Pascoe sanctioned by the NRL

[Fade_To_Black]

The NRL under Greenburg is a farce like the Labor party. Self absorbed and panders to minorities

The CEO at the NRL is just a foot solider for a few big players (not footballers). It really would not matter who was in charge. The NRL is a dictatorship and most clubs except a few have any say in how things work or are done. The game will be dead in a decade if the self interest groups are not disbanded

Interested to hear who you believe to be these "bigger players"? TV networks perhaps. Greenberg is supposedly the top of the tree at the NRL, whose else is there that would have their hand up this puppet's bunghole telling him what to do? Other than TV networks I can't think of any others. Probably Politis (the preferential treatment the Roosters get would suggest perhaps Unca Nick might be lining a few pockets at NRL HQ).

lol

Your nothing but an NRL apologist - it really is quite boring how you think everything they do is totally correct and above reproach.

I definately don't think that, but I'm not going around thinking the Tigers did no wrong just because I support the club.

The Tigers offered Farah a very very lucrative role after football, for some reason they did not disclose that information to the NRL, which was all they needed to do and infact hid the contract from the NRL.

Why would they do that? really the options are.
1\. They made a huge mistake and accidentally broke the rules.

2\. The role after football was an inducement for Farah to leave, which needs to be included in the cap.

3\. The role was to compensate for a lost TPA, which needs to be included in the cap.

4\. The role was an inducement to have Farah return to the club at a future date, which needs to be included in the cap.

Now Greg Inglis announces his retirement and states he will work at the club when he finishes playing, that does not mean that the Rabbits have broken any rules as you can seek approval for after football roles. The Tigers are in trouble because they didn't seek approval.

Now if it turns out that there is no contract, then the NRL have messed up and that will be put forward by the Tigers when they present their case.

It's not about what we did or did not do. It's about how the NRL is dealing with us, compared to how they deal with other clubs. That's what is so frustrating.

This hit the nail on the head.
People aren't suggesting WT did no wrong. They are questioning the operating procedure's of the NRL and rightly so….the disparity in their continued actions are there for all to see. You could write a list of examples as long as your arm.

I am not hypercritical enough to bagged them for getting tougher, just because it is my club that got hit 1st. In saying that, other clubs have been punished much harsher than the Tigers for their breaches.

Is it public knowledge who are the people that make up the NRL board?

The only clubs that have been punished worse than WT are ones whose breaches have been massive ie: Storm and Bulldogs. Those 2 clubs can consider themselves lucky to still be allowed an NRL license IMO. Should of been punted from the competition.

I agree, but I'm not a hypocrite who can turn around and say we have been hit too hard, especially when Greenburg said that the Commission has asked for tougher sanctions, just because it is my team that got hit 1st.

Parramatta was also hit harder.

Even if the Tigers have made a huge error and this is all a mistake, the way in which they broke the rules looks like they have purposefully breached the cap for an advantage.

As i have said all along, if we are guilty then we deserve our punishment.
It just stinks that the "tougher penalties" application isn't also used for bringing the game into disrepute/damage to the game or whatever they call it these days ie: Greg Inglis. Same goes for Bromwich and Proctor, Melbourne reluctantly stood Bromwich down for 2 games or something didn't they? Wonder why the NRL's tougher stance didn't hit a bit more savagely on that occasion also? They pick and choose when to wield the whipping-stick for some reason.
Looking forward to seeing what penalties Cronulla and Manly cop under this new "tougher stance" BS, surely they will be receiving crippling sanctions? We will see. IMO the ol' wet lettuce will be brandished under some pathetic excuses and gobbledegook the NRL are experts in the art of.

As for the ARLC commissioners: with Junior being one it is no surprise Mitchell Junior Junior got off very lightly indeed for what many people suspect was a bit more intricate than what was passed off by the NRL heirachy.

And as for Parramatta: they were paying players cash from merchandise sales so they were under zero illusion that they were blatantly cheating the system. They got what they deserved. If WT get found to have BLATANTLY cheated, we as fans can't complain. Whether or not it is proven to be blatant is the big question mark.

The NRL believe that the Wests Tigers were blantantly cheating, that is why they have been hit hard. If we can show we didn't purposefully breach the cap then I'm sure that will be taken into consideration.

I don't trust that they will mate. And yes I have wanted them to come down much harder on clubs that are cheating, it's just got to be consistently. They need to finalise whatever is going on with other clubs, Sharks etc. If they come down on them like a ton of bricks, it will go a long way to restoring some credibility in their findings,

I believe it doesn't look good for us and can understand the NRL believing we were cheating because it looks dodgy as. I agree that the NRL needs to be consistent moving forward.

I definately don't think that, but I'm not going around thinking the Tigers did no wrong just because I support the club.

The Tigers offered Farah a very very lucrative role after football, for some reason they did not disclose that information to the NRL, which was all they needed to do and infact hid the contract from the NRL.

Why would they do that? really the options are.
1\. They made a huge mistake and accidentally broke the rules.

2\. The role after football was an inducement for Farah to leave, which needs to be included in the cap.

3\. The role was to compensate for a lost TPA, which needs to be included in the cap.

4\. The role was an inducement to have Farah return to the club at a future date, which needs to be included in the cap.

Now Greg Inglis announces his retirement and states he will work at the club when he finishes playing, that does not mean that the Rabbits have broken any rules as you can seek approval for after football roles. The Tigers are in trouble because they didn't seek approval.

Now if it turns out that there is no contract, then the NRL have messed up and that will be put forward by the Tigers when they present their case.

It's not about what we did or did not do. It's about how the NRL is dealing with us, compared to how they deal with other clubs. That's what is so frustrating.

They were punished harsher because they did worse things.

The severity of the punishment to the Tigers was over the TOP!!!!
