WT just cant cut 2 players in reality it would have to be 4 players or one superstar on about 250k, and no this has nothing to do with team selections or match payments, we gone over the cap because the club assumed it would be able to claim the 100k, so there is no excuse for sheens poor team selections, id say the club will just get a fine by the nrl, they wont release any players
Are you guessing about this fine or is Humphreys telling Porkies again…
Humphreys refused to detail how the club will slice $100,000 from its spend and comply with the cap this season. But it's understood releasing players it would otherwise want to keep is a definite option.

Other unpalatable alternatives include asking players to defer a component of their salary, cutting back on match payments or not starting players who have a bonus tied to making a specific number of NRL appearances this year.

"I must say we were given a long and fair hearing by the NRL, but we remain bitterly disappointed," Humphreys said. "The experience has highlighted a fundamental flaw in the interpretation of the rules.
The Club needs to slice 100K from the Salary Cap for this year to remain compliant according to Gallop....
Gallop last night said he was unable to offer the Tigers any dispensation out of fairness to other clubs that had previously applied - unsuccessfully - on the same basis.

"To change that ruling in the case of **Wests Tigers would be to disadvantage other clubs who have not been able to use Jersey Flegg in the past.**"
No excusses all unpalatable options...
See Wests Tigers disadvantage the likes of the Storm, Roosters, Sharkies, St George (not Illawarra) Cowgirls cause we actually develop our Juniors....
Iron Tiger after we missed out on Lima cause the Storm found some extra Dough...the Club upgraded and extended the likes of Moltzen, Lui, Ayshford and Keith.....
