Pascoe sanctioned by the NRL

I'm no CEO, but I don't think a team would offer more than 200k, which don't help them much. Time to shed a good player.
 
Over the cap is CHEATING plain and simple … these are multimillion dollar business all of them looking to get one over there rivals . Does anyone think that spending over the cap is a mistake... the NRL have a problem IMO with the harsh punishment dished out to the Tigers with the deregistering of the CEO for 12months .Other clubs now seem to have been deliberately cheating the cap to gain ADVANTAGE over there rivals so what type of punishment would that entail considering the heavy penalty given to the Tigers who by face value did not cheat the cap to gain ADVANTAGE over a rival . This is black and white !spending over the cap intentionally is cheating so let the NRL start rolling out the life bans for the CEO’s involved , there heavy penalty to the Tigers has set the bench mark !!
 
Snake, I don't trust them. I can just see Sharks getting busted Yet Again, and still retain their premiership. Get a small cap penalty. Naughty naughty. Move along, nothing to see here.

If we want to compete with the big clubs, we need to either cheat up to their level, or bring them crashing down to our level. Either way, Todd is not our ally. So we need to bring him down too. I will be devastated if we get shafted, and don't try through the courts to fight back. Its not about winning in court, its about standing up against tyranny.

Spot on. Being 600K over the cap is more of a competitive advantage than offering an ambassadors role. How does a club end up that far over the cap and it be classified as anything other than cheating? Administrative error perhaps? :thinking:

In my opinion being 600K over is far worse than what we have done. So if the NRL are fair dinkum and the figures stated by the media are factual, they have to deregister Dave Donaghy for gross incompetence or for cheating.

It really depends on what conversations the Storm have had with the NRL and what the NRL allow.

How does that make a difference? If you're over the cap, you're over the cap. Greenberg himself said the rules are clear.

Because the NRL do not view it as being over the cap until you play a game over the cap.
 
I thought you could not register a contract when your books were over the cap. Anyway I guess the cap only comes into play from when the whistle blows for round one

I don't know if they have registered Smiths contract or not, so maybe you are right.
 
The NRL has told the Storm unless they are under the cap by Round 1 they will forfeit the first game.

I doubt they will forfeit, but I could see them playing for no points as other teams have in the past.

Unless it’s an ambassador role that hasn’t been taken up yet, that’s still counted.

If it hasn't been agreed to then you are correct, if it was agreed to it should have been included in the cap in 2016 or 17

The NRL rules state that the last player signed is the first one to be let go.

I don’t think that is actually true.

They don't have to let them go but they can't play them until they are cap compliant.

I think that would be fair enough, I don't believe they should receive point either.
 
I really think that the NRL should immediately sack their NRL staff/managers who have had charge of keeping the NRL Club Cap situations within legal limits. The CAP policing by the NRL has been completely abysmal for years and now CEO Greenburg is attempting, without success, to show that he is doing something about it.
