Eels Salary Cap MK III

[hindy111]

As much as we want to blame the NRL. The NRL would of know prior to latest investigation about the TPA's in my opinion. They are not stupid. They know brisbane and cowboys and penrith and dogs and every other team are doing it. But hey its keeping guys like Inglis and Burgess in the game so they turn a blind eye. They just want to protect their product. And its about making $.
This is the last thing the NRL want to do but they have been forced to. What about all the other fans who are lead to believe that its an equal playing field. And 90% actually do believe it.
Blame the people inside our club that leaked the info. As much as i want to blame Kent and other grubby reporters they are just doing their own job and pushing their own agendas.

I am suprised the guys who have leaked the info have not dissapeared if you know what i mean.Never to be seen again

I thought she exhibited a person who was fed up with all the crap. I took time out to shake her hand at the conclusion of the meeting. Sure her emotions got the better of her but she said what a lot were thinking. Love her passion.
Unfortunately they dont check for idiots at the door. The vote counting issues created by some proved you dont need a brain to be a member.
Poor old Sharpy has his heart in the right place but goodness he needs better support. It must be realised that many just cannot grasp the wording in the motions and better explanation is most definitely required.
The on stage lawyer? He may be a bright boy but he comes across as being weak and almost apologetic. Definitely needs to be replaced by a hard arsed lawyer given the current environment. If hes involved if the TPA matter goes to court I shudder to think.
Fitzy? Well what can I say. The usual, "I could do a better job than you" attitude. In all honesty he stumbled and bumbled many times tonight. Hes loosing it. Time to organise some care for the old fella I reckon.
In conclusion. Tania. Gaz loves ya. Go girl.

I was there and I agree with a lot of this. If that is our Legal Counsel we are stuffed. Sharp disappointed me last night. Heart in the right place, but isn't smart enough to deal with DF nor the NRL.

I thought Tania Gadiel went to far and thought she was back in parliament (with parliamentary privilege).

The motion that got voted down (ex-employees can't stand the board for three years) only did so IMO because DF actually made a valid point about the wording of the motion. He said the motion should have stated that employees (including ex-players) of both the PLC and PNRL are ineligible for a period of 3 years. I think most in the room thought the motion was a good idea, but wasn't worded as well as it should have.

This is what bugs me. It was my first AGM, yet I could see the poorly worded motions, the farcical counting of votes, the childish behaviour etc. Sharp and co. really needed to lift their game last night to prove that they are up to it. They didn't do it IMO. That is what is keeping the supporters of other factions going.

Yes there were some nongs in the crowd who got up to talk, but many did make sense.

I think today will just be the beginning of a war that will become a long running saga that will continue for at least the remainder of the season.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

So what is everyone's opinion on how many points we need to lose for our season to be f**ked?

I reckon if we lost 8 we are still a decent chance to make the finals - leaves us on 4 points needing to win 10 of our last 15 ( assuming 28 is the cut off for 8th spot), even 10 would be possible, 11 from our last 15. Our current form is probably good enough to achieve this.

We have already played most of our "harder" matches, so run home is easier.

Gee it won't be easy but BA would give the boys half a chance. Anything more then 10 and we are f**ked!!

 

[TheMoneyBoxMan]

God im so pleased im not in the trenches with most of you merkins. Where is your bloody backbones? Lets wait and see what the punishment is before we go weak at the knees. All this speculation in the media is just made up shiite and you lot swallow it. If the punishment doesnt fit the crime then off to court we go. Its kinda funny that you all demand our team has fight and spirit and determination yet most of you roll over and take it up the rear when the going gets tough. Im gonna wait till it comes direct from the NRL THEN ill react.

 

[hindy111]

I told use on friday night we will lose atleast 12 but my guess is 14.

Anymore then 10 and we are screwed.

We won't be playing finals football. The "integrity" unit has leaked all along that we are f**ked.

We have done the wrong thing and will be punished accordingly imo.

It's not about believing the media for me, those f**kers don't know shit. For me it is that I truly believe we have been deceitful. It started back with 3P and the new guys went with it and that leads us to where we are.

 

[natheel]

I have a feeling they will knock us back to last place for now. So I can see 12 points gone

 

[parra-matters]

I'm hoping 8 with 4 suspended, but I'm thinking 12+

 

[Gazzamatta]

The clubs lawyer is already at the club with one or more board members.

I thought you would be there last night Georgie. Next time please wear your Indiana Jones hat so I can pick you out in the crowd. Could have used a voucher or two. Bummer.

 

[Captain BF]

Agree completely. If he's our lawyer or part of our legal counsel then it doesn't give me much confidence in the club fighting the NRL. Perhaps I've watched too many court based dramas and expect to see big boisterous lawyers not weaselly little blokes stuttering over words and phrases.

8 points would have us on the same amount of points as the Roosters, with a better for and against that any of the teams not currently in the Top 4. The Roosters are currently two wins out of the Top 8. The Roosters will make the Top 8.

The real question is, if the NRL thinks our punishment should be that we don't play in the Finals. If that's the case then they should just come out and say that.

 

[TheParraboy]

Im thinking they will strip of all the points we have so far, in a technicality sort of sense not actually say it is 12 points, so as have that level of action should another club be caught when "the investigation is over". Im thinking it has dragged on for this long till we got to 12 points as it may have been their goal all along. Wonder if the Parra of old was this year and we were sitting on 2 or 4 points what the punishment would look like?

I think it was Hindy on fox last night said (sensed) its not going to be as bad as everyone thought

I think and hope its 4 or 6 points only (obviously would want no points but a heavy fine and the culprits banned for life)

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

GAME DAY, motherf**kers!!!

FIRE UP!!!
