a bit of a surprise that they have so few Lions/big internationals is it not? Similar for Bristol, the Piutau's are very useful, Nathan a good player and a collection vg players like Attwood and Crane - but with even more money available to the owner, its a squad that looks like Bath's and Wasps' and Exeter's in that it looks like a squad balanced by the salary cap.
