We still don't know that anything wrong has been done. All this "Smoke" you talk about is just that, smoke and mirrors. Meeting minutes taken out of context, unsubstantiated, out of context payments we have no idea what they were for, but of course you're assuming it's all bad because that's what you want to believe. If you look at it objectively, there's no actual, concrete evidence of wrong doing at all (apart of course for the breaches we've already been punished for, which was dumb and stupid, yes, but that's over with). Show me one piece of concrete evidence (not provided by the DT, none of which is), then we can talk about what they've done wrong. So far the only thing they did was keep DT out of the board, and throw Spags on his arse. That's what they're being punished for right now.

Here's the problem with your idea. Any board that doesn't consist of DF will instantly have enemies the second they take control of the club. This is the bit you don't get, cause you have the same attitude, DF doesn't think Sharp=bad, he thinks not-DF=bad. It won't matter who it is that is in charge or for how long, as long as DF isn't in charge, he'll want to be, and he'll do anything to get it back. I don't think that Spags has anything to do with all this, apart from cheering from the sidelines, this stinks of DF, especially after the "I'll save you" article in the DT.

He will continue the undermine the club administration while he isn't in control of it. Makes no difference who is there.

Yep, we've already been punished for previous indescretions under this new board. But yes your right, Nothing's been proved for this current batch of allegations. But these guys In charge haven't filled me with any confidence with their track record of management.

Let's just say we are found to have done supremo stuff under NRL rules. And the NRL penalises us with 10 points and loss of players and a massive fine. Why then should we entertain the thought of the current board to stay on in power? Just because DF is a threat does that mean the current board needs to stay in power? No matter what?

OK, so you're admitting that you're buying into the DT's smear campaign then, ok good to know.

Absolutely not, if the current board are found to have intentionally broken the rules and we are punished for it, regardless of the severity of the punishment, then they need to go. That hour. Right away, no ifs, ands, or buts.

You see, I'm operating on the assumption that they haven't done anything wrong, and until it has been proven otherwise by the NRL (not the DT) I will support the current board.

I think the board are as useless as Luke Kelly and an overlap, but until the investigation is complete I'm happy for them to stay on. But as Ash said as soon as any of these allegations are proving they should be put on Thiet arses ASAP. And if they have to stand down for us not to lose points they should straight away.

completely agree.

I highly doubt that the NRL will force the board to resign, regardless of what happens, but if that ultimatum comes down, and the board refuses to step down in favour of losing points, I think the members would (and should) march down to Parra Leagues and demand they step down. But I think if the NRL did officially tell them they had to go or we would lose points, they would go, no one is bigger than the club, and everyone is expendable where premiership points are concerned.

NRL can't force the board out, but I'm sure behind closed doors that could tell to either resign or lose 6pts.
That's if there is in fact any wrong doing going on.

Find it hard to believe they can force the board out..... Did they force the Melbourne Storm players out, when they signed multiply contracts?

So true hindy111. Put them on Thiet arses.

IF by some chance the NRL were as careless to divulge information to the Terrorgraph , then that opens up the possibility of legal challenges being persued by the club when any findings are finalised, as the NRL would be in breach of its guidelines, and corporate law regarding how investigations are handled.

well it doesn't sound like the club is happy that Grant is leaking to the media http://www.parraeels.com.au/news/2016/03/22/eels_statement.html

Eels statement

Tue 22nd March, 12:00PM

Media Release

Parramatta Eels CEO John Boulous has today reiterated that the club is assisting the NRL in their investigation into alleged salary cap breaches.

?We are being as open and transparent as we can with the NRL. As a club, we have offered our full co-operation with the NRL to ensure that we get to the bottom of all allegations,? Mr Boulous said.

?We have started our own investigation precisely because we do not know the answers to all of the allegations being raised in the media.?

?We are concerned at ongoing media speculation about the NRL?s investigation. It is important that all parties involved receive due process to ensure the integrity of the investigation.?

?We are reluctant to comment further to ensure the integrity of the investigation is preserved.?

Not sure why people are so confident we will not lose points.
I think with Greenberg in charge he will want to stamp his mark. I do not see how you are able to say stand down or lose points. I can see them taking points but not sure how you can give them the choice?

We won't lose points simply because the allegations that have been levelled at us to date do not justify that punishment.

If these allegations are proven, and further breaches are found, then it's all bets are off, but as it stands, not going to happen.

But what have we done?

Apart from some "explosive" articles from the Telecrap, we really haven't been found guilty of anything yet.

And I don't reckon we will, I reckon half/most of the shit has already been addressed by the previous investigation/audit etc.

What if the NRL said the board had to go OR we lose points and the board decided not to?

Only the PLC members can make sure that doesn't happen.
Anyone who is a PLC member send me a PM and I will share some ideas if you're interested because I don't want to discuss what I think is going to happen in public. :shock:
