Leicester Tigers salary cap breach?

It would be really ironic if they were breaching the cap while being rubbish although it just sounds just like a bit of poor organisation. I can’t think back to a squad that looked like it was over the cap.

Not just while being rubbish - while being saved from relegation thanks to Saracens being caught breaching the salary cap

Sounds like it's about to be announced soon.
Talk is Fine no points deduction but who knows.

Same old Tigers
I’d rather they fine tigers but give a points deduction to sarries becuase everyone hates sarries. I think that’s fair.

£350k is a pretty big overrun - that's like an entire top level player
Typical Tigers getting away with literal and figurative murder while poor innocent Saracens had to face the full force of the law

Definitely could have been worse.
The 6p is overkill imo
I meant the salary cap rules bit:
If you've got a rich owner you could just hire an extra player, so long as it's under £350k, and just pay the fine cause you've not hit the threshold for points deductions
The £350k is just the Manu Tuilagi physio’s cost.
Which year was it they only just beat us to avoid relegation...? 
You'd think that'd be bloody obvious, and not able to hide as an administrative error.
My understanding is that part of the process is to show your working, and explain why you've gone over. Deliberate overspend is something else entirely.
So it's things like injury cover you couldn't have predicted ahead of the season, or one of your England players being ejected from the EPS (and removal of that allowance), more win bonuses than you could have expected... that sort of thing.
The non-declaration whold be hit with a much harsher sanction though (IMO) - it's not the crime, it's the cover-up

Tigers must have had very low expectations.
