Eels Salary Cap Mk V

[greena]

The TPA situation for 2017 needs clarification

From memory Watmough, Foran & Norman's TPA's made up most of the 500k. So now that Watmough has retired, Foran released and Norman's current contract ending logic would say that they have no impact on next years salary cap. What justification would the NRL have for including TPA's of those players in next years cap. They can't make it up.

Fox Sports ticker during the presser had "Parramatta go from 4th to 14th"
Lazy pricks, its 4th to 12th cause we still have a better F/A then Bunnies and Manly.

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?

Yes.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

We'll be 14th at the end of the round as manly and rabbits get bye points. And if penruff win we'll be 8 points out of the 8.

If the NRL can say if you take the punishment and not protest it you can start with a clean slate next season then we could just leave it but these morons on the board I think think everything they did Is fine and will push harder and the ref calls next year will worse and every 3rd party deal we have will somehow be linked to the club for the next 5 years.
Cop it on the chin, new board and move on.

Absolutely, we should move on, still they have a point in that Sewards untested testimony was accepted without any comment or comeback from the club, and he appears to have escaped sanction.

Difficult to see it going anywhere , unless the media start to investigate the links between Greenberg and Seward, even the comments on the tape from the board meeting,"this is how the Broncos do it" seems to have gone through to the keeper without comment of follow up from the investigative media . Then again they are part of the power trio that got Greenturdj the job

The points differential thing I am fine with. Well, not really, but I see it as in line with removing the competition points. Nothing from the first 9 rounds, or whatever, should count, in order to be consistent.

But as has been said already, there's a lot of fishiness going on, here. A lot of things not said, and possibly deliberately avoided.

We should definitely go through to the Appeals Committee. If there is any true independence there, then there will be no harm in it. Any penalty reduction will significantly increase our chances of making the finals this year. I do not see any loss from taking the next step.

Can we argue that other teams do it then supene the Broncs et al and under oath that they are not doing something similar?

Expect the @TheParraEels to appeal the decision through the game's appeals tribunal. Current board are not ready to let the matter rest.

Interesting thought, just watched the decision as hands down by Greenberg. The major inference is that if the board had worked with th NRL rather than continued action, there would have been a smaller fine and more consideration to the overall punishment

So, even if they felt there was a case they could pursue, if they had cooperated from the outset, would they have been able to comment on issues once the final verdict was hand down

That would possibly have meant an earlier comment from the GO5 and more understanding from the fans and league community. They certainly seem to be losing significant support by not standing down and letting the club move forward

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.

I watched the first press conference Greenburg did when the initial penalty came down and a journo asked him if we would lose our for and against and he basically treated the journo as an idiot dismissing it as a bad idea. Yet now he has taken them must have really been pissed when he was asked that he didn't think of it first

But some of the perry masons on here read law.com and encouraged and supported the 5 idiots to take on the NRL.

Law.com lol

Now I want the club to come out and state their case. Without fear of the NRL or the Papers or Scott Sewards confidentiality agreement, Then we can more on.

I honestly feel really sorry for the Broncos having half their f**king first grade side in the ANZAC test. I sincerely hope that all this bullshit about Semi heading there is just that, as I'm not sure they'd be able to cope with any more rep players in their side.

So the NRL basically said had we been honest we would of faced a lesser penalty???

How did that help the Warriors? When they self reported they were over the cap they copped a 4 point deduction and 500k fine. Yet the Broncos played dumb about the missing 300k and copped a sweet f**k all penalty.
