lol if anyone thinks they have any clue as to the salary cap position of any side, they are a bit of a muppet tbh

I love how people are saying we're cheating the cap, anyone seen the moves Manly made for next season? They've upgraded like 10 positions whilst being able to keep the $10m wonder child DCE. Amazing salary cap management!

Notable losses: Foran, Ballin, Hiku
Notable gains: Myles, Brown, Walker, Taupau, Lussick, Koroisau

Let's compare that to the Broncos off-season

Notable losses: Hodges, Dodds, Vidot
Notable gains: Roberts

Wow wtf!!!!!! Cheaters!!!!!!

Whats your point? People have whinged plenty about Manly as well.

Because it's more conceivable that Manly could actually manoeuvre those guys in. They had a dead set shit team this year, it wouldn't surprise me if they weren't spending the full cap in 2015.

There's always been plenty of 'Armchair Auditors' around these parts. What's appalling is how many idiots believe them.

Next year they are paying all of Boyd and blairs contracts, which were Subsidised by their previous clubs in 2015. So these guys are virtually new signings too

It's ok guys the NRL have previously shown how hard they come down on the Broncos when things don't add up with their salary cap

Can't blame the Donkeys, they're working with what's available to them and its all legal because of the NRLs f**k up with TPAs. And if Burgess is only $500k on the cap, whats Roberts worth? $100-150k?

I saw Andrew Gee at Red Hill today.

He was sporting a dali mustache, a big purple trenchcoat, big red gloves a stripey hat.

Why do so many idiots around here think one fan represents all fans? It's mind-numbingly stupid, yet they think they've uncovered some great hypocrisy when one fan of a team says one thing and another says something that contradicts them.

Moronic isn't it?

Absolutely

I dont think the broncos are cheating. The rules are there to be gamed. Its just a bit depressing to support a club that is handicapped by the current rules

Absolutely. This isn't a problem with the Broncos, it's not a problem with Souths and it's not a problem with the Bulldogs. They're doing exactly what they should be doing - leveraging everything they can that the NRL will allow them to build the best rosters they can.

I've got zero sour grapes against these 4 or 5 rich clubs directly (although I'm honest enough to admit I'm jelly), but I do have a problem with the NRL sitting back telling everyone the cap is there to level the playing field and spread the talent, when every year that intention is proven more shambolic.

Either we're trying to run an "even" comp, which you can debate the merit of completely separately too... or we're not. Either clubs are allowed to include third party agreements in negotiations, or they're not.

I love all the holier-than-thou Broncos twats lolling it up, too. Already forgotten what it's like to be "just another club" in the comp. As much as I miss watching your team splutter around like the rest of us, it's amusing watching you all think you've got 20 inch c**ks now that you're back where you're comfortable. Smug-on, ya dickheads.
