Pascoe sanctioned by the NRL

I hope our cap sanction gets dropped, the sharks get their cap sanctioned and we lure Woods back.

No thanks. It is what it is.

They mentioned it on radio today… Storm over the cap and. Last player resigned was scam smyth… Talk sharks re-signed segeyaro on minimal contract (150k)because their last player signed before segs was Shaun johnson…preferable to. Lose segs than SJ

Yeah but if they are already over the cap, under this rule wouldn't they lose both of them?

A report claims Melbourne has a lot more on the line than the future of big-bopper Sam Kasiano on the line in its salary cap crunch for round one.

The Daily Telegraph revealed recently the Storm have been shopping the prop around to rival clubs in a bid to squeeze under the 2019 salary cap.

The Storm’s full cap crisis was laid bare on Tuesday morning by Triple M NRL commentator Ben Dobbin, who told Triple M’s Big Breakfast that the club is $600,000 over the 2019 cap.

He reported the club is desperate to find a new home for Kasiano because the NRL recently threatened the club with being excluded from the opening round of the season on March 14 if they are still not salary cap compliant.

The NRL’s other tool for dealing with clubs who are over the cap heading into the start of a season would see the Storm lose captain Cameron Smith, who was the last player to sign on with the Storm for the 2019 season.

Melbourne’s salary cap crunch comes with the Sharks reportedly set to face a salary cap reduction of up to $500,000 for their salary cap scandal which reportedly dates back to cap breaches in 2015.

This is from NEWS.com website.

Thanks for clearing that up, Bathurst.

On a different tangent, don't tell me Kasiano is on anything near 600k.

I know that you can't believe everything that you read on the web, but you would hope a supposedly reputable (LOL)Media outlet like NEWS would get the facts correct.

And we think that we pay overs for some players.:rofl:

 

[hammertime]

I'm sure we would welcome the fox home if Melbourne want to offload some players.

Big day tomorrow.. fingers crossed

Wondering why the Storms CEO has not been stood down and deregistered by Toddy and his mate?

The NRL havent concluded their investigation yet, same with the Sharks, we are much further along than they are.

 

[Tiger_Steve]

But there’s a point here hey? When those investigations are concluded, if there have been breaches, the CEO’s must be stood down. A precedent has now been set!

If they were involved, then yes they should be.

 

[gallagher]

Are the storm being investigated for cheating the cap?

There are reports that they are currently over, but they may be under by the start of the season.

 

[gallagher]

So they either get under or the NRL tell them the last contract/contracts signed don't get registered. I don't see how the CEO will be deregistered.

Which is why I replied with if the CEO os involved in cheating then he should be suspended, I was replying to someone asking why he hadnt been dregistered.

 

[newtiger]

Correct, the NRL just won't register the last player signed.

 

[gallagher]

Correct, the NRL just won’t register the last player signed.

Cheers, think I mis-read a few posts.

I heard on radio that Kasiano is on big bucks because of a heavily back-ended contract for 2019.
