Storm $600K over salary cap for 2019

[The Wheel]

I am sure Storm will be able to off load one of their minor players which they have been underpaying for years so they can accommodate 3 future millionaire immortals under the cap.

 

[Disco]

Only a chump would take Kasiano

In this situation you don't take the player they are trying to offload you squeeze them

Drinkwater
Scott
Ado carr
Vuni
NAS

 

[The Who]

We certainly need an outside back more than we need another big forward.
But what makes anyone think we have any spare money? Or are you factoring in the NRL helping us out?

Given, as stated in the DT (questionable at best I know) with the Cronulla cap issues:

".... the club will be unable to use star recruit Shaun Johnson until they are cap-compliant due to the NRL’s ‘first in, first out’ rule which states a club can’t use the most recent player signed until they are back under the cap."

Applying to the Storm their last one in was Cam Smith .... wouldn't that be a shame.

Sharks just scammed that by signing Segeyaro today

Media reports suggest Storm are trying to offload players to get under cap before start of season, if no takers the NRL will sideline Cam Smith.

Hmmm where's the fine?

anyway - I'm beside myself over the issue…..

I suppose no fine's been imposed is because the season hasn't started yet

So the Melbourne Drizzle are yet again over the cap, wonder what sanction the NRL will impose?? Its all right news limited will merely write it off as a debt, Frigging pathetic!!! Our club was dragged through the mud over our investigation and it will take years to recover, this lot just carry on with their win at all costs mentality and the joke to NRL fans is that Greenturd says it is a fair and even comp, when we all know it is not the case. Another black eye for the game and this again happens during Greenturds tenure as CEO. When are the clubs going to understand that he and his mate Beattle need to be flicked and we need a review of the salary cap and how it works, I am writing a bleeding obvious solution to fix this and the game needs to deal with this. No Real Leadership!!!

How funny has rugby league become?
Cronulla the latest to take the p*ss.
I can see a TV series from it: "Clueless"

I am doing a masters degree in sports management and I have just done last year a paper on this exact subject you are referring to gamership model where clubs go to extreme length to win matches and gain competitive advantages by any means possible and disregarding the games integrity.

To me the Melbourne Storm just are a very protected team and while Todd is here nothing will change.

It is again examples like is why the game is losing so many fans and members more now than ever. Really even if Todd was to to be kicked out of the game I would not trust the new administration at all, there is way to much self interest at play in administrators of this sport.

How about, “I’ve spoken to the Storm and it seems there is some ambiguity over what guaranteeing a third party deal means. The storm only agreed to source third party sponsors on a best endeavours basis, so I can see why they made that mistake. It’s not clear so we will clear the rule up, you have my word on that, because we don’t want good honest clubs like the storm going through this uncertainty. I apologise to the storm, their sponsors, members and fans for any distress caused.”

As the last one signed, he is in the same situation as Johnson at Cronulla. Can you imagine the scrambling at NRL headquarters to not have to do that to a former Australian skipper? He held out for more cash & it might just bite him in the Payne Haas!

 

[robbiea]

Serial offenders ,kick em out of the comp.......

Exactly what I thought when I read it.

 

[castle eagle]

greenturd will probably let the storm set their own punishment, like the broncos did with payne hass

They're protected , because having a team in Melbourne gives the deluded NRL the legitimacy they've always craved for in having a national competition to rival the AFL.

 

[Woodsie]

Curtis Scott, the one that belted Walker? How ironic might that become!

That was my point ....

 

[niccipops]

They're funded by the NRL. Says it all.
They have ruined the comp since joining. They had their fluke early GF win before all the rorting started. Then they've been in the finals every firken year since. They've changed the way the game is played with their dirty tactics.
They are protected purple scum.
I do not like!
