[QUOTE="Peat, post: 798008, member: 42330"] I'd completely disagree that the Championship isn't an effective development competition. I can't see them getting anywhere with what they want and, as with some others, am not full to the brim with sympathy. It's their choice, they turn up, there's nothing stopping them from getting a different job and playing a high level of amateur rugby (my club has had quite a few guys who were around that level and decided the rewards weren't worth the sacrifices). Yes, they are being exploited and should be treated better (and given the riches in English rugby, *could* be treated better), but it's not the only job for miles around. I do commend their dedication though, they're clearly insane in a good way. No reason they shouldn't fight for it though. Still, found it interesting that it's so shady down there. [/QUOTE]
