Mark Gasnier to retire...

[Fingerbang]

Players can play for less then their market value IF THEY CHOOSE TOO. The storm players obviously didnt want to take pay cuts you idiot.

Especially seeing they had already lost one whole secret weekly paycheck. And possibly even their boats.

One of my fav pastimes is making bhp out to be the dumbest piece of shit alive, but he is doesn't need anyone proving that to be true. He does a much better job on his own.

Did you even read that article, idiot? Seems like it was part of the punishment for their years of cheating.

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

So can players play for less than their market value IF THEY CHOOSE TO :lol: If that was true fatty Inglis would've signed with Souffs for a year and then went back

Haven't read the last few pages but just wanted to quote this. You really are a douche. No f**ken idea.

Wrong uni :lol:

i found it

Clown Enema University

[Fingerbang]

And then there are players being paid 3 or 4 times their worth.....*cough* Mitchell Pearce *cough*

 

[sting]

How about you fk off mate. If players could play for unders then the Storm would've kept all their players including Inglis. so how about you stfu and look at things objectively dumbass

You're so f**king thick. they weren't allowed to stay for less because they had been cheating and rorting so blatantly.

What the f**k does this have to do with anything?

You are the biggest nuffy to have ever graced the internet.

[DJShaksta]

And how exactly would the NRL go about 'looking into' this allegation? Hmm? Whats that? Connect gaz up to a lie detector and ask if he intended to stay a full 4 years?!

Dumbass

They don't need to, he has admitted he never intended to see out the contract.

So the NRL allows Gasnier to sign for 2010 only because they will make up for it by topping it up over the next 3 years, then he retires before the two most expensive years kick in. Now he comes out and says he knew he was always going to retire before he turned 30...

Surely even the most one eyed Dragons fans can see something wrong with that?

Don't forget he hadn't won a premiership when he signed the contract in 2010. He always said he wanted to win one before he retired. No one knew that premiership was for certain at end of season 2010. That alone would have helped him reach his definite decision.

Were you asleep during the entire Greg Inglis controversy? He agreed to a contract with us paying him 190k in the first year and then being backended in the later years. The NRL blocked it because the first year was "below market value".

The NRL has gotten so carried away with enforcing the draconian cap, they forbid players from agreeing to contracts significantly below their market value.

Back on topic about Gasnier, wtf? He acknowledges he never intended on fulfilling his contract. So why the f**k agree to a 5 year contract you f**kwit? Maybe because it's the only way you were getting around the legally braindead Schubert?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

There's nothing untoward happening here unless Gasnier keeps getting paid after he retires, in which case it should still count under the cap.

What will be cheating, but unfortunately still legal, is if Gasnier's playing contract (counted under the salary cap) is replaced with a coaching contract (which is not counted under the cap). Kind of like how Darren Lockyer has been playing for the Broncos for peanuts because he'll be compensated with a fat coaching contract after he retires. It might be cheating, but it's not illegal.

And the guy who said players are allowed to play for less than their market value is correct. The only exception is that players aren't allowed to renegoiate the terms of existing contracts unless the new contract is also an extension. That's why the Storm players couldn't just take pay cuts.

Anyway, the NRL should still look into any instance of that happening because it's sus, and goes against the spirit of the salary cap.

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

everyone can see this is sus except dragons fans :lol: I can see them signing Dugan on a 15 year backended contract :lol: 50k for the first 14 years and then 2000000 zillion on the 15th year

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DUMBASS

Hmm ill admit i was wrong about the storm, but i think this line is important:

"Clubs can't be allowed to take players out of the market with huge offers one year and then cover things up with pay cuts the next".

The Gaz situation is not the same. He played for a season and a half for whatever they agreed to pay him for that time and now he will retire. Dragons dont have to pay him the rest of his contract and they dont get Gaz playing for them anymore. If thats a rort then every team is rorting the cap since every team has back ended deals.

I still maintain that if player A is getting offers of 300k a season, but wants to play at a club that can only offer him 150k a season then there is nothing wrong with him taking less to play for whatever team he wants.

Again, making a fool of yourself. No one has said it is not sus....if planned, a well executed legal manouvre of a salary cap loophole. If so, they exploited it and have not done anything illegal. How hard is it to understand that?

Fail.

:lol: BHP...

Players retire in sport all the time, at any time including (shock horror) before their contact is up. That Gaz said he had pretty much decided before the start of this season means nothing. He could have changed his mind at any point. Your theories make you out to be a mad person and I don't think that accurately describes you...dickhead is a more apt example. Nonetheless you can continue to believe it was all a big show from the start, that we're rorting the cap or whatever other whacky conclusion you come up with...I on the other hand will continue to laugh at how pathetic, predictable and boring your rants have become.
