Salary Cap Witch Hunt. **Appeal unsuccessful**

[HappilyManly]

Ten are reporting the same thing. The club being 'raided'.

How can the NRL 'raid' the club when the police themselves said there isnt enough evidence to warrant an investigation.

"I will go in (to the NRL), sure," Penn said. "We have nothing to hide. I rang Todd 10 days ago and said 'come down next week, what do we have to do to wrap this up as quickly as possible?'. He said 'we have to work through a process'.

So the NRL process is to call an invite for a 'forensic audit' a 'raid'

 

[COMMANDER]

This police task force is a joke and should be shut down after extending unreserved apologies to our Club. What a pack of amateurs.

You'd think they'd have more important things to do, like solving murders rather than making enquires into salary cap breaches in the NRL.

The Moose would be appalled at the way Channel Rex is reporting these days.

 

[Danly Manly]

**** these ****s!

A points strip coming I feel.

The Jurkers comments on the cap situation:

Salary cap investigation could get ugly for Manly


Should Maniy be worried about the NRL's salary cap investigation?

Yes, very worried. This could get ugly.

The problem for the Sea Eagles is that while the current set-up is squeaky clean, they don't know exactly what a few 'rogue' operators got up to a few years ago.

So why would Manly be responsible for the actions of rogue employees

Lurker needs a refresher in logic

Will they take all the points or only 12 like eels. I feel it coming as well. Parra was in the exact same situation denying everything.

Fark me drunk channel 9 are a shifty mob,there reporting similar cap breaches by our club similar to those slime bag of a club dosenmatta,what proof have these swamp maggots got on us,channel slime stop bringing our club down.

 

[Bird of Prey]

If they do get us on some trumped up charge by god they had better get after "the other clubs" . I will not waver my support for the players and the club not matter what happens , there is always another season next year people.

Rules are rules and if we cheated I hope the penalty is huge.

If we done nothing wrong, get it over with, and get on with the game.

I like most of you are unhappy with the media coverage of this investigation. Putting aside my emotions on this subject, I hope the NRL get this done and if there are irregularities found, then the perpetrators are dealt with appropriately as we do not need this crap at our club.

This whole thing seems to be smoke and mirrors and the allegations are flimsy it seems.

Cool heads are needed right now, let's not jump the gun and let the process as flawed as we all see it take its course.

I no evidence is uncovered then the club needs to move on ASAP and the NRL must assist that process or run the risk of one of their brands being damaged irrefutably.

 

[Danly Manly]

Nothing bad will happen to Manly. I am officially betting my soul on this one right here right now. It is all a big load of %hit!

 

[Kevinward777]

Paul Kent and Ben Ikin are absolutely carving up the NRL and police investigation regarding payments made. Ikin said are they going to investigate all the other clubs who are supposed to have done the same thing. Kent called the NRL raid as just Goons trying to make some noise and look good. Also said the NRL should back Manly instead of going on a witch hunt. These two are good, decent reporting and it would appear devoid of prejudice.

 

[HappilyManly]

NRL360 Kent is really giving it to Greenturd.

'Manly was audited and cleared, then they called in the NRL last week to look at their books again.
What do the NRL do?
They turn up as goons, making a show of being proactive'

'The sole allegation came from some disgruntled Businessman'

 

[niccipops]

Points stripping? Parra were very over the cap last year. If Manly aren't over the cap this year how does points stripping make sense?
Go Manly!
F. you Toddy!

Agree Ikin can be painful but generally pretty balanced. He no longer raves about Bennett funny that. Kent is the best of the journos more cred than Webster and Rothfool

 

[mave]

Any journo is great, when they are saying what we want to hear.

I dont recall Kent being so great during previous " crisis"...

They can all fk right off.

Bingo. Also how about investigating some corrupt inside traders and politicians.

We won't be getting stripped of anything. The clowns realize that they have nothing. They are just hyping it up for now instead of having to admit that they screwed up by making false allegations from the very beginning.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

They will probably strip us of 4 points so the Eels can get ahead of us.
