The only way it could come under salary cap was if his ambassador role was used as an inducement to stay on but on a lower salary - for instance if we were going to pay him 750k but did a deal to pay him 500k with the promise of a 250 k a year job when he retires. I can't think of any other way,

That's pretty much the crux of the matter. You can't offer post contract guaranteed money. It was always going to be cap liable.

How did the NRL find out - must have been someone with a gripe against the club.

I actually think Robbie himself mentioned it in a media article mid year when he came over to us. At the time I thought that was incredibly dumb.

I blame Cleary!
He could of cleaned up this mess by including it in last years cap.
Who says we didn’t plan on including it in the 2020 cap, would make the most sense since that would be the year he is doing his ambassador role. And what happens after that. 5 years on and Robbie continues in his ambassador role will that be included it that years cap. What about Halatal, Santo, Fulton?

It's because he has been offered the role for future years while still playing. Crappy thing is with the new football department cap we will probably have to include it in that cap in 2020.

So what i take from that is we are an amateur club who do not know how to conduct business.
 
So they are saying we have not disclosed $250,000 per year since 2016? So we have breached the salary cap for 2016, 2017 and 2018? That breach can only occur if it puts us over the cap for those years.

No they are saying we have offered Robbie Farah a job after football and that needs to be included in our cap, as it has not yet been included it will be included in the 2019 cap.

The breach is not about being over the cap, its for not disclosing payments.

Yoss said bad but not catastrophic.

Losing Pascoe would be catastrophic.

Fair go! That’s for individual punters to decide. Having multiple players test positive for recreational drugs or your winger giving amateur proctologist exams - that’s catastrophic!

Haha sorry mate I didn't mean to put words in your mouth.

Losing Pascoe would be a bit ordinary though.

Thats pretty much confirms its Pascoe facing the heat.
 
Pascoe has delivered too much to be in the firing line for this. I'd say it would be whoever is the accountant for the cap.

If pascoe has mentioned it in articles, then its not a far reach to say that he thought it was included. Maybe it was reported up to him wrong.

Hopefully, or may be he didn't know the rules as well as he should?
