Manly suspected of salary cap breaches as scandal engulfs NRL
Nick McKenzie, Kate McClymont, Richard Baker

The integrity of the NRL is under a cloud with players from several clubs being investigated for taking secret benefits or cash payments in a likely breach of salary cap rules.

The Manly Sea Eagles are suspected of breaching the salary cap via secret payments to at least one player in previous seasons, according to information gathered by NSW police and NRL officials.

Lol after how badly the storm got f**ked by punishment in2010, I really thought it would scare the clubs to death from pulling this shit

Every club is audited twice a year

Forensically? The NRL audits sure worked well in finding out what Seward and co were up to....

If this is true (and it's just as likely to fizzle out as anything) the NRL needs to nut up and get serious.

Might be an opportunity for the knights to finally sign some players if all these cheating merkin clubs have to get below the cap. Happy days

Ha ha. We would be incompetent enough to be one od the parties that breached ffs!

The article doesn't really say anything!

The whole thing is full of unnamed sources who weren't supposed to disclose confidential interviews and whose disclosures are prohibited to be shared with the NRL. Hence nothing will ever actually be substantiated, or sanctioned.

The most interesting part of the whole article was one line at the end that concedes the match fixing investigation is a dead end. Which I'm sure has nothing to do with the basis of the report or any attempt to justify such an investigation.... nor is it a coincidence that it has come on the eve of an origin decider...

Sounds like they looked into odd payments suspecting match fixing/organised crime and might have found something else
