Wow this is getting embarrassing, how does it feel to be the only side in the comp that's not competitive?

Whoever asked about Tohu Harris yes he is off-contract and really talented, i'd imagine if we lose Sika we will keep Tohu, alternatively if we keep Sika then big T may slip away.

All i care about is this season and after the 1st 4 rounds of 2012 nothing you grubs say has any sting to it, your a rabble and we are clearly the team to beat. Fancy having a TAB market framed to not win a game ALL season ahahaha and imagine another agency already paying out punters who backed you for the spoon! LOL! Back under your rock. You merkins are an embarrassment to our sport at the moment. Losers!

According to your logic a team in breach of the salary cap writes off the entire year, so i guess we havn't had a proper and fair season since the salary cap was introduced. Every year no less than 5 teams are fined for salary cap indescretions, including your mob some of those. I am in no way trying to justify what the Storm did, it was wrong and i've accepted it. Think of the salary cap like a running race, doesnt matter if you jumped the gun by a millisecond or a full second, your still DQ for cheating. BTW in 2007 we were 270,000 over the cap and lost our premiership, Warriors were 800,000 over in a year and lost 4 competition points, hardly equal. Some clubs have also been in excess of the cap by 200k+ and copped nothing but a fine. If we got caught in 2007 like the Warriors or Dogs before us we would still have our title, just saying. So A) You've cheated the cap before so you don't play by the rules, B) Every year is Null & Void by your reasoning, C) Were legit and still EASILY the best and it kills you and finally D) Your a merkin and Parra are a joke!

So an Olympian found guilty of doping should only be named or shamed if they won gold? Thats a pretty tame argument, and i'm not arguing whether or not the storm should have been punished, my main problem is consistency in rulings for breaches. In 06' we were $120k over, $270k in 07', 800 odd thousand in 09' and 1.5 million in 10'. I have no problem with the 09 title being striped and being docked all our points in 2010 but honestly, the tigers afew years ago breached by almost 300k after a mix up with bonuses and 2nd tier contracts and copped a 50k fine. in 06 & 07 we breached by less than them yet lost 2 MP (and repayed 200k in prize money) and got stripped of our title. Trust me i get the big picture, my argument/gripe was always about why were we tried as a whole 5 year rort, while other clubs who break the cap in consecutive years get tried and fined accordingly annually? We won that 07 title breaching less than others before us who simply copped cash fines because their lack of success meant the had nothing to strip, how is that fair? We paid our dues and copped 09,10 and all the shame that goes with it, cant you opposition fans see were not defending what the organization did we just believe parts of the punishment were excessive? And after 2 years of shit can you blame us fans for having a siege mentality for a crime we personally didnt commit nor condone? Step back and walk afew steps in our shoes.

you cannot seriously be comparing a team that goes over the cap due to influences beyond their control (injuries or incentive payments etc) and makes a full disclosure of it to the nrl to waldron paying players under the table and taking deliberate action to hide it?
i know you are bitter but even you must see its apples and oranges
