Justin Pascoe - Deregistered

[Western_Eel]

looks like the nrl might be trying to push a sydney team out of sydney?

 

[Frailty]

I'm looking forward to JDB and Walker both coming back in the 2019 season.

 

[Tiger5150]

Between Tigers & Cronulla, it looks like Toddies expansion plans are in full swing

BUT TEH BWONCOS

 

[Tiger5150]

Will never happen but I’d love to see the Tigers take the NRL to court over something like this. Make them accountable

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol, all this drama over Robbie Farah.

 

[insert.pause]

So they requested, and were granted, cap dispensation to sack Wobbie because he was a distabilising influence on the club, but not distabilising enough to prevent them from offering him a 4 yr $400k ambassadorial contract? I can understand why the NRL are confused.

id say they would lose, they got caught breaking the rules

 

[captain kaos]

In relation to non disclosure of post NRL job offer to Robbie Farah.

What? A trolley boys at the local Woolies?

 

[butchmcdick]

Best. Off season. Ever.

 

[Perth Red]

I’ve always wondered about jobs after retirement as there is no mention of it on the nrls Salary cap explanation page. I guess it’s clear now that if a job is offered to a player whilst still playing it has to be declared and counts on the cap of that year? Be interesting to know how many nrl CEOs have broken into a cold sweat today?!

Maybe. I’d like to see it tested how offering someone a job for 3 years in the future for a position they are qualified for would be breaking the rules and if it is in the rules how that same rule was applied to the endless numbers of high profile ex players on other clubs books

Pissed off, more than confused

It’s the dispensation that is the issue I’d suggest

I presume that he was labelled de-stabilising by Taylor and since he left, that's no longer the view held, hence he returned with welcome arms.

 

[retch]

Good call by the NRL.

It's taking the heat off the other very serious things.

 

[Bazal]

Lol, all this drama over Robbie Farah.

He must be absolutely loving it

 

[Valheru]

Just another club rorting the system whilst battlers like the roosters are adhering to the rules and trying to make an honest go of it.

It just isn't fair.

I think this is the crux of the matter. When this happened, Farah had a contract with the Tigers. Between the Tigers and Souffs, he was paid every cent of THAT contract. There was no renegotiation of the contract and therefore no dispensation.

This was actually publicly announced by tigers and Farah at the time. Surely the NRL looked into it when they registered Farah contract with souffs? If not, what the hell do the NRL do?

Surely if there was a $400k hole in the contract (there wasn’t) the Nrl would have asked questions?
