Can you have joint wooden spooners?

Now we all know that the Melbourne Underbellamy's have their hands firmly around the 2010 wooden spoon.

That is a gimme.

But what happens, and I strongly believe that it might, if say two other clubs happen to come unstuck through this cap rorting system.

Warben or whatever his name is has already alleged that someone was getting 200grand more then he should of.. blah blah blah, and we all know about allegations of free dwellings. And this rumour just won't roll over and die north of the Tweed.

So lets just say that three sides get caught out, how do they work out who has the spoon.

Is it the one that has rorted the system the least doesn't get it ?

Sort of a crooks for and against.

15 joint wooden spooners..

spose you'll have to have a 15 team finals series to fight it out for the spoon, while the local hospital deals with plenty of drunken sharks fans

Maybe a game of Monopoly but have the game redesigned to suit the current NRL standards.

You know,

you have been caught rorting the cap, loose 26 competition points.

You have been gifted 5 straight free to air TV games - collect $400,000 from sponsor

Your books don't balance loose $80,000.

Your team bus driver is delirious - go straight to North Sydney Oval.

If you are playing with a "star club" icon you get a better deal, for example,

Star Team Icon - your leading player has been caught pissing - you are warned

Battling Team Icon - your leading player has been caught pissing - fined $10,000

************************************************

I think I am on a winner here, its my idea, no one else steal it.

Correct me if i'm wrong...

But if the case in point does occur and one or two more teams cop the same punishment in terms of points stripped and can't accrue points.... wouldn't then the FA decide which team? As it seems that they can only not accrue points, i would assume that the F/A would still be recorded against the Storm the same way it is recorded for every team playing the Storm.

Maybe a flutter on Brisbane is worth while eh :p

That's exactly why betting agencies aren't paying back monies bet on the wooden spoon.

It ain't fair if you've backed us for the spoon and then this happens so it seems a gimme that all monies would be refunded - but the chance someoene else will get pinged has left it all up in the air.

Those bets may be refunded at year's end.
