Saili, The Cat - weren’t we meant to sack them?

Just wondering if the posters who said they were a drain on
resources and never going to play for the club have a view now
they’re back playing for the club?

Dont who wanted them sacked , but I'm sure that Saili will be a
great asset , although it may take a while to get fully match
fit as he missed most of last season and a chunk of the one
before whilst at Munster ( and hasn't started this one yet ),
but looking forward to see him in full flow - hes a ferocious
tackler and a lovely balanced runner
Im not so sure about Cat , I think his nervousness about getting
clattered again might still be a problem for him ( look at the
way he unloaded that wild one in the last min against Sarries)
The Prem Shield could be a good opportunity for them both to get
some game time from the start .
The main point about the OP is the drain on resources , but
surely there must be some sort of key man Insurance ( either
taken out by the player or Club ) that covers the inability to
play and loss of earnings that would mitigate the Clubs losses
? - I would have thought that would be a standard part of a
professional contract . Presumably also appearance and win
bonuses that would be unpaid.
Anyway lets hope they both get on the park and give us something
to shout about

Im delighted they are both back. Re the above, im not sure it
was a worry about them taking money from the club, their
salaries would be accounted for, it was more the fact that they
are taking up cap space (and I would guess a fair amount) and
not actually playing.
I thought the posts saying they would never play again etc were
premature and harsh.

honkytonk - with regard to the salary cap , I would think when
being medically signed off they were effectively removed from
that so that injury cover could be brought in - either that , or
approved injury cover doesn't count towards the salary cap ? -
either way I don't see them as a drain .

Kind of, I believe they are kept in the cap but, there is a 400k
allowance to bring in injury cover throughout the season
(Additional to the cap). So if for example Saili was out for
4-5 months, we can bring in injury cover for him but it has to
be of a similar standard, so we could not bring SBW in and pay
him 400k if Saili is only on 150k (plus, if you did do that you
would wipe out you entire injury dispensation fund).

Fair enough , I didn't realise there was fixed allowance over
and above , - but in any event that's quite a chunk to cover
costs isn't it - and surely other parts of the packages that
make up the total wouldn't be paid - just goes to show how
messy the whole Cap thing is , no wonder some can drive coach
and horses through it .
Anyway , they are back now so lets hope we get our moneys worth
out of them !

Big call so early in a comeback????
Joking obviously....I can't believe anyone would want them
sacked/let go.... - i think it is fair to say that so far there
has not been value for money from either player - not really
their fault - injuries happen.
The Cat suffered a horrendous injury and to be fair if he plays
after that, then i can only applaud his efforts.
Quins took a punt on Saili, who was injured for a large part of
his time at Munster, and so far it has not worked.... If he goes
on to play 50+ games for the club and delivers on his potential
promise then great....

Like has been alluded to if Sialli goes on to play a bucket load
of games and we see his full potential then absolutely correct
decision, and I hope this will happen as I would expect to see
great things if he can stay fit. However if he plays a couple
of games and picks up another long term injury how much longer
do we give it?
If he can stay fit then we really have some class in midfield.

Hmm Salo's first (?) touch and a silly offload gifts Agen a
try.....

I believe there was a thread where the OP claimed that we never
Sailli or Cat play for Quins again...
