The Storm Rorting Super Thread.....

The extent of this investigation will be interesting.

Waldron & IMO Ribot have had the biggest part to play in this and I think there is no way that Bellamy and the big money players did not know that getting money on the sly from outside sources was a calculated breach.

Anyway there has been a low voice for years about the goings on at the Storm and now it has been exposed.

Ron the major amount was spent in the season just past
 
Even broken down it is the equivalent of a marquee player completely outside the cap
 
whats the point of playing on for the rest of the season…. hahaha
.... now to go to school and hear my mate ... talk about how... parra wouldve won the GF if ... storm didnt cheat.... ohwell... sucked in to mighty melbourne
 
Incredible news….I cant believe how many times this game gets it's nuts kicked in.

BTW what are you laughing for Geo? this crap aint funny.

Systematic cheating, two sets of files with the true amounts locked away in a secret room….

Brian Waldron will do time for this imo

Massive, a dark day for Rugby League indeed.

VERY DARK BUT VERY BRIGHT MORE BRIGHTER THAN DARK I WOULD SAY.
 
If memory serves me correctly it was 700,000 last season and the penaltyis harsher because of the warning given to clubs after the Bulldogs penalty.

Whether it is bigger is a matter for debate. I think it is safe to say the deliberate and instituionlized effort to cheat had far broader scope in terms of length of time and players involved
 
Along with everyone else… wow! yeah losing 2 premierships and 3 minor premierships... so what exactly will happen there? no premiership winners for '07 and '09? do the minor premierships go then to the teams that came 2nd? Bulldogs once and Eagles twice.

Some big fines, their winnings from these are to be split up evenly and given to the other 15 clubs, 1.5million or something like that, so we'll get a hundred grand or so.

And no further points this year? what will the players think be thinking, what's the point of playing well? I guess they'll be playing for contracts with other clubs potentially.

The NRL has a historical ladder for breaches, they have us listed this year for using an unregistered player in round 1, who was that?

well parra muct be close to being over with the players they have in their team they signed a kid who played 12 FG games to a 250k a year deal, their backline and front row would be close to the salary cap then throw in hindy and mateo and they have inu who plays in reggies whos on 275k a year
 
Kick the sodden cheaters out of the competition for 2 years and that will stop anyone else from thinking about it!…They do it for players!!!!..I hated the Storm before this now I hate them even more!...don't tell me the players and Bellyache didn't know about this either!....I wonder how Scott Prince is sleeping lately??? :smiley:

fitzy, was only registered with NSWRL not the NRL
 
I dislike the Storm as much anyone on here trust me, but this is bad news for the game, truly a massive kick in the guts that the game didn't need. The new TV rights deal is just around the corner and the NRL have just lost some leverage I would imagine.
