That's interesting... Sarries have zero scrum half depth since Wigglesworth and Spencer left, arguably their biggest weakness. But I thought Simpson was on a huge Salary at Gloucester?

They have 1 banned for 4 weeks and 1 away with US team.

They'll have more than 1 banned when they fail the salary-cap audit.

Wonder what you get pro rata for a months loan? A shed? A garden lean to? A porch?

Simmo always seemed to be pretty fired up and niggly when he played Sarries but I guess he wants to play.
Imagine his wage won’t be affected, it’ll just be Sarries meeting some if not all of the cost for that month.

No issues with Sarries and the cap this year - have you checked their squad

I take it that’s Ivan van Zyl?

I saw it reported that EAs arranged a friendly against Ealing for their dead week that wasn’t in their original calendar but now counts as one of those 4 weeks. Im not saying they did it deliberately knowing he’d get a ban, but rather convenient.

Rumour is that he is one of our better paid players.  Currently, third choice since Heinz left and seems to have drifted off the pace similar to the way that he did at Wasps, not likely to be in a playing squad until the AIs.

With the current dire financial constraints on Gloucester it is a good bit off business to palm off his salary for the month, earn a fee for it and learn a few lineout calls and tactics.

In terms of property choice I understand he gets a Shed....I'll get my coat :-)

I reckon 4 weeks only rates a gazebo.
