What can the union demand? Their members are just going to accept lower pay in the championship - or I suppose England dropping their selecting only from the prem policy

Isn’t prem rugby seperate from the RFU? I’ve no sympathy for the prem teams

Didn’t Brighton somewhat rate him though? It could be why we got him for 1m

With Hamer - there’s more of his ability in his position then there is a Gyokeres - yes he’s our best player, yes we’ll never replace him - but if you’re say West Ham. You could find a player of similar ability in Europe for a third of the price same with Sheaf -he’s class, but you can pick up...

2bf mate when did we get to the stage where you’re turning your nose up at a player who scored 15 goals in the championship for a team that got relegated. yates would be a good signing for us

To be fair Kane and Moore were alright. Just didn’t happen for Waghorn
