Parra rort the cap

link to anything?

The NRL has other problems. The whispers in the corridor of power at ICAC suggest phone taps will reveal another club is cheating the salary cap, with the taps a chance to become public when more evidence is tendered against Eddie O’Beid.

This club also recently let go a staffer involved in recruitment.

While there is nothing criminal about the actitivies from an ICAC perspective, the cap rorting will amount to a large headache for the NRL.

Two clubs in one year? How widespread is it?

None of this is a concern for Hodkinson, who along with Josh Reynolds now gets the chance to secure the Blues their first series since 2005 and then lead the Bulldogs the rest of the way.

He is the feel-good story to emerge in what are very interesting times for the game.

He revealed later that it was Parra.
 
My understanding is that when a player is paid well below market value to squeeze them into the cap, usually on a back ended contract, the NRL has discretion to assign a theoretical value for cap purposes. This means that if you've managed to assemble a dream team without paying them too much money per season, the NRL can intervene.

With that in mind, I think that if a club like the Eels have had to pay way over the odds just to get a mediocre first grade team on the park, maybe the NRL should cut them a little slack and value their squad realistically.

So Parra are just a "little bit" pregnant?

According to Paul Kent they are over the cap..

How? They are hardly made up of big names.

On another note, I was surprised how bad they were without Hayne last night. I thought they had turned the corner, as a team this year, not just because Hayne was in good form, but it appears not. Shades of last seasons form was on show last night by the majority of the squad.

Hopoate - 800k
Hayne - 700k
Sandow - 600k
Norman - 500k
Peats - 400k
Mannah - 400k
 
But somehow the Roosters are O.K. The next significant signing the Wests Tigers should make is the Roosters accountancy firm!

No mate, they have allowances for not having many juniors. They are allowed to go over the cap by 45%.

Wait … Schubert isn't the cap policeman anymore!

Roosters financing lesson 1\. - How to pick up other club's problems on the cheap and leave their previous club paying the bulk of their cap value. Or was that just Michael Jennings?
