Eels Salary Cap MK III

[Poupou Escobar]

Worked for the Dogs and Storm, though of course they were cheating by more and had better squads.

Weird thread...

Pretty much we will lose Watmough (who hasn't yet played), which means we can play for points THIS year, and come back angrier next year.

 

[akers]

Please correct me if I'm wrong..so 37 out of a 64 page report handed down by the NRL in regards to breaches were given by an ex employee of the club that the current bad 5 sacked..

 

[oldmancraigy]

Maybe the NRL are smarter than we give them credit for?

They are playing Fitz and Hads for fools. Wait until the day after the AGM to call for suspensions (so nobody can do something stupid at the AGM), and then hand out a provisional sentence, which they then overturn in June, and let an extremely popular club surge to the finals.

Footy is rarely better than when a team is on a Cindarella run. You've got the Queensland teams pumping along, now get the big Sydney club to raise its head, and make up the top 4 with the Storm.

Meantime Fitz and Hads look like such morons nobody pays anymore attention to them.

Well played NRL.

Seems legit :sarcasm:

Exactly, his confidentiality obligations expired in July.

Should of payed the Merkin to keep quiet for another year.

Sounds about right....

Emjay, the definition of breach is not in question, the definition of cap is though. The penalty doesn't stipulate we need to "un"breach the cap to earn points. We need to unburden the cap.

The breach of the cap cannot be undone, unless everything thing is eventually unproven, not likely. The only thing we can correct is the cap, which we will have, retrospectively, but still validly.

It doesn't matter, 'cause if we have cheated in the manners described, the club is at fault and 12 points is probably worthy. But they have to fault those first.

In the case of your and my point of difference I feel the wording describes the cap, not the rules.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Shoulda kept both of them. f**k the NRL.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Coincidence only that the final motion at the AGM last Monday was in regards to restricting employees who have terminated in the past 3 years from standing for the Parramatta Board? Confirming also that it did not get up.
Is Seward attempting a coup with the assistance of the NRL? Far fetched I know but stranger things have happened.
I am a former HR Manager who dealt with strong unions and what I learned very quickly is that very little is as it appears. Back room deals and showmanship are generally on the menu to get a matter resolved. How much of all this has been staged and is just playing out as per the script.
My experience has me very suspicious.

Well three of the five...the other two were his employees.

 

[strider]

I'm starting to believe the NRL just want our board removed. Then they may soften their penalty a little.

The penalty already is soft if you believe what the nrl is saying. $3m over 4 years. Cash payments, etc etc .... Its not trivial - why should they be letting us even have a chance?

I reckon they've got little and they know it.

I am not saying they've got nothing ... we have done some shit - probably similar shit to other clubs, but we got ratted out

I think that is a bit of wishful thinking

You would have to take into account also that the club constitution doesn't allow for directors to be parachuted in... I can't see the PLC membership voting Seward onto any board anytime under any circumstances.

The NRL has attempted to claim there has been a "misunderstanding" about the status of the competition points.
But Mr Moses said NRL CEO Todd Greenberg had made public statements to the effect that the club could not accrue points while the injunction was ongoing.
"We received a letter late yesterday [that said] while the injunction is on foot we won't stop you from accruing points, while you are below the salary cap," he told the court.

That's a lie, Greenburg said both on nrl360 and the footy show that whilst those 5 remained at the club we would not accrue points. The question was asked as black and white as possible and he said we would not be earning points even if we were cap compliant whilst the 5 remained there and repeated this several times.

NRL a back peddling something severe and must realised they have stuffed up somewhere . If all this is found to not be true I'd love to see the reactions on the faces of idiots like Hadley, Fitzgerald and Paul Kent.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I think when Greenberg told sterlo and Cronin that he wanted to 'fix' our club, they thought he was using the word the way a handyman might. Turns out he was using it the way a veterinarian would.

There's got to be more to the purpose of calling these two also. I'm a bit lost with this bit. What's so special about Sterlo and Crow? Particularly Crow, someone who has been out of the club for so long.

Why didn't he contact Pricey, Bert, Guru, Zip, Muggleton and Peter Wynn and anyone else that won Premierships 30 years ago?

Regardless of whether he did that or not, the whole 'calling club legends' bullshit was just a massive media ploy to make him look like a 'good guy'
