Beware. They are now being motivated by feeling that they have been punished harshly - well, they wouldn’t say that PRL was right to fine them, would they - & that can be a strong motivator.

Absolutely agree, it would have made more sense they had been audited to the cap before being allowed to play,  appears to me that they are carrying on as usual and stuff everyone else.  >:(

Christ...just popped over to Guardian comments - "built a great academy" balls being used by the usual EA fans.

So, 17 games to go.
-18 now.
56 was enough for the SF last season.
74 points needed = 15 wins, 14 bonus points.

They could win the Premiership. 10/1 with the bookies.

Id throw up in my own lap if that happened...it would enough for me to step away from the game for a year, I just couldn't take all the back slapping from media and journo's.
They will manage their Eng players return protocols just right and when 6 nations land, they have another team of internationals to rely on, plus they will play us, so thats given 5 points.
10-1 isn't bad odd's, maybe worth 20 quid.

I agree that they will use the "hard done by"  finding as a great motivator. It will see them finish top 6 and TV and media will be all over how great they are. All my Sarries friends have gone very quiet, knowing they've been cheated too but not able to distance themselves from the club. I feel sorry for them because I know how I'd feel if Wasps were found equally as guilty. Hopefully they'll be caught again mid season and be chucked out for good.

And what are the odds on them being relegated?

There's a warped sort of logic that says Sarries winning would be a good thing. It would be so blindingly obvious that if they can still win with giving every other team a 35 point head start then the league is a farce. Maybe that would force someone to ban them unless they break up the illegally assembled squad.

Tell them to give you the cash and you'll put it on for them!   ;)

Ain't gonna happen!

I'm not so sure.  I think a lot of people in the rugby world have underestimated the genuine anger a lot of people feel about this.  Not just the way Saracens have treated the other clubs, but the way PRL have treated their own shareholders.

There is a genuine misconception that what Wray has done was simply naive and that his actions were for the good of rugby, if a little misguided.

I doubt we've heard the end of the saga just yet.

Definitely not just you, I've lost much of my interest to watch the game. I went to Sandy Park last Saturday and, although had a great day with the lads, there was no shine to the "at the rugby" experience. ALso aside from our games, I've not watched any other GP games on telly this season for the first time in I can't remember how long.

I have never wished ill on a player but that might change if they win it. The players are complicit, and if they don't suffer for whay amounts to years of cheating there will be a feeling that they have gotten away with it.
