[Noise]

Update:

Our club is very confident of a reduction in penalty. Same source.

ANy indication on what part of the penalty? The points, the fine or the 5 merkins?

The points. Did we really care about the rest?

Hell no. Just wanted to make sure.

If the insurance on Watmough happened 2 weeks after his injury we would not even be talking about it.
The injury was done in February, he hasn't a game at all this season not even a trial.
But somehow other clubs think it is convenient?
Now that just tells me other clubs think we are a massive threat to their team either making the 8 or winning the premiership and want us out for the finals.

Insurance companies have their own processes and timing. There are not going to be swayed by Greenberg's made up deadlines or penalties or some some arbitrary calculations in some convoluted cap guidelines.

Thanks Avenger. Even a reduction to 8 points makes a massive difference to our year !!

Insurance companies have no idea. Made a claim once and they said it wasn't covered, 6 months later I get a call saying the cheque is in the mail.

Jimmy smith said on mmm he spoke to someone from the insurance company and was told that watmough had filed in the paperwork back in February and its been sitting there for 3 months.

So the club knew all along he was retiring?

And with the 3 months, is that due to neglect or waiting period? 3/6 months are common waiting periods of its relating to income protection

wtf is an insurance company employee doing giving out details on a patient's claim to the media? watmough should sue

Same source who said were only getting a small penalty one week and then all of our points the next?

Dibs, even those in the know can sometimes be wrong. This is a delicate situation, and avenger has been right 99% of the time.

f**k them, I want them too, I will turkey slap them.

for all we know the info might have been right at the time but due to the media witch hunt the nrl decided to go harder on the penalty so they wouldn't be called soft.......which they were anyway :lol:

 

[Ron Jeremy]

I think it is important that if the eels knew all along he was retiring ie feb, and there is proof, we really shouldn't cop any penalty as we have been compliment all along.

If the club knew, and then went out and obtained Jennings as a consequence to cover watmough then we should have all out points given back.

Plus more for Greenberg being bald/ex Bulldog.

 

[Avenger]

That's right. He got it right eventually.

I don't doubt avengers source being genuine but the point is next week his mail might be different therefore is irelevant. Also his source I assume is in the eels camp so probably doesn't know what the nrl are thinking. I also reckon 99% is an exaggeration lets say 80% just to be conservative

Well so did people in the media

Let's just stay negative then.

He doesn't have to share his info, nor is anyone making you read it.

 

[Dibs]

I'd say let's stay realistic. Or at least hope for the best but expect the worse.
