Eels Salary Cap Mk V

Its not about damage control,

do you want drones running the club with no passion or interest in the teams performance, instead of just balancing the books

its worked well for the other NRL teams with NRL appointed board hasn't it ?

Its not easy to get the right poeple but it can be done, not gonna be easy though

No I don't want drones running the club. That wasn't my point. My point was that nobody can do a worse job than the morons that we have in charge and who have destroyed our season due to mismanagement.

I really do hope we get the best of the best in the next board. Smart business savvy Parra people.

The NRL won't appoint those people.

I like how you keep thinking this is all just the current boards fault though.

Not all is lost for the infamous 'Parra 5'......they will find employment at the Commonwealth Bank.....they possess a unique 'skill set'.

So what evidence is there that Norman was handed cash under the table? Video footage? Or just disgruntled former employees?

Don't want an NRL appointed board. I did previously when there was no hope of anyone doing anything about the morons currently in charge. But now we have 3 different options hopefully the best option will take control.

Fantastic, a link to the Obeids...

Hoppa was signed during the Spags/Kearney years, and with Nolan allegedly giving out cash in car parks I suppose we probably shouldn't be surprised at this?

Who else thinks Nolan will fall on his sword and that there will be no further investigation into how he currently operates?

Wasn't letting Nolan go one of our worst decisions of the last decade? Well that's what his mates told us. Best in the business they said. We now know why.

Well he still is/was a better talent scout than what had previously.

And we didn't get busted until after he left... cue conspiracies

Why would the NRL leak information about people at other clubs?
it was an article trying to damage Parramatta

i'm talking about the Peats one. and it has to be leaked seeing they even had quotes from that Weeks guys diary

He was a paid employee, maybe he was just following instructions.
Or maybe that's how it was done elsewhere that he had worked.
Guess we will never know.

One of the statements form the original "Look at Tood" speech was that everyone in the NRL must speak up when they see something that breaches the code of conduct. To not do so is a breach of the code of conduct

This column first questioned the track record of Scott Seward when he left the Bulldogs and joined Parramatta.

We told you how when he was merchandising manager at the Bulldogs there had been $90,000 worth of Bulldogs merchandise that was not properly accounted for. The Nike gear was not in stock and it was not in sales. There was never a question of any criminal activity on his behalf, it was just stock that disappeared under his watch. It turns out a very high-ranking official at the club had questions to answer on that matter.

Then there was Seward's decision to employ his mother, Robin. And his sister Kelly. And his two cousins. And even more bizarre was the way his colleagues said he would deal with the takings from game-day merchandise sales. If there was a crowd of 40,000, the cash sales could be as high as $40,000. The conventional manner of handling that would be to take the cash and place it in the safe at Canterbury Leagues Club and count it on the first weekday after the game. But he apparently had the habit of taking it home and putting it under his bed for safe keeping.

Now his role in the Eel's current cap and third-party sponsor woes will be put under the microscope. The news that the investigation into Parramatta officials would include a forensic examination of computers was supposed to send shivers down the spine of the Parramatta directors. Instead they are overjoyed, because it will include an investigation of former employees, including Seward.

You'll remember that Seward was the chief executive who did a great job in signing Kieran Foran – but he included a clause that allowed him to leave the club and be paid close to a million dollars if there was any "drama" at the club. To say that there is angst surrounding Seward is an understatement.
