We all knew this would happen, gallop the spineless puppet at it again. There is no way the 4 merkins should be allowed to stay together. Parra couldn't keep Kingston last yr but the team of cheats can:x

 

[kiwii]

Hell no there is no way in hell they should be allowed paycuts to stay there, pay there full salary or release them to another club how will, if the NRL allow this they will lose any credability they have with me.
The Storm should do it tough, they should not be given a chance to keep these guys without a fight.

 

[Twizzle]

''We'd certainly need to look at any proposal they put to us that will keep them under the cap in 2011, so long as it's fair to the other clubs in the competition.''

Yet you wouldn't let any Eels players take a paycut to keep Kingston on a minimum wage.

I've never been so pissed off with the NRL as I am right now.

Kevin Sheedy must be sitting back rubbing his hands together atm.

Why shouldn't they be allowed to take a paycut to stay together? Wouldn't that mean that they were within the salary cap and everyone would be happy?

No...that team needs to be disbanded, if they won the premiership with the same illegally assembled team it would leave a sour taste, not only for me, but for a lot of other league fans as well.

 

[jc155776]

Of course the Stars can afford to take a paycut if they have been getting an extra bite on the side for years.

How about make them take a paycut AND PAY BACK WHAT EXTRA THEY HAVE TAKEN.

That would be much fairer and equitable and have them thinking twice about staying no doubt...

because ITS NOT ALLOWED! ffs if the eels couldnt do it last year how can the storm do it now?

Go easy. He/she is new here.

This has been discussed at length elsewhere, Iso. The team was illegally assembled, and cannot be retained.

The Storm has decided to cull a large section of their team, sacrificing them to save their four stars. So in essence they won't have the same team. However, it was these four stars who would have been eating up the vast majority of the Storm's salary, so many argue that they should be the ones the team will have to do without (some of them at least). Its hard to objectify which players need to go.

To be honest I would like them to have to start from scratch. The club deserves no reprieve for what it did. The cleaning out of the directors is a good start, but I'm not sure its good enough. With a huge question mark hanging over certain players as to how implicit they were many, myself included, think they should not be allowed to stay there either.

 

[Loudstrat]

They can take a pay cut and play at Cronulla, NQ, Souths and NZ.

 

[Mark Rudd]

The team IS being disembled you dickheads. But they're keeping their 'big 4' as they've known.


Nothing wrong with that.



Just because your weak as piss sydtard clubs can't produce talent you want Melbournes.

 

[dollyhands]

Difference is that they didn't want to be at your androtop club, they wanted more money. the big for want less money you twat

its not really a pay cut say they are on $500,000 and cronulla pays them $200,000 the other $300,000 has to be paid by the storm and it counts towards their 2011 cap

i was talking about kingston not the storm players you f**kstick

that's true as long as the storm are under the cap in 2011 its up to them which players they release to do that i personally think its a bit risky using up so much of their cap on only 4 players and surrounding them with rookies on match payments (what if they are injured?) but its their problem

 

[perverse]

they should 100% not be allowed to take paycuts, and the reason for this is very simple. the squad was FALSELY assembled with inflated contracts from the Storm, and other clubs were unfairly unable to compete on a level playing field for the players services.

anyone saying otherwise, sorry but you are wrong. it is unacceptable to cheat and assemble a roster, and then have paycuts to keep any number of them together. they either stay in melbourne for their contract contract value and suffer the consequences of a sh*t team around them, or they piss off somewhere else. simple as that.

i was giving Gallop a bit of a wrap earlier... but if he allows this to happen after explicitly stating he would not then i will sh*t a thousand bricks.

i agree if he lets melbourne do it then the eels and every other club who has had to lose players due to the salary cap should sue the nrl

For all intents and purposes this appears to be what they are trying to do. The consequences are theirs to handle. Do not estimate the ability of Bellamy to choose the right rookies and train them to be a competitive team over time - it is the basis of his coaching ability to recognise talent & bring out the best in them.
