Eels Salary Cap MK II

[IFR33K]

Don't worry, as has been the trend since 2009 a new board will be voted in when these guys are thrown out and they will sack BA and we'll start the rebuilding again.....what joy!

Yep, we are f**king cursed

 

[Bigfella]

The Webster article is clearly a push to pressure sharp
and Issa down.

The one thing we have to be strong about is that we contest what is properly defensible.

Some of these documents don't prove anything like the journalists are claiming. There may be more, but on their own and out of context, there is nothing that suggests that the loss of points is inevitable.

I also like the point that OMC made earlier today - why should there be substantial point savings for board members standing down? We either gained an unfair advantage and should be penalised or we didn't and shouldn't.

If Melb he skted because a few stooge directors resigned there would have been a riot.

His is now getting so extreme and ridiculous that I'm starting to think there's more smoke than fire. There can't possibly be anything justifying ten points.

The biggest risk imo is not that the documents say what some deadshit journo In the Tele with no corporate experience claims.

If we misled the nrl in the first round or covered anything up or smothered it there could be a problem. But if we did it's a f**k up and we have to wear it.

A good summary of the situation. I also think OMC has an excellent point. But geez it'd be nice to know that if we're going to miss the finals by a few points then all you need is a board member or two to fall on their sword.

Id be happy to throw ray price under his own bus too

 

[Gronk]

Paul Kent was talking like we'll play the entire season with no points.

Toovey goes "hold on has the NRL actually said that they are over the cap?"

Kent mumbles and grumbles. ..

Can the bus can run over Fitzy and Spagnolo's club memberships/eligibity to stand for election as well?

I watched that too.

It's like someone finally asked a question based on fact and not hysteria and hyperbole and Kent couldn't come up with an answer :lol:

I heard he lives under a bus these days?

Life has not been kind

Saw it too. Laughable. Not even a mention of how far over the cap we'd be, if all they allege is true, but he's happy to talk about us playing for no points. Dick.

 

[phantom eel]

Funny, in Kent's only first grade game of his career he played alongside Steve Sharp...

1989... now that was a squad!

 

[phantom eel]

Media speculation and rumblings aside, I'd really like the NRL to grow some balls during the courseof this "investigation".

After years of cowtowing to News Ltd, being pushed around by Ch 9 and Foxtel, 2GB etc etc... I'd love the NRL to come out and say something like "The days of the sport being run by the media are over. The only new evidence of any recent cap/TPA breach found was minor and of a technical nature. Therefore there is no points deduction penalty, and the Eels are fined $XX,XXX respresenting the amount of TPA that was incorrectly reported."

"Furthermore, the NRL is now joining the court action instigated by the Parramatta club against media organisations that chose to publish unverified, defamatory information that unfairly damaged the reputation of the game of rugby league and also served to bring the code into disrepute."

That might start to hasten the end of the ratbag element of sports "jounralism" that we are sadly left with today.

Good luck with that Phantom.

SPOTTED II

Former Eels CEO Denis Fitzgerald lamenting Parramatta’s salary cap dramas in the same corporate suite as current chairman Steve Sharp during Sunday’s match against Penrith at Pirtek Stadium.

NINE HAVE NO SAY ON EELS PUNISHMENT

CHANNEL 9 claim they would not interfere in any NRL decision imposing punishment for Parramatta. There have been suggestions Nine would be upset if the Eels were deducted 10 competition points - thus ruling Parramatta out of finals contention.

That, TV insiders say, would impact massively on Nine’s ratings. But Nine say the NRL will come up with an independent decision any penalty for salary cap breaches - and they won’t intervene.

 

[Gronk]

The Canberra Raiders are waiting to pounce on Eels prop Junior Paulo for a mid-season transfer if Parramatta are forced to offload players due to their salary cap issues.

[eels_fan]

One would think IF we had to shed players, Junior would be one of the last, we have over a dozen off contract at season's end

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

It pains my heart to say it but if we had to let someone go.... Sayonara Super Morgs? After all, he is amongst our most highly paid players.

 

[eel speel]

I watched that too.

Yes Kent is a gibbererr. But don't let fact get in the way of hysteria

 

[yy_cheng]

If we lose 10 points, then it is time to focus on those who will be here next year and to give them experience,
