Eels Salary Cap Mk V

[I'm a loser baby...]

Because the decision to retire wasn't made until later into the season. As far as the NRL are concerned he was still training and aiming for a comeback until the call was made that it's over. If his career was deemed over and he retired in January then we would have had more of his money excluded (though not all of it as January is still about 3 months into the NRL year).

Because Todd basically made up the rules in order to tailor-make a punishment to suit himself.

This is essentially true yet most people now seem to be willing to let it slip.

Normal, real-world rules would have seen Watmough's payout backdated to the time of injury. Nope, not allowed to happen. Bye bye, Peatsy.

Toddy oversees the investigation that revolves around his old mate, who he gave a reference for, and who he gave advice on TPAs to, and the dodgy TPAs that this mate did.

Toddy then brings in the government as soon as there's a whiff of an independent appeal that he will have no control over.

Everything's alright, though. Totally above board.

 

[El Diablo]

the bald bearded f**k is just as bad

And I'm sure we never got the transcript. Who was left to demand it? And plenty of people don't care, they just want the pain to end.

It just shows that if you keep punishing a group they will eventually turn on themselves if you promise them a lollipop for doing as you require.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Make us not play for points next year as well. We f**ken deserve it.

 

[Mickyd39]

Don't worry boys and girls, They arn't done with us yet.

More in there about Foran, but I couldn't be bothered

So Parra are playing by the NRL's rules around medical retired players but somehow Kent is implying we're still being dodgy.

The NRL told Kent that medical retired players don't count towards the cap, what doesn't he understand about that?

The bloke is a merkin of the highest order.

 

[Gary Gutful]

A merkin with an axe to grind.

He is so blinded by hatred that he isn't even thinking straight.

 

[Happy MEel]

That is an absolutely nothing article and even states we have done everything by the book in regards to Watmough's payout.

 

[Gronk]

f**k me I hope we sign a gun 6 or 7 for next year, French evolves into a Churchill / Thornett / Irvine clone and we win the comp, just to watch Paul Kent go into melt down.

 

[Twizzle]

The NRL said it would be putting its clubs under the microscope so they could avoid similar situations in the future.

Told you mate he needs shooting, they'd do it to a horse that was as lame as Kent.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Shooting is a bit extreme. I would just be happy if the made him report on science or politics rather than sport.

That's harsher than being shot, you really are a nasty piece of work Gary.

The Tekecrap are always looking for an angle to put the Eels in the headline.


NRL Fans Survey: Did the NRL get the Eels’ punshiment correct?

PARRAMATTA have long been regarded as one of rugby league’s best nurseries, but this is getting ridiculous.

If Eels fans are already hurting over the season from hell, what about having to now watch no fewer than seven recently-departed players try and win a competition with rival clubs.

That’s the astonishing number of players who have worn the blue and gold in the past two years, only to chase their September dreams elsewhere.

Salary cap breaches forced the Eels to offload the likes of Nathan Peats and Junior Paulo. Did the NRL get the club’s punishment correct? Tell us what you think by taking the 2016 NRL FANS SURVEY

OK, now how about you mention how many players from other clubs in the past 2 years are wearing different jerseys now... just quickly, that was aimed at the tabloid writer, not Gronk...

 

[Oscarman]

Survey is a joke - Jesse Bromwich an option for best player in the game? Should be 'they all suck' option for the question of who you would cheer for in the GF if your team isn't there.

A mate up here EELS supporter before the 80"s Went to all the GF's even kept his flags from said GF's , told me last week he;d given up the EELS and now supports the Tigers. I seen him today and told him he was the curse of the EELS , since he started supporting the Tigers and Tedesco breaks his jaw...........He was not amused

PARRAMATTA’s new look management team have had their first victory by ensuring Kieran Foran’s $150,000 severance package is not included in the club’s salary cap for next season in what is a first for the game.

Eels officials met with the NRL last week to finalise the club’s salary cap position heading into next season.

The Eels will have Foran’s payout excluded from the salary cap meaning the club now has about $1 million to splash on players next year.

The Eels are on the lookout for a replacement for Foran and also a hooker following the mid-season departure of Nathan Peats.

It comes as NRL club’s approved a rule which allows the integrity unit to exclude payouts from the salary cap where for conduct and behaviour issues it is in the best interests of the game for a player to leave a club.

The Eels will become the first club to successfully argue to have a players pay out not included in the cap.

It is understood the NRL excluded Foran’s payout from the salary cap because it felt he needed time out of the game to sort out his conduct issues with occurred in the final months before his departure last month.

Instead of terminating Foran for breaching his contract, the Eels decided to pay him a portion of the deal to ensure their troubled ex-skipper would move on.

The rule is designed not for players who should stay in the game but for those who need to more elsewhere for their own wellbeing and for the best interests of the game.

Meanwhile, the Eels are pressing ahead in their search to fill the vacant chief executive and head of commercial roles.

It is understood interviews for these positions will start this week.

So Foran must have really pissed Brad Arthur off, then?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Cool. Paul Kent's gonna love that.
