meh, the rest of the league and the daily telegraph got what they wanted. if we weren't always self destructing what they write about?
our season is over and to be fair we shouldn't be allowed to accrue points this season. we have put together a squad using dodgy TPA tactics, whether we remove $570k from our cap or not.
we will be forced to remove some players (Watmough) and others may be interested in leaving immediately or taking up clauses in contracts (Paulo, Foran come to mind). Norman is off contract and on fire, a club like the roosters are becoming more and more likely o pick him up. It will probably be another 3-4 years before we put together a squad somewhere near this caliber under legal circumstances. Which is really what we deserve. we deserve to have our team and our administrators ripped apart and made to start from fresh. the only potential reason this wouldn't happen is because the group is really tight. that will be tested over the next 15 games.
i mean, i was just about numb when i read the nrl statement of our punishments, but really i don't feel anymore embarrassed, disgusted or saddened than what i was back in 2012, 2013.
