[QUOTE="gaston le gaff, post: 674009, member: 61265"] I see where some of you are coming from but money does not buy success but it certainly helps, PSA got Toulon promotion but it more or less stopped there,and they did not even qualify for the H Cup for a couple of seasons. Once you buy or sign the big name players you have to fit the unit together, unlike in football one player can score once which wins the game, in rugby, that just is not going to happen. Toulon have come together now as a very good team because of what happens behind the scenes and on the training pitch, everybody has a massive role to play, the guys who are never seen in the lime light, the guys who never see much credit for the job they do, and lots are voluntary. Firstly money will not get everyone in a team, some certainly, there has to be a whole lot of other equations before a player signs. At Toulon where PSA failed to win any silverware of significance, Laport has won already 3 massive trophies, and there is good reason that it may continue, unfortunately for the rest of us , buts thats life. At Montpellier i see the problems all time that we have with are foreigners when they arrive there are so many problems obviously the main one is the language, once that is mastered there are many more, and cultures are also very different, to get that unit into good working order, it take time and effort by many people. Money is a great asset but so many other things have to be in place before success is recognised. [/QUOTE]
