Bulldogs and Raiders fined for breaching NRL salary cap

[Blucky]

From Fox Sports:

CANTERBURY and Canberra have been slugged with fines by the NRL for salary cap breaches.
Canterbury have been fined $61,474 for breaching the NRL cap by $81,965 last year, with the NRL saying the fine was 75 per cent of the breach amount because the club had self-reported.

Canberra were fined $16,037 for breaches of the second-tier and NYC caps from last year in addition to a $68,073 fine for breaches of the 2015 NRL and NYC caps.

The NRL says the Raiders have a poor record of compliance with salary cap rules having recorded breaches in five of the last six years.

Canberra’s chief executive Don Furner said “unforeseen circumstances” were to blame for the variety of breaches over the two years.
“Due to changes to the club’s rosters during this period and injuries which forced squad changes, the club was forced to make some unplanned player movements which have forced minor breaches of the salary cap,” Furner said in a statement.
He said the club would continue to work with the NRL to manage the salary cap in accordance with the rules and regulations.

“It’s unfortunate that we’ve had to endure these fines, but the club accepts the NRL decision regarding these breaches,” he added.

The clubs have five business days to request a review from the NRL Appeals Committee.

"Unforeseen circumstances"

Yeah....like the circumstance that they got caught!!!!

And a discount for self reporting? The salary cap dude should catch them anyway. This is like the cop shows where helping the cops will get a good word with the d.a.

If you're the raiders and get done 5 out of 6 years....then ****! you gotta give them a bigger penalty!

And the raiders had to pay 150% !!!!

The greenburg strikes again.

And even then the raiders fine came to about 16 grand!

6 points minimum should stop the rot.


....The Bulldogs’ breach of the cap in 2016 was far more substantial, going over the NRL cap by $81,965 in 2016.

wow

WTF, that's a total league minimum top 25 player and then some ! Why do we even bother. Now they magically acquire BOTH Woods and Foran, but it's business as usual.

Dib has that kind of cash in his back pocket. Nice slap on the wrist NRL.

It really is ridiculous how he is allowed to let them pass past this with only a little fine... take points off of them, hurt them, make them care to not do it again. Once again showing greenturds inability to lead the nrl efficiently.

It's not just once these clubs have been over the cap.. like ffs then properly punish them you ****whit
