Pascoe sanctioned by the NRL

@ said:
I wouldn't be so quick to paint Pascoe as the innocent wronged party. Maybe the punishment is draconian but you don't get these kind of punishments for sloppy paperwork and/or misunderstandings. There must be a reasonable amount of evidence to support both the accusations and penalties.

That's my principle worry.

Don't think anyone's listening mate

Consistency is all we ask.

Lets just say the facts are 100% true and Pascoe is a lying cheating mongrel. Are you trying to tell me he is a lone wolf in the NRL? Now I don't believe he is a deliberate cheat, but I'm certain other clubs do have deliberately cheating CEO's.

I just want consistent treatment. Treat us like you treat the Broncos, Roosters, Storm, and others. Its a joke.

9 News just went with the story of there being a contract which was very difficult for the NRL to locate.

People may be, but that's not going to help our club. Anonymous forum or not, you never know who you might influence.
 
Cam Smith played a testimonial match earlier this year, which wasn’t a part of the Storms Cap, but we get slugged for this?????
Yep, sounds fair

You seem quick to condemn and back the NRL. I don't trust them one bit and want to see the proof. If Pascoe has deliberately done irregular actions then fine, but if inadvertent errors or even innocent, then this is not cool. I will not hang him and leave him to rot without at least seeing what the NRL has.

That is the way it is these days can not even wait for a response.. dead man walking .If he has been caught out well bad luck but the man should be able to defend himself at least !

I'm not quick to form any conclusion. But from what I'm told this isn't a matter of inadvertent error.
 
Farah has gone next level now removed a CEO. The punishment is over the top a financial penalty should have been the maximum for a technical breach. We are not over the salary cap.

I don't understand the issue you have. I'm not influencing anyone.

Not Farah's fault. The issue is not a technical breach. The accusation and subsequent penalties are reflective of the alleged concealment.

Probably not. I'll be at the bar then if anyone needs me…

Not saying anything mate. Just relating my understanding of things. Seems pretty clear the NRL were looking for a target to demonstrate their big stick approach to cap fraud. Is it fair? Probably not. Life's not fair either. The NRL certainly isn't.

Anyway your beef isn't with me.

Now we're getting down to business.

Could Farah's return to the club last year spark the interest of the NRL?

Unless we are paying him significantly less than market value and agreed to pay him overs in this ambassador role (When he is not under the salary cap) i cannot see an issue with this.

Playing devils advocate here.

Who's to say we didn't release him to Souths to free up salary cap space with the intention of him returning in 2019 at a reduced rate with a previous promise of a job after retirement.

I know that is not true but they are the theories people would be spouting if this was another club in this situation.

Only issue with this theory is that Farah would have a dispensation of his salary due to length of service which would then be lost due to change of club therefore nullifying the advantage you’ve mentioned.

This whole saga is absolute garbage on so many fronts!

Yes the punishment is excessive but the way in which we handled the situation in the first place in applying for dispensation due to Farah being destabilising whilst offering the destabilising influence a job after he finishes playing is just ridiculous.

With regard to the clubs comment about not knowing Farah’s intention about a role post footy being in contradiction to the NRL saying they have a signed contract it is very possible there is a signed contract from the club and Pascoe that Farah has yet to sign.

As most of us know a contract needs to be signed by both parties therefore Farah/Ayoub could very well have a “signed” contract which only has one signature on it, Pascoe’s.

So the club has lied in its statement then , is this the mail .

I'm loathe to comment on what certain individuals did or did not do. As I understand it the issue at hand is the alleged concealment of guaranteed payments. The alleged concealment was not just concealed to the NRL I understand. That's the allegation. Whether this version or the WT version is correct, dunno…

Great news! Hope they don’t find it. It’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove.

How good would it be if the Tigers are vindicated of any wrong doing THEN sue the NRL for wrongful persecution and defamation. Then I hope Pascoe does the same. Imagine our salary cap position and the rub of the green we’d get from the refs.

Sounds lovely I think. Questions, comments, thoughts?
