The interesting thing about the Sarries saga is that they had a choice of opening the books or relegation. They chose relegation.
Now the next tier is not that strong, especially once Newcastle move up and no doubt Sarries are going to take the cost hit for a year in the wilderness. My guess is that they have 'arrangements' for key players to stay. -
Haha

@taniwharugby ok I'm being seriously dim, but I don't really understand why it's funny?

In amongst Liverpool/Man Yoo & Spurs this story has some currency at work today!
Although, as is the way in Britain, the media are trying to be the story. Apparently Walrus has been going full nuts on all 'n sundry who are sullying the great name of Saracens. Paul Williams, who is probably the most neutral, calm, balanced reporter in the business has apparently had legal action threatened on him by Jones!! If you have a look at his twitter timeline, it basically confirms this (he doesn't name SJ, but its never denied either when every response is basically saying it's him). Jones has essentially nailed his colours to the mast 100% that this just a other clubs conspiracy against them. And of course, he has his sources but needs to ensure his legal team is fine before he goes public etc.
The whole thing is really quite unbelievable.

George Moala and Jerome Kaino have been nominated.
Finn Russells pic looks like it has been taken while on the turps.

Lincoln McClutchie will be thrown into the deep end by the Red Hurricanes in only his second game for the team. He'll start this afternoon's game against Kobe Kobelco Steelers, marking nobody less than Dan Carter. They've shifted Marty Banks to 12.
The Red Hurricanes aren't among the best Top League sides, so I expect a big win for Kobe. But great for McClutchie to be able to play against someone who will undoubtedly be one of his greatest examples/heroes.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a way to watch this game.
