More quotes in the News link.



This guy still doesn't get it, retention of players they wouldn't otherwise be able to keep due to the salary cap was the whole reason they were successful. Remember when Smith looked like heading to the GC then all of a sudden signed a new deal?

They couldn't keep them all together so they decided to cheat, so many people (mainly deluded storm fans) don't understand this and use the phrase "they didn't play better because they were paid more" as some illogical rationale.

Coming from a Broncos fan :roll::roll::roll:

Meanwhile in the afl they let teams have cola payments no questions asked

And the teams in frontier states are now big business

Wally was onto something

 

[POPEYE]

All just a crock of shit, Waldron is trying to disguise the fact he wasn't a CEO's arsehole . . . getting caught was inexcusable

similar story from Fairfax.


f**k Waldron. The turd should not be given any oxygen at all.

Gallop was a rubbish administrator but to say he forced the club's hand is just reaching a bit too far.

 

[firechild]

f**k off. Wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. Get back in your hole and don't come back out.

Wouldn't quite go that far. I'd just avoid the burning bits.

Yes, but the big difference is that they LET them have those allowances up front and above the table in the AFL. Not through the fake hire of a marquee....

He wanted his cake, and wanted to eat it as well...cant do that.

Have you seen the size of him? He definitely ate the cake.

He's f*cking delusional.

 

[betcats]

Blame everyone else, thats what the club, coach and players have been doing for years already Wally, should of just kept your mouth shut.

 

[Hutty1986]

Cheated, got caught, now trying to palm off blame elsewhere under some altruistic mythology.
Filth, garbage, scum.

Sums it up pretty well. Funny how Bellamy seems to have gotten off without punishment too, not to mention the advantages Qld got from the cheating players.

Crikey, even I wouldn't have used that 'Qld' bait, you must think there are many more guppies on here that believe in the salary cap than I do

It's the offseason pops.

Plus it's a handy excuse for my state's near-decade of mediocrity.

I have some regard for the Storm waving the flag in Gaelic football mad Melbourne. I also see the battle they have to attract players to that cold dark dank miserable city.

I somehow think that the NRL should have cut some slack in regards to the salary Cap for places like Canberra and Melbourne. No one in their right mind would live in either city.
That said, I also think the salary cap auditor may be a bit dirty that Slater, Smith, Cronk and Inglis didn't play out of Bondi Junction, or is that being a bit nasty?

I lived in Melbourne for a couple of years... It was great.

If you can get past the AFL, it's brilliant. Found myself going to a fair few storm games even though I'm a Sharks supporter.

success breads culture, the storm's success was bought, in this case the chicken before the egg was made by kfc

'success breeds culture', dearie f**king me . . . maybe Ford could have pushed those Phase III'S around Mt Panorama without wasting money on engines

The NRL under Gallop was run backwards, and harmed the code. As the AFL expanded, our code was trying to cut off our own head.
That is the truth why deny it.
I was just reading a story today about 2 of the highest paid AFL players, ablett and another pillack, both play for the dropkick queensland clubs.

But this is the AFL mentality, they know it will attract members to their new clubs and the weak lions.
No matter, both Gallop and Wal;dron were nothing but a waste of time and space.

In this whole thing, Gold Coast are the ones who truly got f**ked over.

Signing 5 years deals with players and coaches with questionable ability had more to do with their shit performance than not being able to snare Cam Smith.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

They cheated and the guy is a scumbag, as well as anyone else who was complicit in this. That's all there is to it.

I don't care if their only intention was to grow the game in Melbourne. If you feel you can't grow the game in Melbourne without cheating then what the f**k are we even trying for?

So you Bleed Maroon, except when Cam Smith, Billy Slater and GI are playing? Is that it? Because they were certainly complicit in it, particularly Cam.

He doesn't know who they are.
