       Saracens & Wray have released separate statements saying they'll
       appeal, but given that it was an independent body that made the
       judgement & sanction, and that

       I'm not sure how they feel they have a chance of winning. The
       review was led by a former Master of the Rolls and had another
       QC in the panel of three, I would suggest that they would know
       the legal side. I doubt there would be issues of procedure
       either, given the severity of the situation. That only leaves
       the realm of it being "irrational". This will run for a while
       yet, but there has to be a question about their squad *this*
       season & it's standing against the salary cap. If they are
       allowed to contest games with a squad that could yet still be
       found above the cap, the results of those games must surely be
       suspect too.

       Even the clubs statement, sounding so hard done by.  Excuse the
       admin errors as we said sorry!!!  This is going to rumble on and
       on.  I have a bad feeling they will wriggle out of this.  If it
       is true they are accepting the fine and not the points
       deduction, why would you accept the fine if you believe you did
       nothing wrong?!?

       They will complain, go to arbitration but hopefully still pay
       and still be deducted 35 points. The key point to me is that
       they must not be allowed to still continue being over the salary
       cap. If they continue to recruit more and more internationals
       then they should face throwing out of the league.

       Thats cheered me up so much. They should dismiss them from the
       Prem Rugby Cup semi-final

       I like the bit about their view being supported by "independent"
       legal and professional experts.  I wonder if that still holds if
       you exclude experts either paid by Saracens for their view or
       seeking to be paid by Saracens for their view?

       And where does this leave the likes of Elliot Daly.  He hasn't
       played for them yet and they may not be able to keep him.

       Robbed us of top 4 last season. They have got off lightly. They
       should be banned from European Cup and Prem Rugby Cup.
       Disgusting.
