Eels Salary Cap Mk V

[Oscarman]

Well the media are the ones who help put Toddy there they were never going to ask the hard questions.

Don't want to lose their accreditation. I'm assuming like the AFL there is more accredited journos than players?

 

[Gronk]

I don't know if we have grounds to appeal (the decision or the severity of the punishment) but Todd is declaring his lack of independence by suggesting that going down the path of appeal we would not be making the correct decision for the club. Not what a CEO (aka the caretaker of the game partly owned by the Eels) should be saying.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I suppose we get a guarantee that foregoing our right to appeal and accepting the penalty will turn us into a powerhouse? And we all thought this was a bad day.

Just put Hadley on for lol value, and he just said he did an interview on Luke Grant's programme this morning on 2GB at 10.15 am, 15 minutes before the official announcement from the NRL.
What the f**k is going on there???????????????

You f**king serious? ... i made a joke about that at 10am - but i thought it was a joke cos ray numbnuts wasnt on air .... wtf?

 

[Kornstar]

I've been tweeting at Toddy for fun, hope I get blocked or something.

I'm not being rude or attacking just referencing Andrew Gee, the refs and their interest in only self reporting.

I'll keep going just to annoy him. I'll start at the NRL media one soon.

Ask him about seward - it will get you blocked in 2 seconds i bet

So we still don't know the final decision on next years TPAs ?

He didn't really give much detail, did he ?

 

[Twizzle]

The media are stupid.
I cannot believe not one of them mentioned Seward's name, and questioned his part in the scandal and also Greenburg's relationship with him.
Seward was the major player in all of this, yet no mention of any deregistration or him ever playing any role in any of this.
Did he get immunity because he was the whistle blower?

Sometimes just prior to the pressers they brief the media on what they can and can't ask, not saying it happened here but it does happen.

Greenberg seemed most pissed off that no one at the club would accept any responsibility for what happened yet Sewerd is teachers pet so no doubt gets off scot free. I never hard him mention that Sewerd was de-registered as well, looks like he is teflon coated for now.

 

[Gronk]

Toddy said on 2MMM that the points diff penalty was an afterthought by him. As much as he thinks that we should play semis if we can, he decided that our F&A should not bump off another team. So all points accrued up until Rnd9 were deducted. After that he said, we were cap compliant.

I wish someone had the balls to say that we were not cap compliant because the NRL lumped 2/3 years worth of TPAs on our 2016 cap.

Anyway moot point now (unless we appeal). Time to move on. Sign Jarryd. Re-sign Normz. Win the comp in 2017.

 

[Twizzle]

Agreed, I hope we dont appeal.

We f**ked up, admit it and move on whether we like it or not.

 

[Jake the snake]

Just want to thank the plumber again for a job well done. Thanks for all the premierships you promised. Now piss ya merkin!!

Chris Warren ‏@ChrisWarreNRL 2h2 hours ago
All reporting "season over" for @TheParraEels Is it? 12th, 6 points outside 8, AND importantly, 7th best +/- in @NRL #8morewins

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Agreed, I hope we dont appeal.

I hope we appeal if it sheds more light on what actually went on, particularly the Seward involvement and his relationship with Greenberg. I don't hold any hope of a reduction in penalty.

 

[Twizzle]

my concern with that is if we dont cop the punishment now, then we cop it next year, he never mentioned the TPAs in his presser this morning, still very curious to know whats the go with them for next year

If the TPA's were deemed illegal this year (and included in our cap) why would they suddenly be deemed legal in the following years (and not counted)?

 

[Twizzle]

why would they be deemed illegal in the first lace if some of them were legal ?

You wont get a logical answer, this the NRL we are talking about. The TPAs were one of the issues that I hoped would have been addressed this monring but they were not

Weren't they all deemed illegal (except Jennings NIKE deal)ie.not at arms length or guaranteed by the club? If the club objects to them being illegal then they need to appeal.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Everyone is worrying about our for/against. If we get into 8th spot our for / against will be fine as we would have won pretty much every game.
