Brisbane Broncos under investigation for possible salary cap irregularities

[insert.pause]

So is the fine for the 450k of irregularities linked to the 300k or not?

The NRL haven't finalised it yet.

Who gives a bullocks, it is a big joke anyhow.

How can a team that is devoid of any real superstars for the last 5 years , or since Lockyer retired, be over the cap.
You have Sydney teams like the Roosters Manly Bulldogs and Bunnies stacked with internationals and Origin players,,,, somehow magically staying under the cap.
The Roosters with their 15 internationals and Origin stars also seemed to be able to sign one of the best up and coming juniors in the game. Hastings.
In the meantime the Raiders, Titans,Cronulla, Cows and Warriors continue to be 1 million miles away from ever winning a premiership.

Yes, Dave Smith, the shonky Sydney cap and evening out the talent is really working a treat,,,????

IF YOUR A SYDNEY CLUB.

You criticise Sydney clubs for having say 2-3, maybe 4 origin/test players, but have no qualms with the Bronco's of the mid to late 90's and early 2000's being under the cap.

You're baseless gibberish against Sydney clubs is as deluded and moronic as your blind ignorance of any wrongdoing could possibly happen to any of the Queensland sides.

Grow up you idiot.

What a load of horseshit.

Over the years, your beloved Broncos have had more internationals and Origin players than 10 NRL teams combined.

Your a f**king idiot.

And how many of those did we develop as juniors? Some even pissed off to other clubs then came back when they realised how shit some of the NSW clubs are :lol:

Raiders of the mid 90s? Manly of the mid 90s? Broncos weren't alone fielding a rep side. Plus the 98 side was the year after the super league split, a lot of teams had players on obscene amounts of cash and all sides if memory serves me correctly had a grace period to get themselves back under the cap. Can't say the same for the Raiders and Manly sides, they were pre SL

 

[El Diablo]

the NRL gave players on big SL and ARL contracts notional values

dunno who decided what each players notional value was

1998

NRL formed and proposes a $3.25m Salary Cap for 1999. Cap acknowledges “notional values” of players from contracts signed during the Super League war.

Either way there is no point using 97 - 2000 with regards to the cap, it wasn't till 2000 that these over inflated contracts were pretty much gone. He would have better served talking about the 92/93 Broncos, but then alot consider the 94 Raiders and 95 Eagles to be better sides, so he can't really single out the Broncos when looking back into the past when Bronco sides dominated.

 

[El Diablo]

IIRC Mundine was the last player still on a SL contract in 2000

that's how he could claim he was the highest paid player in the game

But you're right. He is a gibberer and TBH I dont even read his posts anymore.

I don't believe that he is for a second, he claimed that one day to make himself seem less like a complete dickhead.

Every single post he carries on about the Broncos like some sort of lovesick teenager.

The guy either has been following League for 2 months or is a complete dickhead.

 

[Spot On]

Indeed it is, and as I've previously said, he's the one who needs to be investigated.

But if the Leagues Club doesn't want to press charges, and the NRL are powerless to investigate someone not hired by an NRL club, then what exactly can be done?

Just normal practice for any type of club, be it a bols or leagues club, to be sweet after "misplacing" 300K for a while isn't it????

 

[madunit]

Not in my experience.

But Bronco's leagues seem happy enough with the result.

Rothfield goes off too early as it's not over yet http://www.theaustralian.com.au/spo...ls-biggest-issue/story-fnca0von-1227057109271

Meanwhile, the Brisbane *Broncos’ finals campaign is set to begin with the long-running salary cap investigation still to be *resolved.

There had been reports the Broncos would escape with only a fine but the NRL is yet to bring an end to the investigation, raising the spectre that the club could win a premiership and then face retrospective action.

While that appears unlikely — the Broncos are rated distinct outsiders in premiership betting and the threat of serious sanctions has subsided in recent weeks due to an apparent lack of evidence — NRL chief executive Dave Smith reiterated his powers could work retrospectively when asked about the salary cap investigation by The Weekend Australian this week.

“I think it’s a work in progress,” Smith said.

“It’s not finished yet, there are no findings to issue anything against. Remember my powers are retrospective and prospective.

“The only thing you can assume is that it is a work in progress. You have to get to the end of it and understand the facts. We need to get to the end of it, ask the right questions and move forward.”

The Broncos travel to Townsville today to play North Queensland, with the loser to be eliminated.
