Cronulla Scandal - tonight on 7.30 Report ABC

[Miller was a legend]

That is a very different statement to "the club has not paid". ;-)

Lol. The legal entity and records of that entity both deny and indeed, support such denial of either employment or payment to a person of interest.

Such person of interest was introduced to the legal entity through a former employee of the legal entity. Events which took place beyond that introduction should be directed to the employee in question and others who, without consent or approval of the legal entity may or may not have allowed, supported or colluded to take certain actions.

Without a complete brief if evidence, undertaken by an appropriate authority, the legal entity will make no further comment in respect of this matter.

:lol:

I'm sure ASADA has.

Then I am sure they know about payment and sources ;-)

I've been pretty silent over this whole affair with Cronulla, mostly because I think Sydney has too many clubs and if they were going to chop one, it would be Cronulla.

It looks like the NRL won't have to chop anything, because Cronulla are burying themselves. They must've grown so desperate for a Premiership that they would attempt sordid tactics to achieve it, and 1 year after the Storm saga no less. Unbelievable.

Sharks fans can scream till their throats hurt that everyone has been death riding their club for years, and in some cases that has been true, but if Cronulla collapse and die now, it is nobody elses fault but theirs, and the West Coast Pirates will rise from the ashes.

You really have hated hearing Up Up Cronulla sung loud n proud at Suncorp 2 years running haven't you.

 

[Miller was a legend]

"Employed by" usually also means paid by, unless Dank was volunteering his services for free?

Yep, it does rub me the wrong way, then I just watch the Super League Grand Final and I feel much better.

All good, now this thread is about us being evil cheats. Take your precious bronco tripe elsewhere lol

 

[kmav23]

Okay KMAV.

Show a source that says the Cronulla club paid Dank.

Why don't you just say it, instead of ridiculous, pathetic little statements, why don't you make a bold accusation directly accusing our club?

Do it, lets see what happens

Do you think Dank a sport scientist employed by major afl club is going to work for free with cronulla? :roll:

Mate you need to wake up to reality.

It's obvious what happened.

Do you people who trust Bruno Cullen and the news do it wholeheartedly and forever and ever?
Here are a couple of snippets from a few months ago, see if you can see the difference from the other night.
Sour grapes from Bruno? Never!


So here it is legal rights and the clubs (his?) advice, but the other day it was the players joining forces:
http://www.farmingahead.com.au/News.../sharks-bosses-back-players-refusal-to-answer

Interim Sharks chief executive Bruno Cullen has backed his players' right to refuse to answer some questions in ASADA's doping probe.

Cullen says while it is disappointing, it is a natural consequence of the advice the players are getting from the club and their legal teams.

"Well unfortunately the interview yesterday was terminated, and there's no more this week it appears," Cullen said.

"So our information to the players is go along and represent themselves but also be legally represented and we've provided that representation to them along with the Rugby League Players Association."

Cullen thinks the prospect of self-incrimination will continue to thwart ASADA's questioning of Cronulla's players.

"Everyone wants this over and down with so the quicker we can get on with the interviews and get them done the better," Cullen said.

"But again the player's interests must be at the forefront of our mind, and their legal rights must be upheld."

So he says The Sharks are running the club like it was 20 years ago, making us sound like a basket case.
What I want to know is, who are the other clubs who are worse off than us that he mentions, and if we are going well financially why make out that we aren't?
Things haven't changed so much in so little time, have they Bruno? Oh wait maybe they have as YOU were in charge of finances. Just a thought.....

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...ceo-bruno-cullen/story-e6frexnr-1226598403344

Cullen said the club was in a good financial position.

"From a balance sheet point of view, they are very healthy. Better than a lot of others."



No wonder the board didn't want to deal with him

Gallen/other players been paid in cash for the last few years unreported to the NRL

the club needs to be suspended for next year

Don Nissen former CEO of the Broncs gave evidence in Gordon Nuttal's trial that the Thoroughbreds gave extra payments to players outside of the salary cap. It was common practice & later public knowledge.

Man...

f*ck cronulla.

 

[Spot On]

It's obvious what happened.

And I think this is what our legal system is based on - you know, it's obvious what happened so the perp must be incarcerated for 10 to 15 years. :crazy::crazy::crazy:

KaveMan lecturing people about reality.:lol:

Cronulla is a proper noun Kave Man. Give it a capital. When you can write a coherent sentence you can start to attempt to advise people.

And no doubt enjoyed the comment by a high profile Queenslander"what has rugby league done for me"when the SL started.Where?
At the shark's Leagues Club.Oh the irony.

Oh don't worry...the 'irony' is not lost at all. Nor is it forgotten.

Super League = Cron-ulla-fied :lol:
In fact even Cronulla is Cron-ulla-fied !

karma, hey?

 

[Bjorn Pork]

Like I said, and Paul Kent on nrl360, the new info seems to have co e from emails the abc has got on the nature of the Rort and that it wasn't an oversight of failing to lodge paperwork but a deliberate effort of cheating the cap by illegal payments.

According to Cullen on Triple M this morning:

"The one thing I want to emphasise... is the club never has and didn't exceed the salary cap limits with regards to dollar payments? but if you're going to have third party and marketing agreements they've got to be documented."

So we would have still been under the cap even accounting for these payments. And Cullen also reiterated that Ian Schubert has said that the matter is resolved.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Ha!

 

[carcharias]

The irony is these media outlets can just go ballistic with their reports.
They only need to put "according to" or " alleged" to cover their arses.

Then people have to supply a link in forums ( which is absolutely understandable ) to stories .
The catch is half the time the stories are bullshit anyway.
Look at what happened to Brett Stewart.
He was crucified .

Then the same bastards who report the stuff that brings a player or club down can turn around and report from the other side once the truth comes out.

I really don't know how any player could stomach talking to arses like weilder. rothfield or Massoud.

One thing I'll say about slothfield is that he must have massive balls to even walk into a Sharks home game these days.

In other words 'no I can't'.

Dumbass.

 

[Frailty]

The only reason I haven't knocked his lights out are because I want to be able to go to Remondis Stadium still.

I loath the man as well but if his stories are true (IF) about constantly nagging Irvine to get a proper CEO in to run the joint and Irvine had acted on his advice then Cronulla would not be in as much trouble as they are now.
