Eels Salary Cap MK II

[The EELiminator]

Agreed, the NRL taking over has gone really well for the Tigs, Tits and Knights, right? Yeah, that sounds like a top idea.

but to be fair those clubs had issues long before the NRL took over

 

[Delboy]

Apart from the hysteria, how about a real deep NRL audit on th Thoroughbreds, the Roosters boosters, the Canterbury connection, the Townsville townhouses. Won't happen, but we have egotists willing to sell th club down the river to preserve their own place in what they see as the clubs history

As soon as the current mob started to distance themselves from prior influence, out came the stories and leaks. Just get it over with, but as my wife said again today, why are the fans and players being penalised when it's an issue with management.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Probably for the same reason the fans benefit when there's a wealthy, connected and united management. Why should the fans benefit from that?

They just do.

 

[Bigfella]

In what way Gronk?

And in what way were we on their level previously? No premiership in 30 years and repeated and unprecedented breaches of all caps? And facing loss of points he first year we assemble a competitive team?

The statement is completely loaded with unfounded assertions

Hysteria.

The word used to indicate an opinion that differs from yours but when you can't come up with an actual reason why the other opinion is invalid.

 

[Bigfella]

I think Delboy's wife's point should be taken further.

Why do we fan's get punished when some merkin player misses a tackle and the opposition scores a try.

No points for anything! Ban points!

What i do not understand...
So one company paid watmough but they where owned by another company who has dealings with Parra?
But Parra are not meant to know about the 3rd parties? So how where we to know about what companies where paying who and why is it our job to get involved in the deal

The answer is a pumpkin Hindy.
This is why I remain positive until the whole matter is played out.
Every other media massive over reaction has concluded favourably regardless of the emotion shown by some.
We have a great coach. Have had great recruitment. Successfully shed those that were bleeding the club dry. A great team. Great depth. Great training facilities. A new stadium on the way and many other fantastic initiatives in the pipeline. Its hard to argue negatives against all those positives. Some people are either very hard to please of just like being negative. Lets just wait and see.
Go The Mighty Eels.

A club is not meant to arrange or guarantee any TPA. They are allowed to "know" about them. In fact they are meant to actually sight the details in a TPA submission provided by the player manager and a club representative is meant to sign off a Stat Dec (or some equivalent kind of document) that says to the effect "that no relationship exists between the TPA provider and the club." The club then has responsibility to send the TPA form to the NRL for ratification.

As I understand it, in the case of Watmough he was offered a TPA by a company called ScoreCube Pty Ltd to promote their ScoreCub App (promoted as "the ultimate sports score and statistic app!"). The problem is that ScoreCube is owned by a company called BlackCitrus Pty Ltd. BlackCitrus are a technology developer and a venture capital firm with Steven Moss (son of Bill) as the CEO.

BlackCitrus were/are the company that Parra contracted to develop a mobile phone app called Player Management Platform and in fact the Player Management Platform is proudly displayed on the BlackCitrus website with a big Parra Eels logo and a link to the clubs site - 2 images away from the ScoreCube one.

So this issue the NRL has is why did the club sign-off that there was no link between the TPA provider (ScoreCube) and one of its suppliers (Black Citrus) when in fact there is. Their take is that whomever signed the form on behalf of the club lied in doing so in order to not have Watmough's TPA included in the Salary Cap.

And not everyone is being negative on the club with our concerns Gazza. Some of us are however being realists and making sure we are as prepared as we can be to not have the baby thrown out with the bath water - even if the baby needs a stinking nappy changed.

 

[Parraren]

Yep, clear as mud

 

[emjaycee]

Yep, clear as mud

LOL, simple version.

1. Google "Scorecube"
2. Look at 3rd Google Link (ScoreCube - BlackCitrus)
www.blackcitrus.com.au/portfolio-our-work/scorecube
3. Click on link and scroll down
4. View Parra Eels logo
5. Sign Stat Dec stating NO relationship.

= Salary Cap breach

Well, didn't expect anything different from your usual comment

When someone has an opinion or thought that is not 100% in agreement with you, out come the insults

Any reason why you are so nasty, are you Sevenheads?

Not insulted in the slightest. As a matter of fact I acknowledge passionate supporters. I have no agenda. I just love my club which is improving massively. If this is what people believe are the facts thats fine. Id just prefer to wait till everything is settled. As I said, most of the dramas prove that they wernt. Maybe Im just a lay back kinda guy.
Go The Mighty Eels.

Mate you point out where the insult was in either lost and I will unreservedly apologise.

I'm not going to sit by and listen to people just blindly excuse the current admin for some massive and repeated f**kups. Especially if we do lose pointss.

I don't have a problem in the world with different opinions.

I have a massive problem with people who don't look at the facts and base their opinions on those.

You just excuse the current admin every time and the points you are making are just justifications and they don't even make sense.

It's got to the point now where people are blindly supporting these blokes on the basis that they hate the others.

It's still factionism, just in reverse. Ironically most people justify the apologies in the name of preventing factions.

But people have to be accountable. And there have been massive f**kups, and repeated ones.

There's no doubt massive improvements have been made, but the loss of points has been massively preventable. If they lose the points merkins have to go.

 

[Gazzamatta]

And if our club does not loose points?

 

[IFR33K]

We've already lost them. The media has told us.

f**k you merkin. I made excuses for the old faction as well. How can you fairly judge our management when there are so many merkins trying to undo them?

 

[Bigfella]

Are there?

More merkins trying to excuse anything they do to my eye at the moment.

They've been on notice of the suspended four points for a long f**king time mate.

It's not Fitzgerald, it's not Spagnolo, it's not the Three Amigos, and it's not the Bogeyman or the Easter Bunny who will be responsible if they lose them.
