Five NRL clubs fined for salary cap breaches

[sarahk]

lol Moffo, its for 2008.

 

[stormbati]

Lol, Simo you really get them going mate.

 

[Mark Rudd]

dogs should be declared winners of the 2009 premiership

Hehe.

 

[Eels Dude]

There's a difference between slightly going over the cap due to bonuses etc, than deliberately rorting it for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

 

[Doug2234]

pppffttts @ Eels $25,000...

Whinge Melbourne whinge all you want... it is still less for the entire team then the 30k boat Inglis was given.....

 

[Y2Eel]

lol.. lot of Parra ppl so quick to defend anything.. even when they breach the cap.

Defend it where? :?

 

[effnic]

Well well well still no Manly have never been fined not even $1

 

[Eels Dude]

We don't know how much the breaches are though.
And do any of you guys think clubs could deliberately breach the cap to divert attention away from other "breaches" ? I mean the Storm were still getting fines for breaches even still while everything scandalous was going on.

Breaches like this are often due to clubs being forced to pay out match payments, bonuses for players playing a certain amount of games, and unexpected rep player bonuses.

Parra's was probably for Fui's birthday cake....must have been one awesome cake!

 

[BeeeeeRad]

the raiders one might be because of skeepe complaining about the refs and wanting finch sacked

That would exlain why the Dragons have such a high one, with all the sh*t you talk around here.

 

[user_nat]

vertically or horizontally?

Hahaha, I blame the iPad auto correct.

 

[adamkungl]

I agree with whoever said it earlier... this is a disgrace, Roosters should be stripped of their 2009 achievements. f**king cheats... :lol:

 

[Lambretta]

I wonder how large the breaches were?

Bondi Beach is about 2km long..... oh hold on you said breaches.
My mistake.

 

[Penance]

The Storm are cheating scumbags. Kick em out of the comp

Parramatta are no different to the Storm. No different to the Storm.
as i said elsewhere..
A guy driving at 110 in a 100 zone is breakin the law as much as a guy driving 150 in a 100 zone.

:lol::lol:

Yes, but by comparison The Storm hijacked a bus full of passengers, ran over 200 pedestrians, 20 coppers, drove over a cliff and smashed the main artery of the Bassgas pipeline.

 

[morri (cWo)]

some teams just like being in the headlines i think

 

[StormChaser]

Bahahaha! Cheats! Sack them all, kick them out of the comp, strip their points, make em play for nothing, the sky is falling, the f**king sky is faaaaaaaaallllling.




Idiots.

 

[Loudstrat]

I think the fines are usually double the cap breach if I remember correctly, but in Melbourne's case the fine would have been equal the the US gdp. Still, nice attempt at grasping at straws Simotwat.

I guess if Hitler was captured alive you'd have him up for illegally entering Poland, France, Austria, Russia etc without a valid passport.

At the risk of bringing some sense to the 'debate', the breaches would have been of a technical nature and not cheating. Nowhere near the systematic 'two books' cheating of the Melbourne Storm that ran into the million+ area and will stuff up the game for some time to come.

It seems that everytime a team does well now, there'll be anti-league types casting suspicion, and unfortunately it'll be a few Canterbury or Melbourne supporters fanning the flames.
