Eels Salary Cap MK II

[Stagger eel]

I didn't say we're innocent, I have said I don't think a 4 point penalty is a big deal... a view you eventually agreed with ;-).

Look at us... we both love the drama, don't we! A pair of old dyed-in-the-wool Eel fan drama queens, you and I. Drama llamas, if you will...

But as for dinner, I sadly have to pass up on the kind offer... Something more important than the AGM has come up on May 2nd - the Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur replay on Fox Sports .

The board should go if we're penalised half a point.. In this Como any loss of points is s big deal given to he closeness of the comp..

 

[Stagger eel]

Good luck Stagger, I reckon he probably puts out on the first date too

Nah! ... Suity told me he wore a chastity belt on their first date, the friendship went pear shape from there..

 

[phantom eel]

The board should go if we're penalised half a point..

Really? Even though this Board got rid of Seward? And even if any penalty stems from the mess the previous mob got us into, with their dud contracts and appointment of Ricky who left us paying contracts for guys at other clubs? :crazy:

And who are you going to replace them with?

Nah! ... Suity told me he wore a chastity belt on their first date, the friendship went pear shape from there..

He did seem upset I was saving myself for someone "special"...

 

[Stagger eel]

You mean the same board who hired Seward as CEO? ....

Yes... If we're penalized any points they should f**k off

 

[Kornstar]

Yes... If we're penalized any points they should f**k off

Agreed!

They should voluntarily f**k off!

Maybe he is good with his hands or mouth=P~

 

[Basil Brush]

I personally dont think the current board are the problem but it will all come out in the wash.

 

[ash411]

Yes... If we're penalized any points they should f**k off

So, if we don't lose any points, what will be the next excuse to get rid of the board?

Gonna wait for one of them to sneeze?

We need stability right now, getting rid of the board isn't going to accomplish that.

But yeah, sure, lets get rid of the board, and the next one too...

 

[Avenger]

Going forward, despite his heart being in the right place I do not think Sharp is the right person let alone the invisible man, Boulous. If ever there was a time a CEO with some strong leadership credentials was needed it is now and so far all we have seen is a cameo and continued reactionary gibber by another who is on $20k a year in a part time role. After this scandal whoever is the CEO should be the ONLY person talking to the media.

PS if we get any penalty the board should do the honorable thing and stand down. That goes without saying.

The disappointing thing with the last 6 weeks with the salary cap is that it could have been done and dusted last year. Weather the current board did dodgy tpa deals or not who knows but this should have sorted last year when they sanctioned us for salary cap breaches. The board should have done a thorough investigation themselves last year along with the nrl. All deals emails should have been gone through like a fine tooth comb.

We were never going to make the finals last year. And if we were found to be cheating we would have been punished back then. But instead know we have entered our premiership window for the 1st time in 5 or 6 years have a team that can challenge for the premiership but could be rubbed out by next week

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I'm a bit suspicious of this whole argument that we were free to disclose any dodgy stuff and no penalty would be applied. If that were the case, surely we'd have said "here's everything we've got, you've got free access to all our data, if you want to look for more," as we supposedly did afterwards.

 

[phantom eel]

I'm a bit suspicious of the "if the CEO/Board steps down, the NRL will deliver a smaller penalty" line of thought too....

Either we've breached the cap/rules or we haven't. Penalise us accordingly, but not relative to whether certain board members "choose" to resign. If any board members have done anything dodgy, they can be dealt with as Club directors by OLGA or something, not by the NRL!

Leave the governance changes to the process already in train as a result of the results of last year's review - the 100+ NRL recommended changes that our club is already implementing.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Yes. We're guilty or we're not. I'm not too worried about it though. I don't think the NRL wants to control clubs in that way. There's too much scrutiny. And it's just an extra hassle.

I think they'd far prefer clubs carry on their cheating ways but keep their f**king lips shut.

I've got mixed feelings when it comes to Sharp because I agree he has his heart in the right place and he genuinely wants the club to do well.

He put his balls on the line to appoint Brad Arthur over Jason Taylor. What a massive call that was, and the correct one.

He is definitely inexperienced and made some dud calls like the appointment of Seward which was a disaster though.

So you are on board with the NRL taking us over ? Cause apart from that we are talking about going back into the Shit fight that started in 2008.

well I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we wont lose half a point

why would anyone want an NRL appointed board?

every club they run is a basket case

 

[yy_cheng]

agree. I'd bet $2billion we wont lost 0.75 of a point either.

The NRL taking us over, or appointing an entire board would be a terrible result for any club, but at the same time, given all the shit fights we've had, I couldn't say that I wouldn't be against 1 NRL appointed board member sitting on our board, assuming it's one that brings some experience to the table

 

[Gary Gutful]

Im pretty sure that was Bubbles

He was f**king Koko on the side.
