Eels Salary Cap MK II

[Gary Gutful]

I wouldn't read too much into the lack of mention of losing points.

In the first set of interviews there was a suspended 4 point penalty hanging over us, so it was natural to comment on that issue.

With respect to the 'new' issues, there's no suspended 4 point penalty....the outcome could range from a congratulatory letter and set of steak knives to expulsion from the competition.

Bullshit Speedwagon, we aren't getting any getting any congratulatory letters or steak knives.

...and if we did they would just be used by one faction to knife another one.

OK, there might not be steak knives. Maybe some crab shell crackers.

BTW, I was in Brisbane the other day, and I didn't see anyone who looked anything like the blokes in your avatar.

1. What is it that we have supposedly done?

Overspent on the cap and not arranged TPAs in accordance with the NRL's rules. You know, that thing that we have been fined for the last few years and seemingly ignored?

At this point, I would like to return to point No.1.
What is it that we have supposedly done?

Um. Overspent on the cap and hit arranged TPAs in accordance with the NRL's rules.

I've seen nothing in the media of anything, substantiated or factual.

So the pieces of evidence that were kindly leaked to the media aren't substantiated or factual? Please. Granted, it is a shit way for it to be reported, but how more obvious does it need to be?

Yes, we have had infractions in the past, and we have previously been penalised for those infractions, and are also, currently on a suspended sentence of a further 4 point loss of competition points for any further infraction.

OK, so that might have something to do with what we have "supposedly done".

I'm currently confused as to why there has been such an uproar in ALL forms of the media when it hasn't clearly been spelt out at all what the actual problems are.

You shouldn't be confused. You just previously hinted at what our problems might be.

This whole joke of the current situation has been the most appalling anti Eels media campaign I've ever seen. If this is the way one of the three primary media advocates of our game wants to treat one of its major assets, the game can get f**ked.

You have already hinted at the fact that we haven't been kosher and have had "infractions". If we focus on sorting out our club and stop "infracting" then I can guarantee the "anti Eel campaign" will cease.

They had taken their snapper rod to a special fishing spot on the Brisbane River.

I was on the river at Graceville (who f**king named that suburb?) and I still didn't see you.

That's a bit scary, I live in Chelmer.

I saw a dodgy looking merkin at Honour Espresso the other morning. Maybe it that was you?

Nah, I did have a nice coffee in at a place at UQ though.

 

[Parralike]

What I will be angry about is if this team is over the cap!

Cheers.

It's all starting to make sense now.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Anytime.

LU - Bringing merkins together, one merkin at a time.

Where's your sources that say the NRL believes that we've overspent on the cap (outside of TPAs) above and beyond what we've already been punished for???

The Club needs to start to set its own agenda, rather than let the agenda be set by others.

Is that the NRL leaking or just the Mole (telegraph) talking more shit.

What does that have to do with NRL ? Or leaks?

 

[phantom eel]

Strong statement by Sharp/the Club.

No mdia outlet will give it the airtime it deserves though, they're just speculating to keep up the daily clicks.

Would love this investigation to drag on, and the NRL to come out at the end and say... there's hardly anything to penalise, some new shit about the older days (past administrations), but we already covered those days in our previous investigation. Some new shit about Watmough's TPA, but he's retired. So we've added 5 new governance requirements the club needs to meet, and fined them $250. But there's no points deduction, and the Telegraph and Herald sports "journos" can go and get f**ked.

I tell you what. If we don't get stripped of any competition points, I'll buy you a frozen Coke.

So you've got none in other words. Thanks scoop.
