You have nothing, please tell me what else the NRL could of done or f**k off out of this thread.started another thread on the same topic - that seems to be your answer
Nobody I have heard has suggested you let them keep the Premierships. What is being said is that they should be playing for points even if its from an impossible position.i agree what else could they have done? how can you let an illegal team keep the premiership?
all the people whining get them under the cap and let them play for points would be the first ones screaming if they managed to make it to the semis and knocked their team out as far as im concerned we worry about the other 15 clubs first and the storm last
Whats the point? They would end up with either negative points at the end of the season (why would you want to play for that) or zero, witch they are on now.Nobody I have heard has suggested you let them keep the Premierships.

And its players and coaches from other Clubs who are saying it.

I agree - a number of different ideas have been put about this. But they should be playing for points.but they are still 'competing' as such, they are still using an illegal squad to take on other teams and deny them the chance of getting any points to go towards the ladder.
my solution for this year
yep, strip them of their points they have earned this year
but instead of deeming their season futile what about this...........
they need to get under the cap, to do this they should be made to shed players for a week period. Let them all train together, but come game day, they should be made to have to sit down say 'x' amount of players (say 6-7 of their top 25) and every week it has to be a different set of players and over say a 4 week period every player in that squad must have been sat at least 1 game out. Tweak the numbers or whatever, but use that basic principle.

My My Cupid - not showing much love tonight are we? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!You have nothing, please tell me what else the NRL could of done or f**k off out of this thread.
What happens when they get injuries?but they are still 'competing' as such, they are still using an illegal squad to take on other teams and deny them the chance of getting any points to go towards the ladder.

That's really punishing the players ... training but not playing. Worse than the current punishment in my opinion.
Simple. Let us get under the cap, start us on minus 10 and let us compete. I doubt we would even make the finals but it's better then nothing at all. At least at the end of the season we can say we got to where we finished legally, and had to do it the bloody hard way.

Very productive postBooted out Manly for breaching the Fu*kwit Supporters Cap. You blokes have more than your fair share.

With their playing squad cut back to comply with the cap and starting on -10 or -12 points so that they couldn't make the finals, they'd still have a number of things to play for. Avoiding finishing with negative points, catching the last place team to avoid the wooden spoon, proving they could win enough games while complying with the cap that they would've made the finals had it not been for the punishment, etc etc. It gives a purpose to the rest of their season and reason for the Melbourne rugby league public not to turn their back on the game. The damage is done and the punishment is rightfully severe. There's nothing to be gained by dragging this out and damaging the game even further.Whats the point? They would end up with either negative points at the end of the season (why would you want to play for that) or zero, witch they are on now.
