Rumours and Stuff

[TheRam]

Corey Norman for around $750k is about right on current form and could even be slightly unders if you asked me. We definitely need a hooker though and probably someone of note to partner Norman.

 

[hineyrulz]

After what he showed this season Norman on 730k is under's, especially after what we were paying for Foran.

 

[strider]

Well if the NRL are genuinely gonna investigate players then surely Corey is f**ked

They already have us guilty of cash in paper bag payments in carparks ... its clearly 100% correct or else the NRL is f**king us over based on rubbish evidence

So how can Corey get out of it? "Oh i thought it was my xmas present from santa"

Jarryd Hayne needs NRL clearance over salary cap cheating before take off

MICHAEL CARAYANNIS, The Sunday Telegraph
33 minutes ago

JARRYD Hayne will need to meet with the NRL’s integrity unit to answer questions about how much knowledge he had of Parramatta’s salary cap cheating before he returns to the NRL.

The Sunday Telegraph understands Hayne will not be registered by any club until he fronts the NRL should he make a rugby league comeback next year.

NRL sources said Hayne was likely to be quizzed by the integrity unit before a contract was registered.

“The integrity unit would want to ascertain whether he was aware of any undeclared third party payments,” the source said.

“We are very keen for him to return to the NRL but we need to ensure he was not knowingly involved in the salary cap breaches at Parramatta.”

The NRL want to know if Hayne received cash or any other undeclared payments from the Eels. The Daily Telegraph revealed in May that the Eels had secretly arranged almost $500,000 in deals for Hayne since 2013.

There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Hayne.

Documents revealed Hayne received cash payments, first class overseas travel and car expenses — adding up to $465,000 between 2013 to 2015. The documents show Hayne was guaranteed $15,000 in 2013, $225,000 in 2014 and $225,000 in 2015.

The NRL’s integrity unit will shift its focus to determining how much, if anything, players knew about Parramatta’s salary cap cheating shortly.

But first, the NRL will complete its investigation into player agents and if they were complicate in helping Parramatta cheat the salary cap.

The NRL’s head of integrity, Nick Weeks, will compile a report for the agents accreditation scheme within weeks.

The scheme will make a final decision on possible sanctions to player managers.

Lmffao. Hayne needs clearance and will be quizzed? IIRC didn't the storm players decline to be interviewed after the storm were busted rorting the cap? Double standards much!!!

The Storm players were advised not to comment by their agents/legal team. I dont think we can hang this one on the NRL.

If the special one doesn't co-operate it would appears as though its an admission of guilt and he has already Tweeted to Buzz that he has never received any underhanded payments into his bank account, then he told Buzz to go make up some more stories.

Let's assume Hayne is questioned. Why wouldn't the NRL want to question the storms players about signing several contracts, boat payments and cash payments???

Not sure their legal representatives could stop the NRL questioning them. It was the NRL that never pursued it

 

[Twizzle]

They certainly did pursue it but players were not allowed to comment.

Well they didn't pursue it hard enough.

 

[Twizzle]

yeh, they copped a lot of criticism for it and so did the agents, scum of the earth imo

 

[eels_fan]

The difference being the storm players were registered NRL players at the time.
Hayne isn't, so they can really decline to register to him for what ever reason they want, whereas to de-register an active player would require sufficient evidence etc

 

[hindy111]

Norman worth every 730k.

Next....

 

[EelsFan05]

Norman worth every 730k.

Next....

Nearly half the price of Foran, producing twice the performances. We went ok without Foran, we are up shit creek without Norman.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Foran's cap price was reportedly only $800k. Not bad for a bloke who's never been suspended for a quarter of a season for drug possession.

Foran's cap price was reportedly only $800k. Not bad for a bloke who's never been suspended for a quarter of a season for drug possession.

There were also reports both last year and this year that his full 1.2million was on the cap. Here is one such report from 2015:

Where was that reported? ... if thats the case then he's on what 400K of TPAs? ... which would hav been most of the 700k we supposedly got rolled into this season ... and what about choc's 200k odd of tpas

Sorry but i think 800K on the cap is horse poop

Na, pretty sure I read the same he was on $800k plus TPA's:

. The star Eels recruit was believed to be on a base salary of around $800,000 a year. ..............

Foran was scheduled to receive $450,000 in under-the-table TPAs between 2017 and 2019, while

Yeah merkins. Anyway, just because it was reported doesn't mean it's true. But you merkins keep wanting to throw around the numbers in the media so I can only play along.

Yes, cap price 800k, for 75% of a season from November to July...

Yes, so when he started he was on around $800k under the Salary Cap, but then all his TPA's were included under the Salary Cap, hence is value increased to around $1.2 million under the Salary Cap. Given that he only fulfilled 75% of his contract (November to July) that would put his cap hit to us for 2016 of somewhere between $800k and $900k
