[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1223195, member: 34990"] I think Bath are fine atm but, as you say, going forwards is going to be interesting - they did well out of Worcester/Wasps demise, but if they were signed on panic wages they're going to be wanting big upgrades Sanderson said most of the increase in salary cap, for us, is going to be retaining our young players who are on first contracts and are now first choice starters and/tier 1 internationals now Also according to the telegraph Pepper's contract is £40k this season (so he falls under the academy cap) and then £460k over the next two (not sure of the weighting - they just said it's £500k over three years) - got to imagine that was drawn up with the expectation of Underhill leaving but if he doesn't...? As an aside I always thought back loading contracts wasn't taken into account and that it was averaged out, but can't see anything that confirms that so guess not [/QUOTE]
