According to TRP a top six club is being investigated for salary breaches. (Sorry no idea how to do link) I do hope it’s not us but wonder who it could be? The only team I’d suspect are not too six this season.
Cant see it being us. I know who my money would be on if I had to pick (and they seem to be losing a few big earners currently).
Ouch, if true just proves that some people feel that rules don’t apply to them........
Oh! I thought we’d signed one of Jess’s siblings.
It will be us and I’d imagine the real reason behind the panic sell of Mike Brown.
It’s not that difficult to scout out who it is, but PRL would have to be brave to go after their scalp. After the multiple second chances, warnings and confidential reports allowed to certain previous offenders I could see any serious punishment resulting in that club’s lawyers putting on the war paint. Most likely there will be another sealed investigation, a modest financial penalty and everyone will smoke the peace pipe again.
It could just be sensationalist headlines about a minor breach. We went over by £12,000 roughly and paid the fines. No biggy. Not exactly Salarycens level.
I’d be surprised if it is us. Laurie said that one of the drawbacks of winning the Prem is that we had to open our books to additional scrutiny to make sure we hadn’t broken salary cap rules.
Most salary breaches are minor admin errors, often to do with things like currency conversion etc.
Twitter is claiming is Exeter, but take it with a pinch of salt given how often Saracens fans like to stir on there

Is Somardino a Sarries fan then?
It would make sense it was Exeter. They have let go of two big-ticket forwards and talk persist about Gray leaving for Scotland.
Additionally, their success with their academy, producing many England players, would result in many large wage increases and difficult choices about player retention.
Something that we may struggle with. Especially with the lower cap now in place.

Then again Mark Evans has often said that when a salary cap works properly the most successful clubs have to release players season on season so Exeter's departures could also be interpreted as a club operating within the cap.
Have we had an internal investigation into the missing salary related to Doran-Jones and Roberts? Apparently money left our coffers regularly but no players showed up
Please please please let it be Salarycens.
Please please please let it be Salarycens.
The Rugby Paper report (not seen any mention of the breach elsewhere) categorically says it’s not
