Or good timing given he is about to embark on an 8 game tour of South Africa on hard fast tracks and at altitude?

I don't think we can put this move just down to money. Solomons wasn't popular with the fans by the end, but I get the impression that he was genuinely well-liked by at least some of the players, and it sounds like Sutherland and him have kept in touch over the subsequent years. Those kind of relations do make a difference.
This does probably leave us short, numbers wise. When is Auterac's contract up down at Saints? You would presume that he is on the SRU radar now that he has declared for Scotland.

yes, Worcester arranged the timing of the announcement to stuff Edin ST purchasers.
The deal may have been subject to stuff we don't know about (like a medical), or it might simply be that Worc timed the announcement to boost their ST sales. The receiving team control official signing announcements, Edin have often staggered them as well to give a comms plan regular stuff.
Disappointing though, very, but maybe not a surprise
