[QUOTE="Yoshimitsu, post: 984335, member: 71899"] Firstly thanks for the fair challenge it has certainly made me re-evaluate my stance. I think my views are coloured by some positive experiences with Saracens and also a natural suspicion that they are unlikely to be the only culprits. However, your analysis does give me pause for thought. I'd ask to see your working but I suspect I'm on a hiding to nothing. Whilst there's a degree of subjectivity e.g. non qualified "lions", it's unlikely to shift the argument far enough my way to be definitive. A couple of things that I'd question for example that there's a direct positive correlation between number of caps and cost to employ? Jason Leonard has a bundle of caps you could probably employ him for a pie and a pint. I assume your analysis is based on squads from this year? There has been movement in the last couple of years that may affect things. Again probably not enough to bring me comfort. It's interesting to introspect regarding this. Usually I'm an absolutist when it comes to abiding by rules and punishment should people fail to do so. For example the shambles that wada and the IOC have become saddens me greatly. If the outcome of this sanction is the destruction of Saracens I guess I'd believe it's too high a cost to bear. But no doubt you could reply that's exactly why Wray doubled down.... It certainly appears that he did. [/QUOTE]
