Storm salary cap scandal thread

[roopy]

the broncos have rorted as much or more than the storm - you can't build player rosters twice as good as others for the same money - we all know it.

 

[aids]

take the license, and setup a 2nd Brisbane team.

 

[taxidriver]

Really?

How many players in the storm side, now sign with the Rebel Union team?
How does the game recover in any way in Melbourne?

League shoots itself once again, and d*ckheads like you cheer.

You make me sick

you make me sick you dirty prick, condoning their actions.

anyone who expected anything less from this so called club was deluding themselves.

they are the evil spawn of that f**ktard Ribot and had no place surviving or entering the comp in the manner they did.

league hasn't shot itself in the foot, it's finally standing up for itself and those merkins at news ltd.

if the storm were so viable and sustainable, then why cheat for their "success"?

if they are viable, they will be around and on level terms.

if not, then the sooner they die the better

Just think that for so long we all thought they were paying unders to keep a stable, strong winning squad. In reality, who knows how much the likes of Slater, Inglis and Smith are being payed

Black day for Rugby League. This will have all sorts of negative implications for the sport as a whole for many years to come.

 

[Pierced Soul]

this is a tragic day for rugby league. anyone gloating is f**ked. yes the club needed to be punished as do any administrators involved in this rorting but this will be the end of the storm, it'll turn off a lot of fans and has f**ked over the whole comp including rep games.

nothing about this is positive and it's sad to see so many "fans" enjoying the devastation and damage this will cause to our great game

 

[Tommy Smith]

OH...MY...f**kING...GOD...

What else is there to say.

Apart from Dirty f**king cheats. Players and administrators alike.

As a HUGE and i mean HUGE fan, I'm heartbroken as you all would be if it was your club. I have memorabilia from both premierships, all the DVD's. Just got a massive framed thing bought for my birthday (monday) from 2009 and all of it for nothing. I'm as close to crying as i have been for the past 10 years.

For anyone on here who has a go at the fans then you make me sick, by all means have a go at the club, they are the ones who did this to ALL of us, not just Storm fans but everyone who has been affected by this, its an utter disgrace and any guilty party should be banned from any further participation in administration in any form.

For the players, those who knew, hang your head in shame. You are a disgrace to the purple and yellow, f**k off to union or some other code where you might be accepted but i will hate you forever.

For my fellow fans, especially the ones down in Melbourne, I'm coming down for the Test Match and the opening game vs Brisbane, does anyone want to have a drink and probably a cry with me?

The Storm where running two seperate books, so as far as I am concerned the club can go and get pharked.

They had all that success fraudulently, and at the expense of the other sides.

I do feel for their supporters, because it is not their fault.

Couldn't agree more.

This is a dagger through the heart of the NRL. Every other club was cheated for five years and had it not been for the Storms cheating we could be talking about Manly as back-to-back Premiers and the Eels breaking their drought last year.

They've cheated millons of league fans for five years. f**king scum those who set this up...they should be imprisoned.

 

[Cletus]

While the Storm deserve to have their points stripped and I doubt News new about it, I feel like News has just f**ked our game. Why would a Storm fan turn up to a game for the rest of the year?

[user_nat]

Must be really hard for the Melbourne fans. Probably worse than the club getting thrown out.

 

[beave]

I feel for the players and the fans.

I for one am f**king gutted for Rugby League. Anyone gloating about this, pull your f**king heads in.

 

[Ridders]

Devistating news for RL. The future of league in Melbourne looks to be in serious doubt.

As a dogs fan I feel for all the storm supporters.....feels like a massive kick to the guts.

p.s. I dont think the players would be aware, i doubt theyd know what each player was earning and that their salary helped push them over.

You make me sick

Where exactly am I cheering? Way to jump to conclusions Einstein.Salary cap cheats in 2010 make me sick...

 

[Deacon]

I wonder what this means for the Under 20's premiership they won last yr aswell

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

As a Warriors fan i feel lucky that we only lost 4 points for our breach in 06

 

[eaglerock]

so why dont we get the 07 premiership tag and parra the 09? and does that mean they cant accumulate points at all this year
