D day for Parramatta

[BM1979]

We will take Michael Gordon at the Dogs if it is a trade for Sam Perrett. We need a Goal Kicker

 

[thorson1987]

We will give you back Morgan for Gordon.

He will have to play wing or centre though

 

[wibble]

He's already been paid 6 months worth of it so that counts no matter what. They get rid of him now it only takes about 400k off the cap, if they got rid of him before the season like they were trying to do they would be under.

Do you know that it is going to work that way?

Doesn't really make sense to me, but maybe it's a way to really keep the Eels away from the finals without looking like that is what's happening.

 

[BM1979]

So considering there has been an injunction put in place regarding the directors does that mean they can't play for points until they are gone lol.

Correct, or until they have shown cause to the NRL that they can stay.

Why wouldn't it work that way? If they only cut $570k worth of players they will still breach the cap by $285k this year

 

[nick87]

To me, tis is just like a story I know... called The Puppy Who Lost His Way. The world was changing and the puppy was getting... bigger. So, you see, the puppy was like industry, in that they were both lost in the woods, and nobody, especially the little boy - society - knew where to find them. Except that the puppy... was a dog. But the industry, my friends, that was a revolution.

Strong words.

Poignant, confusing words

Rugby league just keeps shooting itself in the foot.

Let's just keep stripping points, premierships all sorts of things off teams.

Doesn't seem to happen much in other codes.

Just sack the administrators involved and heavily fine the club. Stop this stripping of points/premiership shit.

 

[Brutus]

Double post

 

[wibble]

Which is why they don't have any points despite 6 wins.

Why would it work that way? Their squad will be worse than the other squads if they have to cut $1 million of contracts to reduce payments for the rest of the year by $500k.

And it would be worse next year without buying more players.

As I said, maybe that is the NRLs intention. Does anyone have a quote or know how it will work?

Do you suggest they do to Parra what happened to Rangers in the SPL or Juventus in Serie A.

 

[Parralike]

Sharpe and co are a disgrace personally I don't want parra to play finals under these circumstances
Clear out the place and start again same as dogs and Melbourne it's the only way
This could be the best thing that's happened at parra let's get a real board

You need to get your ass out there and you find that f*cking dog!

 

[Nice Beaver]

Can't believe these 5 pricks are going to take this further.

Really shows their agenda and purpose - nothing to do with the good of the club and everything to do with self ego.

Politicians would be green with envy at their shameless self preservation.

Pathetic germs.

 

[THE CHAMP]

First if all I feel terrible for the parramatta fans.
This really must suck very badly.
I find the 12 points interesting.
The nrl could have gone for more if they wanted but didn't.
This still gives parra some chance ah the 8 which I really don't agree with but it's good for the competition.
You will need 11 wins at the very least but the f& a will help.
The next 5-6 rounds will be interesting.
Does anyone have the odds for parra top 8?

The lesson for struggling clubs out of the Canterbury and Storm fiascos is the lesson that Parramatta have put into practice - cheat to assemble the squad, be prepared to write off a year, but then you get to keep the ones you want and be successful moving forward.

This has happened precisely because the NRL let the Dogs and Storm cherry pick their illegal squads. It is a huge incentive for a struggling club to cheat. If Parra go on to be competitive or even win one in the next 3-4 years, the model will be proven again.

Either we have a centrally governed cap with transparency and no TPAs, or we have no cap. This horseshit compromise does nothing but punish the clubs who actually play it straight (who coincidently are clustered at the bottom of the table, bar parra). We are either a fair comp, or we are not. We need to stop pretending to be fair, while allowing dirty money to dictate results. Choose one, but admit what it is.

The NRL is a complete and utter amateur sham, and Geeenburg is up to his shiny head in it.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

They say he is on a small contract but who knows what it really is

its about $1.1M for 15,16,17,18

i think it was front loaded a bit,

But they have probably promised him 500,000 in tpas

thats why he is thinking of suing

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Cool story bro.

No one even picked us to be in the 8 before the season, now we're some super power team? Pulease.

On paper we're no where near those Cantrbury or Melbourne teams.

We just have a bunch of dopes running the club who have mismanaged the cap and overpayed Nuffies for the past few years.
