The NSW five-eighth's new Panthers contract reportedly involves a third-party deal with Keno, but the governing body is ready to toss it in the bin.

"James Maloney actually got himself in trouble there ... he came out the other day and said he's waiting on the club to organise a third-party deal to come through," Kent told Fox Sports' NRL 360.

"It can't be club-driven, it has to be player driven.

"Unfortunately he's let the cat out of the bag so the NRL is now looking at it.

"It's a $200,000 Keno sponsorship, and I daresay the NRL is about to knock it back.

"That would make it very interesting to see what happens there."

I guess Todd now has to impose penalties on Penrith for a tpa that didn’t happen but could have

Gus just responded" no, no, no ,noooo ,just NOOOOOOOO!"

Former chief executive Lyall Gorman, who is now at Manly, has also escaped reprimand with Weeks denying he had been given "immunity" in exchange for information about the seedy dealings of his former club. Gorman had no comment when contacted on Friday afternoon.

Well it wasnt lyall, lyall was just the coach.b
What I find amazing is that The Group CEO has escaped without any "punishment" whatsoever.
So all this went on without his knowledge????
When he had control of all the books???
Has there ever been a CEO, of any company, been left out of so many business decisions and know Nuzink about them?
Spare me.
No wonder people around the club are thinking he got immunity.
You'd think a hard hitting journo would be onto this...
The silence is deafening

Let's just blame Flanno for it all, that'll keep the dogs at bay.

All starting to sound a bit contrived to say the least, maybe adjusting the tin foil hat but it just reeks of bullshit. Plus the fact that we conveniently get a multi million sponsorship deal days after the NRL finalise the " reduced punishment for self reporting" Now it looks as though we could have been very naughty but didn't actually do anything except the initial 50k payment.

The lunatics have taken over the asylum.

So Todd comes out of this looking good.Barry comes out looking good.
The ex CEO is looking good.
Sharks fines are reduced to less than what it was going to be prior to the salary cap fines so in that regard we’re happy.
Sounds like everybody’s happy.
So what exactly was done and who was responsible for it?
Has anyone been named?
All that’s hitting my radar is the implication some ex officials are to blame for attempting to set up 3rd party agreements that may or not have happened over 5years.
Whens Kent back from holidays?
He hates us enough to let us know what’s going on.
Hopefully he can get to the bottom of it without the agenda of being his editors stooge.
Somebody has to be a Kent in all this to get some answers because there’s more questions then when it all started.
But everyone’s happy so let’s move on.

There is a book in this, the NRL has there scapegoat its Flanno, he will be responsible for everything went wrong.

Currently Flanno is deregistered lets say sometime throughout the year a club reaches out to him for advice on coaching or something in general. The NRL cant do anything to Flanno as he is outside the NRL, but what would they do to the club or the coach, or if its a player asking for advice.

I know it would depend on who contacted him, if Bennett invited him to the coaches box no issue, but if he was in Parra's coaching box, Eels would be probably be fined $1m

Reckon it's time to move on from this shit. Maybe we could get Bazza to present Greenburg with one of those oversize cheques for 850k next week when the 9 mill comes through. Upside of all this shit is we get to start with a clean slate and get to watch the next generation of Sharks ply their trade. All the while the centre of excellence. ..refurbished leagues club...hotel and stacks of facillities will slowly take shape.

Unlike some that escape implication, he’s still in the game.

In which case, he should be sanctioned!

Maybe another Sergeant Shultz Bellamy...I know nothing!

Here is a solution get rid of 3rd party payments
Impossible and probably illegal. Players should be able to earn whatever someone wants to give them. The NRL just needs to do their job better. Audit each team even more. Put someone in charge of a few clubs cap compliance so theres a crew looking at it all the time. Spend more money policing it.

Increase the salary cap, get rid of 3rd party payments as it seems it always the likes of the Roosters Broncos and Storm who have advantages over other teams....

Roosters were one of the sides with the least amount of registered TPAs in 2018, lower than us.

You cannot get rid of them.

I've heard from people in the biz that should know that lots of people would like TPAs to be completely transparent to all. One went a step further saying they should be pooled so all players and clubs can get a go at them. I've been convinced for years that it's the hidden nature of TPA that make the Roosters. I reckon their relationship with 9 who partly own the game is like having mummy run the school tuck shop. All the TPAs come from there and the revenue that generates them for 9 comes from all the NRL clubs. It's siphoning imho.

OK so what other schemes do the Roosters offer...

Free sombreros ,with everyone one of Uncle Nicks tacos.

Back on track ,any high profile player who is marketable ,should have no limit place on his TPAs, but it must be transparent.
Bearing in mind clubs still have to work under the salary cap, thus they cannot have a stacked deck of star players.

One thing I noticed and I am sorry if this has already been discussed is a name that has come up in both the third party stuff and back during the supplement debacle is this Luke Edmonds.

Surely he still can’t be at the club in any capacity ?
