:lol: I just have to mention Hayne is a post, and people still froth at the mouth 18 months after he's gone....

General point stands though... players seeking to leave their contracts early should be paying us for that privilege, not the other way around (as seems to often be the case). Leaving a contract early heavily restricts the club's ability to have planned squad succession.

I still froth at the mouth if we get Tim Smith in his 2005 form back

there's more froth coming of Barts mouth than there is at a coffee festival whenever he or anyone else mentions spags name..

We don't know that it was necessarily dealt with in the original judgement against us. We know that some part of his payout was known last year, but not necessarily the later cash payments (if they actually occurred).

This article uses quotes from people deluxe, but I note that the wording "The NRL was told that he had agreed to receive a payment of $35,000" is not quoted anywhere. I'm guessing nowhere in this supposed email trail did anyone indicate that the NRL does not know about this or that it would be against NRL Salary Cap rules. The SMH journalist just thought they would infer it because without saying it then they have no article at all.

I like how they include the usual disclaimer about no player or manager doing anything wrong ... then go on about Beavis having a f**king hard time scoring payments for his client ... maybe he thought they were all good? :-k

I get the feeling that the papers legal departments have been telling the journo's to add that disclaimer, I think the conversation went something like this..

"Slander a club all you want, but make sure you don't infer that any individual did anything wrong, or they'll sue our asses off"

Raaaay just said that there was cocktail party on Sat hosted by Tranny & Caylo.

He said that a Director was telling pple that:-

1. Former merkins were paying the media $200k to leak and discredit the club. Raaaay said that the certain Director "needs to be put in a straight jacket".

2. The same Director was telling people that he had spoken to Greenburg and that so far they have only found a few infractions and that we are sweet. Raaay of course was spitting blood about this. Reckons that he spoke to Todd and that Todd's position is that the investigation is ongoing.

Didn't Raaaay mention the other day we were going to lose enough points to finish our season?

How could he know that if Toddy had told him the investigation was still ongoing.

He needs to remember his own BS.

I hope this turns out to be right.

I imagine everyone here does but I am far from confident mate. I think the best way to approach this week in the run to the decision is to hope for the best but expect the worst...and I expect the hammer to be dropped on us.

Have tried to keep away from this for the past week, figuring what will happen my opinion doesn't count

One thing that does seem to stick out is that all the leaks, emails etc seem to come from 2014 and before, and rather than being set out as a whole indication of the situation, they are printed 1 at a time to continue the clickbait

The Watmough TPA , again a minor indiscretion it seems from an arms length entity, is no a smoking gun in the big scheme of things

No doubt BF will come on with his usual comments, but this is being fanned by idiots like Raaay, Zorba and Webster ( not that's there's anything wrong with it).

The NRL have done themselves no favours in their response and look like they could be reacting to pressure from the media rather than looking at their audit results

Anyway, we will have to cop what comes, thanks to Sticky, Seward and others
