[Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

Watmough is the obvious one. Not playing ATM and on big $.

Word of the day

schadenfreude

made all the more enjoyable by the serendipitous irony that it was Whatnow's TPA that brought the whole house of cards tumbling down.

They have got a gem in Norman. Parra will/should increase his payment before letting him go. It is difficult to make up the short fall with lesser players as at this stage of the season as who would wanted them just as back up? Look at the players we shopped around and no one wanted them.

CAN Anthony Watmough retiring fix Parramatta’s salary cap crisis? YES.



He is on $700,000 and the club is $570,000 over the cap this year.

The former Sea Eagles star has not played this year because of a knee injury,

“Any player that suffers a career-ending injury – as long as the salary cap auditor is satisfied that it’s genuine – with medical certificates - they can be remove from the cap,” said head of integrity Nick Weeks.

The NRL has ruled out pay cuts from players to get the club under the cap.

What gets me is the information supplied to the NRL was given up by Parramatta factions not in power but keen to gain control.

Should be called the Parramatta Rats, not the Eels. What an abysmal organisation they are.

But his $$$ still count against their cap until another club agrees to pay some or all of it. Who's going to sign Watmough???

I don't think any club would be in a position themselves cap-wise, at this stage of the season, to pay a significant portion of any of their top earners. Most likely scenario is they shed 5-6 low level / fringe players who are on around $200K for around 50% of their value, ie Eels pay $100K, new club pays $100K. Not something that's going to overnight IMO and I would say it would be at least a month or more before they're playing for points.

Obvious solution, hope that the Insurer does not accommodate them 🙄

Lets hope that their insurer is cominsure as they don't even pay legitimate claims let alone dodgy ones

 

[ricardo]

Fined for salary cap breaches five of the past six years wow

 

[HoldenV8]

Fined for salary cap breaches five of the past six years wow

And their moron fans on social media STILL think they are being extremely hard done by.

They have no one to blame but the club itself.

Shows that the NRL Cap Auditor is not thorough/qualified enough 😎

I see corey norman (probably the manger) is the first to come out and cry scared that they may have to lose him because of the salary cap fiasco.

As it's only 570k....surely they dump a few lesser players (like the storm did) - the storm didn't lose their big three!

'Greenturd' I will be very proud if parramatta win the premiership this year. What a crock of s**t

Haha uhhh have to agree with that! If you deal with them - get EVERYTHING in writing!

 

[Loobs]

Just remember - it's 12 points NOW. But if they argue it for weeks and lose then it's the 12 plus every win they get till they finally suck it up and get under the cap.

What did Greenburg just say about the for and against points- I missed it....

They'll flick their lesser players this fortnight - that's why the NRL held off till the Test break round.

 

[Simonmyers11]

12 points! there season is over! and have to shed over 500k of players immediately!

Makes manly chances of making the eight a lot better! Happy days!

Dunno - they have some very stubborn people running that place.

The points are stripped - all zero balance.

Their Ladder points will not record anything till they get under the Cap - currently -570k

Penalty won't kick in for 7 days as Parra have the right of an appeal.
