I think the significance is that PRL is owned by the clubs... Not the RFU.. the other 12 clubs in the PRL.. I would guess they all had a heads up before the sanction went to press.
This is a poignant sentence . Look at Harelquins and bloodgate. 13 years late and they haven't been forgiven and never will be by some.TeflonTed wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 5:22 pmSince we seem to have 2 threads on the same subject, I’ll post this on both!

It's not easy to say the above but unless the appeal finds differently we will be labelled cheats forever!“
How can a salary bill be reduced with so many players contracted? It's always dangerous to talk about contracts without seeing the detail in the small print and there could well be a clause which would apply.
Well, that theory will always be correct - by removing the 'cheaty' bits, of course it will, as they will superfically be sticking to the salary cap anyway.poyntonshark wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 10:27 amSome appear to believe that only the 5 joint investments with/for players take them over the cap, if so then squad could remain "as is".
That's a pretty grim reality. it would devalue the premiership, as the casual interest would shift to the Champions Cup.A38 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 9:25 am
There is also the suggestion that certain players would be de-registered from the Premiership whilst still being registered for the Champions Cup - where there is no salary cap. Those players would also be eligible to play for their England. In effect, Saracens would have two squads.
Interesting speculation - but only speculation.
In reality its probably the only possible option as to release a player midway through the season would mean they are likely out of work for the year so legal action against the league and club for loss of bonus etc.TVM wrote:That's a pretty grim reality. it would devalue the premiership, as the casual interest would shift to the Champions Cup.A38 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 9:25 am

How about the North London Cheats League Division One? This would be a two team league featuring the Cheats and the Cheats A team - after all their cheating has allowed them to have enough players for at least a couple of decent squads.Southstand(again) wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 10:55 amhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/spor ... -pt2q0068h this one ?
I tend to agree with the points made in this article. Their behaviour has the potential for destabilising our game.
There are no grounds for appeal. What is actually happening is a procedural review.
I honestly believe PR have dotted the I's and crossed the t's with regard to the people they have used. Procedure won't be an issue - otherwise we would have had another behind closed doors decision.
I would have stuck them in a division where we don't have a salary cap for the next three years.
