There have been numerous cheating of the salary cap over the years . Of course the biggest rorts were by the Bullgrubs , the Storm and Eels .
Also there have been instances of lesser breaches , even our own club , where the lower grade players had played more 1st grade matches then the allotted number , thus forcing the club to pay more then they were allowed in the salary cap .
In short , not cheating the cap as the above mentioned clubs had , but merely breaching it , a big difference .
This needs to end once and for all . The NRL needs to , MUST DO , is to run a fine-toothed comb over all clubs , preferably by a recognised outside auditor and the results made public .The fans of the struggling clubs must cringe each time they hear that another of the ' big boy ' clubs are caught out , yet again .
When will it all end ? We deserve a level playing field , get rid of this constant rorting of the system before the game consists of 6-8 clubs .
