D day for Parramatta

[El Diablo]

So not only have they cheated for last few years but had a plan to keep cheating for the next three! Wow, it looks even worse than the Storm rort.

so you think the Storm were suddenly going to stop if they hadn't been caught?

Nope, the NRL in all its wisdom have said that all Eels TPAs, whether legitimate or illegitimate, will be counted against their salary cap.

Most likely most of these TPAs were legitimate because the only illegitimate TPAs were on Sewards watch. You know, the same guy who got advice from Greenberg how to use TPAs.

What a load of crap.

The undeclared TPA's have been counted in the cap and rightly so. Show me where the NRL has counted above board TPA's in the cap.

Parra fans... always playing the victim.

I'm not aware of the NRL finding evidence of more speedboats on the way?

The Storm cheating was also to keep a squad they had pretty much developed. Eels cheated to outbid other clubs for established big name signings like Watmough, Foran, Scott and Jennings.

Cheating is wrong regardless. But the Eels were the bigger cheats for mine.

Quick question which I'm sure can be easily answered. Media here in NZ have not really reported this clearly, but I thought the Eels lost competition points. All the current tables show them without having any points stripped.

What's the story there?

It was preliminary punishment.

The eels then had until 2 weeks ago to reply to the breach notice. (The NRL then allowed an extra week up until last friday).

After the Eels had replied to the breach notice the NRL then has 10 days to hand down its final findings.

So will be mid next week where they lose their points more than likely.

 

[Card Shark]

Wouldn't be surprised if they lose them today.

Deadline for reply was Friday & I'd say the NRL were just waiting for it to pass.

Can't see the Eels coming up with any reasonable excuse for their actions.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Reports in today's Telegraph that Geoff Gerard has called for all the Directors of the football club to stand down so that the Eels can elect a new board and start re-building.

Problem with that is that, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, one of the Directors effected by the breach notice has vowed to fight on to clear his name.

Thanks for that. NZ web sites just give us All Blacks and negative Warrriors stories. All the Oz newsites have pay screens and I'm too tight to pay.

Notice the media still getting plenty of mileage out of this. Don't expect the decision any time soon. We know who is really running the game (and everything else on the planet)

Decision will be made within 10 days after parra replied to the breach notice which they did last Friday.

Im predicting it'll be Monday. Gives it just 2 days in the media before the Origin shadow drowns it out.

Knowing NRL on day of Origin to take away the positive stories!

whatever day it is you'll whinge

1 day we will all wake up & the points will be gone.

The level of schadenfreude in any team cheating the cap in a post 22/4/10 world would be high but even higher than usual considering it is the team that had the audacity to do exactly the same thing Storm did after crying foul about Melbourne cheating.

Uh?
