Saracens docked 35 points

[matelot22]

Apologies if it's been asked before, I've not had time to read the whole thread yet, but if they retain the all of their players, then how to they include the future value of the property assets within the cap? I can't see anyway around it unless they sell the properties now or those players are forced out of the squad??

Anyone any ideas how this might be achievable?

This seasons cap transgressions will not be assessed until June 2020. The findings to date against them are for the last three seasons (ie since they last alledgedly transgressed). This season unless something happens from PRL/The Owners they can effectively continue on and get fined again. Stupid but until clarity is given that is how it looks!

Newspaper headline suggesting that other clubs may sue Saracens?! 
Presumably Wray will have sought legal advice before entering any co-investment schemes. Will this explain their defence that any faults were “inadvertent”. I must remember that word for future sins. 😷

Trying to get their away support above 6?

I shall enjoy watching the game tomorrow!

Watching Austin trying to get an EA to comment will be painful but fun.

It's an away match, how will he find one?

Having had the "pleasure" of watching the Glaws game - Sarries apparently "used their anger" according to their coach interviewed, this week for motivation quoting "the haters gonna hate and we don't care"

So the players really don't think anything's wrong? The coach thinks the same in order to "use" the "anger"? ffs.....

I didn't like them before this...but blimey.

I'm not surprised. That's the thing about privilege, they probably think they earned it and deserve it. They completely fail to accept that their privilege may be due to unfairness, discrimination, and deception.

The Rugby Paper today in its editorial and comments by Colin Boag are supportive of Saracens. They believe the penalty to too harsh, they believe that "per se" Saracens' player arrangements were not wrong...and...(.and I find this to an unbelievable view) they state that cheating is a fact of life in rugby, that rugnu attracts people who want to cheat and that all players spend a full 80 minutes trying to cheat!!!

No I don't buy that paper either due to the narrow minded views of Boag and Fissler.

[Dgwasp]

That has saved me some money too, supporting one of the biggest events putting our game in danger... Amazing.

Is there some parallel universe where Sarries' morals exist? FFS, that's quite breath taking
