I met up with my uncle and his mates last week who were up for the Exeter game, as you can imagine they fkn despise Sarries. As well as the companies set up for the players, there are rumours that some players wives had jobs at the club, with one allegedly working as a cleaner and being paid circa 100k per year. As much as I hate Sarries, I dont know what they are suposed to do this season. They got caught out after the season had started, if they released anyone then they would have to pay up the contract which counts towards the salary cap anyway so makes no difference to the total. The only way round it would be if they could offload players to other clubs and not have to pay the remainder of the contract but thats not as easy to do mid season as players would probably not want to take a drop in earnings, and most other clubs are at the full limit of the cap anyway so dont have the room to bring expensive players in. Edit to add - really good to se Richie Gray back next season - been out in France for a good few season, then bringing back what he's learned to Glasgow. Im hoping the likes of Hogg and Russell do the same - good few years away earning a decent wage and learning somewhere else then seeing out there carear helping bring through the youngsters Edited January 17, 2020 by honestly united 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Real stench of the Sevcos around this Saracens thing. Systematic cheating for years, blaming everyone else for being jealous, getting pet journos to write endless pieces about their strength of character and never say die attitude and how punishing Saracens devalues the Premiership and insisting the off field issues shouldn't detract from their on field achievements. Turns out they've been over the salary cap by over £2m! That's 3 Finn Russell's, 5 Stuart Hoggs or Liam Williams. The other teams didn't have a chance against that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Their squad was crazy. Half the England team, loads of other internationals plus a core of very good club level pros. Signing Elliot Daly when they were already over the cap was a massive F U to the other clubs and apparently they were also talking to Jonny May! It'll be interesting to see what happens next season with their England players. The most likely outcome is that they will do an Alan Wyn Jones/Sean O'Brien and just play internationals for 20/21 and frame it as perfect preparation for the Lions tour. Gatland will probably lap that up. Bring Sean Maitland home! The SRU apparently have plenty cash. Agree about the Sevco comparison. Wray has definitely being dishing out the succulent lamb judging by the soft touch coverage they are getting.

Allan Jacobsen Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) As Roger Rocher, former president of the finest football team in France, AS Saint-Etienne, once said "Lyon will always be a suburb of Saint-Etienne" Useless c***s. Am I right in thinking that if Bath give Ulster a scheme booting then we are still in with a chance of 8th seed? Assuming that one of Toulouse or Racing do the business tomorrow? Also assuming we win later on. Edited January 18, 2020 by Allan Jacobsen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Northampton by far the weakest team in the last 8. They simply had the luck to be in the same group as Benneton and a rubbish Lyon side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Looking at the tables it's not inconceivable that Racing could sting Saracens. It looking like they need to to guarantee a home quarter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
