We're going to pay Moriarty alot ourselves so one really wouldnt expect the Drags (=WRU) to pay alot more than us before the NDC. But it is certainly wrong and against various contract laws that the WRU might have information as to what we are bidding when they (=Drags) also are bidding. I'm currently tendering for some business and I would love to know what the opposition is tendering- as they no doubt would love to know what I am doing. 
Don't think it works like that. WRU negotiate the full contract & the region agree to pay 40%. I cannot see that what has been reported i.e. WRU offering Moriarty two separate NDC's depending on which region he joins would be allowable within the regional game. I fully understand that the Dragons are less attractive to returning Wales players but that is not the fault of the Scarlets. This suggests that the WRU are hell bent on attempting to level out the -playing strengths of all regions instead of allowing excellence to flourish.

All regions should have the same WRU funding & they cannot show bias to any region regardless of ownership. I think it is probably time that NDC's were scrapped and the central monies saved put back into the equally shared pot. Regions must stand or fall by the quality of their management.
 
I agree hence why I have posted it. Comes from a usually reliable source who is very close to everything Gloucester. Seems poor show if true and potentially illegal?

This isn't true, not to belittle your contact, but effectively our offer is a sub-market price contract (as the market price is the highest offer) and therefore isn't going to be taken up by anyway. It just wouldn't happen as it's absurd.

Not even the stupidest moron in the WRU could concoct that one, thankfully.

this is the whole reason that the WRU owning one of four regions is untenable unfair and frankly unbelievable only in Wales you are rewarded for failure and hampered if you are successful.
The Dragons are a disgrace always have been and are a huge drain on WRU resources without giving anything back. It's not going to change it's in the interest of WRU for them to be succesful at expense of the other regions.

  Agree with all of the above a reward for failure, and would not be at all surprised if these claims are true

Whether true or not, given the scale of possible conflicts of interest with the WRU owning 1 region but being mandated to represent fairly and equitably all 4, then it always has had all the hallmarks of a decent soap opera this.

Can't see how it can end well.

This can only have happened with the Scarlets' knowledge. We have to sign up to fund the 60%. Ross's agent would simply let us know about the higher bid, as well.

Which is why I find it hard to believe sorry Supertaf.

They pay some of the money in line with the amount of players called up, which is fair - and good for us at the moment.

That's too simple.

That's too simple.


Far too simple and doesn’t allow the WRU to be self important. Dual contracts will always be imbalanced unless an equal amount of money is allocated to each region.

What do you expect from an organisation whose logo is the symbol of a foreign prince whose country invaded us, had our leaders hung, drawn and quartered, then subjugated us, and still controls most important aspects of our lives?

If this is true, i find it unbelievable and a discrace. Regardless of the fact that the WRU have complete ownership of the dragons, they should not be able to offer more money to a player to join the dragons over another region.
If the deal on the table is greater to join the dragons in total (that’s 100% funded by the WRU, not 60/40) then that must mean that the Scarlets have an evaluation of Moriarty that is considerably less than that of the WRU, or the WRU are hell bent on stocking the dragons with players that may not necessarily want to be there, but will have to go there in order to be selected for Wales - which I’m sure that a legal person would make mincemeat out of.
