That's always been the case for me, even before the recent
revelations (which we all knew to be the case, didn't we, years
ago). However, right now, my feelings for them are off the
scale. No-one has apologised, even now. I absolutely will not
put any money into their greedy, swollen coffers by buying
tickets to Sarries-Quins matches, and I hope no-one else does
either. Maybe a half-full stadium and withdrawal of sponsors on
moral grounds would persuade them to re-think the arrogant
self-justification ("we did it for the good of the sport ... it
was a bad rule anyway ... just helping the Premiership to
compete in Europe ...").

I try to justify watching a game involving them by willing the
other team to spank them. Sadly it very rarely happens.

No problem for me. I haven't watched any of their games for the
last few years because it was common knowledge they were
cheating. Now that they are known to be proven cheats it makes
no difference and I wouldn't watch them if you paid me.
I had hoped that once the cheating was proven the Premiership
would regain some integrity but as it is now known that you can
win titles by cheating and keep them for me the Premiership
remains a worthless corrupt competition.
Therefore I watch individual games to enjoy the contest without
giving any thought to what the result means to the table in a
corrupt league.

No, I don't watch their games, no matter how many International
players they have or European titles or whatever. Now,
apparently, they're under the salary cap with a stellar line up
of players that could give Toulon a good run for their money. To
assemble a squad like that and be able to put out a subs bench
like they have, well how believable is that? Maybe in the
technical sense they are under the cap, I mean Nigel W. has
turned a bunch of lawyers on to the salary cap regs to go
through it line by line looking for loopholes and ways and
means. Perhaps there are grey areas that the PRL doesn't feel
ready/able to challenge.
But that's not how it's supposed to be. The idea is all clubs
sign up to the £7m limit and all try their best to keep to it.
It isn't a competition to see what holes you can spot in the
regs to see where you can drive a horse and carriage through the
original intent.

It's not just you.
I want Saracens to lose almost as much as I want Quins to win -
sometimes more so.
Ridiclulous I know, but to see them lose can beat the pleasure
of a Quins win
