Funny a fan of a salary cap breaching eels club, making fun another salary cap cheetin club, atleast when the storm did it they won comps, when eels did it, they got a big ol wooden spoon.

Well....One side was split up mid year whilst cheating. The other was caught years after they had already won and also allowed to keep the squad or shouldI say the big 4 to win another one. The big 4 would of been split years prior.

I don't care, both teams are a bunch of cheats

I hate both these clubs as much as the next guy but be very careful making comments like this. Every team cheats the cap
Rubbish just coz cronulla, manly, storm and eels all did it, doesn't mean the rest of the other 12 clubs have ever done it, you could say that just because they got caught! But either be smarter about it or dont do it, coz if you get done .... you're a cheat! You cannot say "but we only cheated just a bit, in comparing to what melbourne did"

...be full cream or be nothing

Panthers did it. Remember Maloney saying publicly that the club had to work out a TPA with the Moylan swap. This admission resulted in the club having to release Leilani Latu to fit Maloney in due to the TPA being illegal under the salary cap.

Season didn't start yet, he admitted that on the kangaroo game prior to our preseason the November before the next season, all clubs are possibly in breach of salary caps when signing new players around that time, Tetris with the cap only counts when the season starts, having the "club" or "manager" organise a 3rd party deal is irrelevant, when politis has cars to give out to his players

The point is all clubs do it. Every single one even ours. The difference as far as I know is the amount. Storm were the biggest as far as I remember (could be off don't remember the exact figures)

Again its irrelevant, its ALL about not knowingly breach it by seasons beginning, regardless whats been tinkered with under/over whatever rules

Raiders did it in 1990 - the year they cheated us out of a GF.
Hahaha that was a very stacked side, good thing we could match it with them, just proves our worth in the comp, when we can give them a run and also beat them the following year, with a team of globetrotters who almost got a three-peat

Ok we would've been knowingly doing it at seasons beginning if Maloney hadn't said anything AND also had been doing it for some period of time during Moylan's contract.

I've heard a few references to this. Wouldn't sur[rise me based on how stacked they were and even more impressive how we were their equal in performance over those two years.

None of that matters, as long as your not in excess of the cap during the actual season, hence why such teams ended up in bad form, mainly from back ended contracts, and really bad recruiting from not having funds then from that.... e.g. Canterbury past few years

Panthers were about to do it.*
In all probity we did it under Gus and perhaps do it now but there's no proof so you can't say it like it's a fact. It's just probably a fact.
