Didn't Eels get caught cheating one year when they were already fixed onto the bottom of the ladder?

It recently came to light that the eels were involved with illegal third party payments to Anthony Watmough and another player (can’t remember who) back in 2015. It came to light when the construction company through which the payments were facilitated was being wound up. The liquidator discovered the payments and the email correspondence supporting the illegality of them (at least in NRL salary cap terms). As far as I am aware, the NRL took no action. No doubt it was under a different administration but that is poor by the NRL imo. Same thing happened when Mark Gasnier’s brother took him to court a decade ago. Evidence of illegal third party payments facilitated by the dragons was presented. The NRL didn’t even acknowledge it. The NRL would prefer an uneven playing field and no drama than a level playing field and the bad press it would take to get it there.

What are we expecting to pay him for seasons 2027 and 2028 ?
I reckon it will be 700k per season, possibly more and I thinks it’s about 100k too much.

It will be within the ceiling of expenditure mentioned by Richardson in the Da Silva article. The club is working to a plan and Koroisau's extension imo would have already been agreed upon (that is just my view).
 
do you guys think we might dip into the market for another back up hooker to do short stints for api and when he’s injured or just stick with api 80 minutes ?

There's supposedly a lot of money in the cap for this season right? There's a minimum to spend (95% floor), and if they pay the full cap for this year, then several players will be front loaded this year which leaves more to spend next season and beyond.

yeah we must have a lot of cap space, considering we were offering LG $1m for 5 years, that’s free so far plus any front loaded money from api etc. we should expect quite a few signings to come.
