In the latest episode Will Greenwood and Rupert Cox discuss ongoing rumours around moves to ring-fence the Aviva Premiership, and the issue of cheating in sport in the aftermath of the Australian cricket scandal.
Will the Premiership soon be a closed shop with no relegation or promotion to the top tier of domestic club rugby in England?
The rumours won't go away and the controversial plan is again the subject of debate in rugby circles. Previously, it had been understood that a group of influential club owners had raised the idea of pulling up the drawbridge in a bid to protect clubs and secure long-term future investment.
The Offload teases out the argument for and against the plan.
Meanwhile, the Australian cricket controversy has brought the issue of cheating in sport into sharp focus yet again and stirred memories of the notorious 'Bloodgate' incident at Harlequins in 2009.
In the pursuit of glory, how far is too far? The Offload accesses the moral limit line. And in a lighter aside Will Greenwood picks his Brickbat & Bouquet moments of the week in the latest episode.
