Pascoe sanctioned by the NRL

[Set_play]

I think the Salary Cap penalties have to stay if we broke the rules but think the other penalties may get downgraded.

I think a downgrade is on the cards. I’d expect Pascoe’s penalty to be lifted.

All jokes aside gnr what sort of downgrade do you think will happen.

I'd like to see Pascoe's ban lifted and the fine downgraded but believe if the rules were broken, even accidentallymthen the salary cap deduction needs to stay as a deterrent to other teams.

Yeah i suppose it does have to stay as a deterent to other teams but still think its a bit much as for pascoe if its proven he got us in this mess i would like to see him stay gone as he should of checked everything before signing off on it but its as hard one as he played a major part in turning this club around but seems to of bought it all undone with this mess.

I can understand that. To me there is a huge difference regarding the intention of the action. I think the intention should impact upon the Pascoe deregistering and fine, and unfortunately not affect the $639k salary cap hit.

Does Robbie definitely get the money though? If it's coming off the salary cap for 2019, shouldn't he be paid all of it for 2019, so he gets $639k additional to whatever he is on for the upcoming season? lol, he could be on $950k again.

I actually almost 100% agree with this. Pascoe's penalty should be tied to intention but the club has to take the Salary hit.

The cap hit is just Farah's role being included in the cap so it is completely appropriate.

True that and the more i think about it i has to stay because if no deductions happen the bigger clubs will just rort the cap and just get third partys to pay the fine to get a priemership.

Are we paying him 680k a year…not even the PM gets that..nice ambassador's job

Just curious if a player with any club signs an Ambassador type role in the future and it is declared, and that clubs salary cap is then reduced as per the NRLs direction; what would happen if that player was unable to take up the role? Does that mean the salary cap reduction is now invalid and that amount is now added to a future salary cap? I can feel a Rorters rort coming on.

I think Greenberg will need lube soon.

 

[prattenparkchild]

I still need convincing how a future non playing role, yet to be accepted, can be levied against the players salary cap. Certainly there is scope to be levied against the coaching and support staff allowance but not playing roster cap surely.

 

[prattenparkchild]

Sorry, double post. Damn patchy internet up here in Indonesia for some reason today.

 

[Harvey]

We should withdraw the ambassador role and give Robbie and Benji a testimonial game.

Not sure when it will be scheduled as next NRL approved testimonial is scheduled for 2020 pre season, Cronk vs Smith.

It should have been included in 2016, so not sure what your point is.

I'm not sure other clubs would be stupid enough to sign a contract for it.

It really is quite simple as it is an effort to prevent teams from cheating the salary cap.

Well Greenburg said the total of Farah's ambasadors role over 4 years after Footy totalled 680k the amount of the Cap fine to come out of 2019 cap…hence why i asked..nothing to do with 2016...but the approval of the deal was never sought from the NRL therefore the breach..

That was from Greenburgs mouth the day of the press conference..

According to Wests Tigers Cap relief sought in 2016 for Farah being a destabalising figure was refused so no Cap relief was given...

It has been reported that he has been offered a role over 4 years totaling $680K, it is included in the cap over one year because it is considered part of his benefits for playing for the Tigers and the Tigers never included it in 2016 when the deal was arranged.

Reported by who because that was not said by either Weeks or Mr Greenburg at the original press conference..mearly the NRL where never informed or approval sought for the after footy deal ..hence the breach order…

Only going on memory but I thought they said the total amount of the deal will be included in the 2019 cap

Wasn't this ambassador role reported on the NRL website? If so, regardless of actual direct WT reporting or lack thereof, they had knowledge of the offer, as did the general public.

The rules aren't report it to the media, there is a procedure to follow and for some reason our club didn't do this. Blaming the NRL doesn't absolve the Tigers wrongdoing.
