OT: Wooden spoon betting

[hineyrulz]

Whats the bet they get a fine and a slap on the wrist??? And the fine would be paid from New LTD to News LTD anyway :roll:

 

[strider]

so if they didn' pick this up til say round 22 and the storm were on 30pts they would lose 30pts but because it is round 6 and they only lose 8 pts cause that is all they have?
So then the payments that put them over the cap what happens to them? they player/players in question would still want their money.

its ridiculous isn't it! .... thats why I said, let it drag out and get them for more points :lol:

if the rout is similar to that of the Dogs then the punishment should be similar, if they have to go to negetive points then so be it.

I am seriously doubting there is anything as wrong as what happened with the dogs ... this is probably all out of proportion - I'm betting its just some technical breach with a fine

 

[Kornstar]

I know we are saying we don't know what would have happened etc but didn't we beat the top 3 teams to make the GF in the finals?

That is a mighty effort and then to lose to the alleged cheats doesn't sit well with me if it comes out that they have infact breached the cap seriously last year!

Yes we can't guarantee we still would have one, still doesn't mean we would have lost, we were 7 points away from them in the end.....i was ok with losing because of where we came from but if this is true, i will no longer be ok with it.......not that it matters what i think i guess.....

If they can't give them negative points could they give them a suspension of 5 - 10 games? If it is on the Dogs level of cheating then it should match what the dogs got.

Hadley's mail is that it could be of the magnitude as the Bulldogs breach.

If it is then they get a 30 plus point deduction. they cant sign anyone and they have to shed players.

If they can't give them negative points

No reason why they cant.

They deduct points in football leagues in europe. AC Milan started a year with negative points a few seasons back.

Hadley is on air now. Reckons it's worse than the Dogs. Goes back 3/4/5 years. They'll be slugged points this year so they can't make the 8 and their cap will be reduced by, say, $500k per year for 2/3 or 4 years.

Want some juicy irony ? Watch for Waldron (who now is in charge of Melbourne Rebels) sign Cronk or Inglis.

 

[hineyrulz]

If it's as bad as the Dogs breach and being going on for years why can't they be stripped of last years title???? Punishing them this year doesn't make up for what they have got away with for the last 3 or 4 years.

 

[mickdo]

FMD. I want our premiership!!!

 

[Parra Steve]

Id say they could be stripped of last years title, we wouldnt win it though. id suspect they'd pay back the prize money as well.

 

[Bazal]

News conference on Fox...stripped of 3 minor prems and the 07 and 09 premiership. Cannot accrue any points this year, will finish on 0. Fined over 1.5 mill in winnings and half a mill in fines. CEO and another senior member stood down

This is HUGE
