Now once again rugby union show the way. That’s what you call a punishment for breaching the cap 5.3 million fine and 35 points deducted. Sarrisons won’t do that again. We should hit our teams just as hard.

If England had won the WC, the RFU would have been out of pocket by a very similar amount to the fine, as they chose not to insure against paying out winning bonuses.

If you did that to a Super League club, it would be condemned to go out of business

As will Saracens if they are unsuccessful on appeal, most of the squad and coaching staff will have clauses if they drop a division, the bottom team in 2018 finished on 31 points, so Saracens would be on -4 points if they had the same kind of season.
