the eels are said to be way over the cap and will be fined $500,000\. yet there still able to sign watmough, foran and scott as well as trying to sign gorden and still telling every one they still have space for more signings. we get rid of 14 players at the end of last year and are still looking to off load more players, and with no signings in sight, god we must be in a hell of a mess. or the other teams dont give a shit about the cap.
EELS OVER THE CAP

Even if we wanted to breach the cap, we wouldn't be able to afford to.
Parramatta salary cap scandal; club faces fines of up to $500,000
Phil Rothfield EXCLUSIVE

PARRAMATTA is facing a fine of up to $500,000 for salary cap breaches.
The NRL has confirmed this morning the Eels have been under investigation for several months.
It relates to their salary cap last year and having to pay players who were cut by previous coach Ricky Stuart.
Among those who were forced out include Reni Maitua, Matt Keating and Cheyse Blair.
It is believed the club is still paying part of their contracts.
It is understood that the Eels salary cap breaches go back as far as 2009, the year the club made the NRL grand final.
The Daily Telegraph understands they only came to light when football manager Daniel Anderson joined the club and noticed some discrepancies.
The NRL and the Eels are expected to issue a joint press statement later today.

Must have a good accountant to go with both of them. The day the roosters are found to be over the cap is the day the whole of the NRL and supporters band together to cheer for joy. Somehow the Eels are over but Roosters aren't with a roster like this and being able to sign MORE players i.e. Matangi from the Warriors is baffling.

Foran too? Possibly why so many people are reporting that Pauli Pauli is coming our way must be trying to offload players.

Well its no shock to me to read that the NRL only found out about the cap breaches after Daniel Anderson went there and found discrepancies.
Many clubs are rorting the cap because policing it is abysmal

Mate if your going to blow the cap , make it worth it WT's , not with some dodgy no hopers

I hate the Eels, best part of this article is the bit ive highlighted. How many Eels fans do you know cried blue murder when Melbourne got done and reckoned the trophy should have been theres. Cant wait to see my Eels mates on the weekend.

I remember Paul Kent saying on 360 last year that he's had club officials tell him off the record and off air that they are rorting the cap and how they get around it. Basically unless someone exposes it you can't stop it.
