Eels Salary Cap MK III

[hindy111]

He probably didn't get the memo from DA...

By the way, does anyone know where DA is??

Went on holidays i heard - It was pre booked

Agree, inflating service contracts so that those contractors play players is as dodgy as what Storm or Dogs did.

Yep.

 

[hindy111]

I've never felt like this before...

It's a surreal feeling

We knew it was coming so meh

Greenberg just said that the NRL must dock all points accrued whilst the team were over the cap.

IF ONLY they held this presser 4 weeks ago we would have only been docked 6 points.

Yep. That's why I'm asking why did it take so long. They even announced before the Bulldogs game, the announcement will be held on Tuesday. Looks as thou the NRL used us for ratings and profit by delaying the decision.

Only way out is to appeal the penalty, using the delaymemt in the watmough saga as reason being we're over the cap.

 

[Gronk]

Shedding players will be hard. No club will pay market value for our player (unless there is a bidding war). So likely we'll need to find buyers and sell players at a discount.

 

[Glenn]

Yeh, that's pretty much the same as saying increase the cap.....so you may as well just do that.

And....the rules say the club can't 'negotiate' the TPAs.

Maybe we need to ask Foz, how his TPA at Manly was handled. ;-)

Agree, inflating service contracts so that those contractors play players is as dodgy as what Storm or Dogs did.

Yeh, we can argue about 'degrees of association' between the club and TP provider.....but channelling of club cash to the player through any entity is going to be a ball-tearer.

We should take them to parklea markets

If what they are reporting is true - then we are as bad as the cheating storm merkins - that makes me very sad and disappointed. The bloody board infighting and factions will be the end of this club... shattered for BA and the players as well.

Ok so the question is...

Where do we go from here.

Sharp and the board are gone, that's a foregone conclusion, no matter what happens in regards to an appeal, they definitely won't be exonerated, that's for sure.

So who now does the responsibility fall to to get us under the cap and get our season back on track?

Whoever they are, they need to roll up their sleeves and get to work, today.

Does anyone know where we go from here?

It may be dodgy, but our players wouldn't have known. Not like the other clubs u mentioned.

And Jennings.

Presser. I'm watching it on Foxtel GO.

EDIT: -

Conspiring with club suppliers to inflate or issue fictitious invoices to raise cash that was then relayed to players

I wonder what the chance is of a challenge to the salary cap itself? Not saying I would support that.

Forward.

Roll up the sleeves and get on with the grit shown so far this season.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

So if we cut 570k from this year's roster, then we're under the yearly salary cap? So we get our points back?

 

[woddy]

Shell shocked ....I need a beer . Will always support the Mighty Blue and Gold ,f%^k the idiots who run this club into the ground year after year . GO PARRA forever .

- Paying players undisclosed remuneration from its own resources

- Procuring third party agreements for players in breach of the salary cap rules
