Not true. We are in a slightly better position than the other 2. Why do you think our boys played so well against Edinburgh? We've done a better job reassuring our re-signings. 

Spot on 


I somehow do not think that we are in a better position, time will tell, Suggestions are that some high profile payers will go!!

I really don't get this when the majority of the Welsh population reside in the South.

That might mean the development region pays the WRU for the dubious privilege, at this rate.

Yes i think that's a valid point. Our players ( whether it be good news/bad news or otherwise) pre Xmas of their future contract position.

Very good point(s).

The WRU know what they are doing Oracle.  We need a Welsh Churchillian figure to take on these dim-witted self vested scum at the porn shop WRU.

it's a worrying time, feel for the regional players, coaches, staff and their partners.
At the end of the day mortgages and futures are being affected. 

The comparison to England being made on budget, rugby in general is struggling in terms of finances and marketability. Tigers getting a 13 million benefactor injection mind different ball park.

WRU seem to be dragging the regions over the coals, till a wasps/ Worcester scenario happens. Going against their own values commitment.

We have less of the top 38 elite Welsh signings don’t we?
