The unlucky man in Parramatta’s salary cap scandal appears to be Nathan Peats. And as the hooker sits in limbo while men higher up the chain discuss his future at the club, one person closest to Peats has taken aim at Eels officials. The father of Parramatta hooker Nathan Peats has blasted the club and its officials for potentially pushing his son out.Geordi Peats told Fairfax Media he is furious with the five embattled officials who are accused of mishandling the salary cap.
His anger comes from the fact Nathan looks likely to be pushed out of the club to ease salary cap pressure. You have five f***wits on the board who can’t add up and it bites a player on the arse when it’s not his fault,” Geordi Peats said.“They reckon they’ve got nothing to answer for, they are pathetic.“(Nathan) is shattered, he’s filthy. He’s not happy, he can’t believe it. They go and buy Kieran Foran and built well this year but obviously they didn’t have the money to do it.“I don’t know how they get away with it, how they justify it to themselves, they are totally to blame. (Nathan is) just the pawn in the big game.”
Geordi Peats played first grade with Canterbury and South Sydney at hooker, the same position as his son.
