Looks like Sarries have decided to treat the rest of the season with contempt and as a rest period for some of their investments, er, superstars. A weakened side were stuffed 41-14 at Harlequin FC this afternoon. That, following London Irish (previously in a virtual freefall) winning at...

Sounds just like Cov!

No worries. It's a common misconception. However, it's a pretty decent level of cap compared to the Prem, and the income streams for the Top 14 are currently much higher, thus supporting it.

Yes, the French Top 14 has a cap. 11.3m Euros the last time I looked. Don't think it's increased since.

Fairness is a state of mind. They appear to have 'done the crime' so... However, I don't think we're close to knowing the whole story yet, but at least it's not been swept under the carpet like it was a few years ago. Given the undoubted sins of other Prem clubs, perhaps it's a little OTT for...

If you have time to read the 100+ page report, have a look at some of the figures. https://media-cdn.incrowdsports.com/fa097ce0-fc01-4b01-bbb0-e147ffa67de6.pdf On page 76 it gives a table of penalties to be applied for breaches in one season. The deduction of 35 points is only levied for...

I love Seann, but he's not around much these days. Have a look at his 'I want ALL the cheeses' skit if you can. (Maybe Youtube, but haven't checked).

Just watched an old (2011, when it was worth watching) Live at the Apollo, on Dave. Micky Flanagan, Seann Walsh, and Jason Byrne. Excellent, all.

Interesting. PRL allegedly 'preparing to release the Dyson Report'... BREAKING: Premiership Rugby ready to release 'Dyson Report' - LWOR

Me too. (Dhani's not a bad lad niver).

According to Blobby Bridge they were at Broadstreet today, and he ate Launchbury's dinner. But who the feck knows?

We don't know that for certain (although it seems likely) as there is noise about relegating the lowest placed 'other' side too so as to at least retain a modicum of competition at the bottom. Personally doubt it, but it would fit with Cornish Pirates' recent announcement that they intend to...

For systematic cheating over several years? The penalty applied only covered their actions of last season, ignoring several others going back to the previous time they were caught out for it. They are going to be way over the cap this season too. Just no!

Just remember you have to pay to park there now (and iirc they charge even if you have a disabled sticker. May be wrong on that, but check the machine to be certain). Hate you to get fined too!

Yes, very generous, but... all those unused freebies.

I think you mean 'allegedly'.

They're happy (as they can be) with it, as appealing would mean opening their books for a proper full forensic audit - and that really wouldn't be pretty. And could potentially result in their being kicked out of the league system (which, imo, they should be).

No worries. Enjoy the weekend

Oh, ok, fair enough. I've only played and followed the game since about 1961, and been an ST holder at Cov since the eighties, so I'll withhold comment until such time as I've learned about it. Cheers.
