Pascoe sanctioned by the NRL

[cochise]

We breached the cap with an undisclosed payment of 639k, that is pretty big.

The breach only occurs once the money has been accepted …no signature ...no acceptance

There are text messages stating that Farah wasnt leaving without the deal being done and the deal was signed the same day as his termination. We stuffed this.

How does the NRL get access to text messages? Emails, if they seize the servers, okay sure, but do they have the capabilities to seize phones?

Very interesting how the nrl received these txt messages and if they were the catalyst.

 

[cochise]

but do they have the capabilities to seize phones?

Yes they do.

I assume there were only two parties to them. Pascoe and…......ayoub.

They could be messages between, board members, ceo, coach etc.

Odds on they approve it like Thurstons Ambassadors role.

Odds on they approve it like Thurstons Ambassadors role

With it being signed on the same day as his termination, they may not have.

You seem to know a lot about this issue.

There is an article posted further up, but I have been saying this all along.

If we hid a contract/s that allowed us better player/s to gain an advantage, sure fine, but all WT possibly did, if at all, was offer to pay extra to benefit another club. I wouldn't care if any club did something similar, as it would not give them an advantage over others.

I think we need to get over this.
WE did not adhere to nrl rules so …. cop the punishment.
That’s life.

It did gain us advantage as an incentive for a player, our coach didnt want at the club, to leave. That issue was further enhanced when Farah returned to the club as it could be then argued that the payment for the role was an inducement for him to come back when our cap position improved.

It's all crazy. Robbie was on $950k a year for two years, so we paid him $750k a year for those 2 years, plus another $639k to make up for apparent TPA payments? How much was Robbie on? $1.2m??

The annoying thing is next time another club gets into trouble, ANY other club, you can bet that they won't get penalties and fines and de-registrations as harsh as we have. Twice now Sharks have had penalties back-dated… and before anyone says 'Oh Pascoe's penalty was backdated', uh no it wasn't, he has been de-registered since December, they only announced this week his six months starts then, until this week it was unending.

I truly believe the Salary Cap penalties need to be equal to the breach.

What part was backdated?

is there a way to ignore a thread?
