Pascoe sanctioned by the NRL

[tonza]

I think we have an NRL infiltrator in our midst.

Why because I do not agree with you?

What post from coivtny don't you agree with?

 

[earl]

I don't believe it to be a minor indiscretion.

I think it's a clear breach and deserves some form of punishment. I just want to see other clubs cop this as well. Inglis staying at Souths and Thurston at the Cowboys are examples of the same thing happening as what we did with Robbie. I don't know how the NRL are going to start policing this rule.

We should never have pushed Robbie out and I don't think Robbie has been a great marquee player for us at all. It was a really poor business decision that we allowed an incompetent coach to make.

Those 2 are different though, players are allowed to work at a club post retirement.

And Robbie is not allowed to work at a club post retirement ?????

Where do you draw the line ? This is the issue. I think we've done the wrong thing but it's not that simple because other clubs do this as well. The issue with us is a technicality but it's wrong.

All I’m reading is ‘you think I think’ stuff.

What date do the Tigers have to appeal or not?

I don't think the other Clubs went cap in hand to the NRL asking for Cap relief for their players claiming they were destabilising figures…only to promise them jobs after footy..

Greg Inglis has announced he will retire at the end of 2020\. He stated he will take up a position with the club at the end of 2020\. How does Greg know there will be a position for him at that time? Sounds a bit fishy to me. Has his job been included in the salary cap? Has clearance been granted by the NRL or is it another case of preferential treatment, which he is often the recipient of.

Do you know clearance hasn't been granted?

I asked the question, has clearance been granted by NRL. Why would I asked that if I knew? Do you know?

I would guess in the current climate they would have been sure to get it approved by the NRL. Offering him a role when announcing his retirement, at the completion of his current contract, is very different to what the Tigers have done.

In the current climate the NRL have done nothing at all. They are an embaressment to sport in particular to rugby league.

There is no set date as such ..the Club have until the end of January to appeal the breach notice..so they can present our case anytime between now and then

I wish they'd hurry up and get an outcome either way, asap. Having this hanging over the club's head can't be doing our pre-season prep any good. The players will vow & declare that it doesn't affect them, but it will.

Maybe not but these other clubs have done much which went unpunished by the NRL. Where is the level field?

Bingo

The NRL must have decreed that he wasn't destabilising since they didn't give cap relief.
So in my mind the NRL cannot use this argument.
Anyway my guess is this was before Taylor was sacked hence the destabilisation then.
Now there is no destabilisation.

As ive said before some of us are just happy to finish 9th. Its a mentality that goes right through to some taking the NRL's side for the ridiculous, unjust and over the top reaction to a minor salary cap indiscretion.

Each to their own and all opinions are valid but im glad im in the group that can see the corruption running through the veins of the current NRL board.

Spot on, we gave the keys to the side to a learner driver, and he crashed the side big time, any person with a small amount of league knowledge could foresee this happening :brick:

Any chance we could ask Greenturd for a character reference for Pascoe?

I have no idea how people can say we've been treated fairly.
The club has been categorised, sanctioned and are probably being investigated similarly to the clubs that paid multiple players under the table. This totally negates any claim the NRL are acting impartially, IMO.

I don't think anybody can disagree that Robbie was destabilizing at that particular time, even cochise. However, were we not entitled to claim the cap relief under the rules at that time? Cant be blamed for trying. Wasn't the ambassador role well before that? People and situations can change very quickly over a short period of time.

 

[JD Tiger]

Absolutely, every team which thinks they have a remote chance at this destabilising reduction would try it for every player that leaves their club. Why not? Nothing ventured nothing gained. They'd be negligent in not doing so.

Unfortunately another big distraction for the players is probably MCK and Musgrove's pending court appearances, but that's our own fault.

They have not been sanctioned in the same category as the majority of the other clubs. Greenburg also stated that the commission has ask them to give tougher penalties so these penalties will have to be compared to the clubs that breach the cap in the future.

No I can't argue that both Farah and Taylor weren't destabilizing.

1) We have been sanctioned over an alleged - or attempted- **breach of the salary cap.**
_Melbourne, Manly and Eels were all done for breaches of the salary cap._
2) Our financial penalties are reflective of this, as they are in the same/similar capacity of those who have systematically rorted the cap.
_Melbourne got fined $300k more than us, Parra $300k less and Manly $600k less_
These are actual solid facts, so IDK how you can deny that we are not being categorised similarly or the same?

Melbourne Canterbury Parramat
ta all received points penalties as well, which I would argue is the bigger penalty I do not know what they were thinking with Manly's penalties as they seemed way too lenient
