Heard over the weekend on the various news feeds that Tyrone is
up next summer. If the Boks do cap him this summer or Autumn, we
may struggle to hang on to him. Might be worth giving him an
improved offer now

Had he stayed in SA, I have no doubt he'd be in the Boks squad
already. He was being talked up by a lot of people before coming
to us. But now - and no disrespect to Tyrone - SA have a good
stock of back 3 players. Kolbe and Arendse would stroll into
most international teams, and yet they aren't guaranteed a
starting spot. Granted, Le Roux is in his twilight rugby years,
but they have already blooded a few new back 3 guys already.

Interesting fan discussion on 606v2 about ins and outs. Most of
the people posting are posting something along the lines of
"with club finances being the way they are, I'm not expecting
[insert club here] to spend up the cap. [DOR] has said there
will be a lot leaving and [fewer / less expensive] players
coming in."
Someone even predicted that Sarries won't spend up to the cap
next season. Though naturally I did query whether they had their
graph upside down.
For Quins, though, I think Laurie was pretty clear that they
intend to spend up to the cap, and that was (IIRC) at a point
when we weren't expecting a home last 16 round, and BSKO was
expected to top out at 50k.
Given the extra home game and 8,500 more BSKO fans than planned
(which would have been around £200k of revenue, and mostly pure
profit), I am guessing that Quins might just about have done
enough to break even on the men's side this year.
I wonder if that means that when the dust settles we'll have one
of the strongest squads for next year?

That is one way of putting it, in the same way Quins are
bringing in players from Scottish

All teams recruit from the championship and have dual registered
players. What's the issue? We probably have to most formal
arrangement in the London Scottish are now more or less our
feeder club

I watched Ampthill a few weeks ago. Some very talented players
for sure, but they're not at the standard of Sarries just yet.
Charlie Bracken was at scrum half and looked good, as did the
fly half. Most of the others didn't look ready to make the step
up on that showing.

my point was that if the cheats are recruiting cheaper imports
then it looks like they wont spend up to the (official) cap.

They'll be spending up to the cap. They're one of the clubs that
doesn't care about burning money, despite their huge losses. But
they're at the limit of what they can offer given some huge
wages still on the books and no hope of discount offers being
accepted. They have some players who will command big salary
increases in the next round of contract discussions,
representing the core of the future Saracens team post
George/Itoje/Farrell/Vunipolae etc.
Plus I suppose they would dearly love to keep hold of the guys
they picked up cheap from Irish, same as us.
As the players from the rotten era slowly retire or move clubs,
Saracens become more aligned with the rest of the league.
