Eels Salary Cap MK III

[Poupou Escobar]

He's right. The less you know, the easier it is to think you have all the answers. Morons think running the show is easy and the only thing stopping it is 'self interest'.

Not all the fans, just the members of the club. The ones who keep voting in blocs of dopes.

So they should all just donkey vote then??? Lets face it there has been no one worthy of voting for.

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.

Wonder is they got a call from someone suggesting they not rush it?

 

[parra-matters]

I guess the reason the club didn't try to rush Watmough's insurance was they thought they were $200k under the cap and there was no need to rush it for this year.

and maybe they wanted to see how his rehab went and if there was a chance he would make it back onto the paddock before hanging up the boots

Yes, so there was no rush.
But now there is.

The NRL seem very professional now that the board is fighting back, all the media leaks have ran dry.

funny that isn't it.

I can see the next headline, Denis Fitzgerald for NRL CEO as Greenberg resigns after botched Eels Salary cap investigation.

Maybe something as important as an NRL club shouldn't be in the hands of a couple of hundred Leagues Club members? Have you ever wondered why there's nobody worth voting for?

Yep. Mug punters shouldn't be deciding who runs one of the biggest clubs in Sydney.

Sack the members!!!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Should the members see fit to elect me, I promise to never keep a record of any dodgy shit. And if I were to ever attempt to funnel money to players, it wouldn't be by paying for goods that can easily be shown to not exist. Also, Fitzy is a merkin. That is all.

Good point.. Just do dodgy invoices for food... If someone comes looking for the 'extras' you can just say you ate it...

Sounds like the same logic behind the free Tingha vouchers for voting members...

Yeah. We did have a bunch of meat but would you believe it, the bloody freezer went on the blink. Such a waste.

Either that or services I guess, but I'm no expert.

Watching the footy show. The journos said the NRL have been embarrassed by the eels. Also said they believe the eels are only 200k over and Shubert will go to the NRL tomorrow and prove it. So Avenger seems on the money with a reduction. You can take 12 points away for 200k?
I would laugh if he NRL have bungled this up.

I'm hoping to be laughing all the way to the bank.

Kent on TripleM was frothing about this and said that the "softening" is becoming to look like there was a deal done.

I don't believe that for a second OTHER than respective legal teams having off the record meetings in chambers. Perhaps we have pointed out some errors at law that the NRL have not considered or did but thought we would not threaten them with ?

Unlike some who think we should just roll over, I am glad that we are exploring all avenues, even if we end up with no reduction.

Kent said that the GO5 seeking the extension from 5 to 28 days will only harm the club in the end by making the penalties even harsher, was transparent agenda dribble.

Interestingly, Gordon Tallis said that he thought that we are being harshly treated. He did not expand, but I assume he is talking from experience about how dodgy TPAs are throughout NRL land (which he has stated previously).

Kent you are an entertainer not a QC. It's your choice if f you want to be an entertaining journalist and report from both sides or be the kind of entertainer that works in a circus with red lip stick on while getting whipped by your supreme leader.

 

[parra-matters]

I didn't hear it but someone told me that Kent was carrying on about players getting paid cash money for the grounds and landscaping account or something? Did anyone hear it? What is it about.
