Weren't Penrith having financial difficulties, under or close to administration, likewise with Cronulla whilst still making finals?Yes and no.
Melbourne cheated.
Penrith are probably a good example of excellent administrators whereas the other top clubs are gifted favours in my opinion. A consequence of some conflicts of interest that are as obvious as dogs nads.
Manly having board upheavals and under investigation for sports science issues whilst successful.
Melbourne and Canterbury were under NRL administrators however the dogs won a premiership and Melbourne remained successful.
Troubles in the front offices of those clubs didn't affect their recruitment, development or on field fortunes it seemed.
