[Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

[HappilyManly]

If it couldn't get any more dour for Parra, their next game is Friday 13th

 

[lsz]

So the guys who were to be sacked took out an injunction only on their jobs? Not the fine, or the docking of points - just to keep their jobs that no one wants them to keep..? FMD this lot is a disgrace.

How else could they help "save" the club...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I'm really dissapointed it's not zero points for 2016.

You can blame Chan Nein for that !!

The Media are conveniently ignoring the fact that the Parra Captain is in rehab, that the rest of the players do not have the winning culture that the Scumos had to continue to compete, and that the self interest of their Board will drag out the required player shedding required for them acrew points

If they feature in the finals this year then I will stop following Rugby League altogether because it's corrupt.

I cannot believe there are people in the media and Eels fans crying foul over being punished? I'd rather one club's supporter base be punished, then punish the fans of the 15 other clubs who played by the rules. What is unfair is the hype and media jerking off over how wonderful Parramatta have been to start the year and watching them celebrate a victory at Brookvale oval and dance around with a trophey in Auckland, all done while cheating!!

True, but I can see the logic of the ruling. They lose all the points they won with a team over the cap. And can only start getting more points IF they can shed players and get below the cap.

So if we say finish level with them on 28 points for example and we miss out on the finals due to for and against, would you be happy missing out to a team that was for part of the season deemed illegal? This is a potential minefield for the NRL.

Board for an injunction via the Supreme Court to stay. Joke.

Given the media's moral compass they would be too busy hailing the magnificent achievement of Parra fighting back through adversity.

 

[mozgrame]

How good is this? Just 3 points behind the Knights!!!
WOOOP WOOOP!!

So, if they get Watmough to retire, they'll be pretty much saved?

HOW WATMOUGH CAN SAVE EELS

THE retirement of Eels star Anthony Watmough could be the key to saving Parramatta’s season.

The club’s salary cap nightmare means it must release up to $570,000 from its books to be eligible for competition points.

The Daily Telegraph reports part of Watmough’s $700,000 salary could be written off the club’s salary cap for this season if his forced retirement from a debilitating ongoing knee injury is approved by the NRL.

“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,” Weeks said.

You know what bugs the sh*t out of me about that?

The dude with the big hair who's on Foxsports all the time (name escapes me, played for $ouffs as well), was talking about going through all this, and when questioned about how it felt having titles stripped just laughed and said "it doesn't matter, we know we won, they can't take that off us, still got the premiership tattoo and stuff har har har"....

Kinda makes my blood boil: you still take pride in winning a comp while cheating? Pull your stupid head in and your stupid white man Afro you peanut..

Greenturd on 360
Reading between the lines on what he said I think he believes that they won't get it all in order by the end of next week so will loose points and of the board members don't stand down they will still no get any points
I think they will loose more than the current 12

Wrong I'm afraid. On NRL360 the players just confirmed they are paid November to October. That means that 7/12ths has already been counted in the cap. So they need to cut $570,000 from 5 months of payments. That means they need to lose players with a contract value of $1,368,000 to get to $570,000. In other words 5/12ths of $1,368,000 = $570,000.

How can they keep their for and against, but lose their points?

Think about this, the players (including Choc) have already been paid maybe a third of the year's salary. So to get under the cap they will need to shed a fair bit more than $570k worth of salaries. So it's not just Choc (even if they could somehow do this legally) but also a few smaller players from the 25. THEN they would need to replace them with really cheap players, possibly putting pressure on their second tier salary cap.

LOL @ Faecalmatta

 

[HappilyManly]

NRL360 did't ask why the for/against is maintained?
I am bamboozled by this, as this could act like pseudo game points should Parra tie for equal 8th.😕

Lets hope the court case drags on

Retaining the for and against is the total joke part of this penalty. It's their life support so they can potentially win this season after cheating for the first nine weeks. How can the NRL not rationalise this?
I sort of wish I liked soccer or AFL - but I find them boring.
The NRL is just plain corrupt.
