Rugby league fans of all clubs can make the decision for the NRL if they aren't capable of handing out a sufficient penalty to the Eels themselves. Walk out on games as they did in the A-League. It's a PR disaster for the league and certainly gets a point across. I'm no A-League fan but I certainly noticed that.
I find it disgusting that it has even been suggested that CH9 is pressuring them to be lenient on Parra because of the number of games they have scheduled (9 in the first 20 rounds) and the ratings they bring. Tough sh*t, they have control of the draw which is what they always wanted. If these guys are cheating the salary cap, the punishment has to fit the crime, or else risk losing the fans. NRL has to ensure the Eels can't play finals footy this year plain and simple.
