The NRL really hate Manly don’t they. When will they realise that the area of the northern beaches is almost lost to other codes and that the people of the area are unite affluent and will boost any code they support.

Can't wait to see the Sharks "penalty" from Toddles, 50c fine and $1 from their salary cap spread over 5 years.

We have to rename Brookvale to West Curl Curl and watch the government and NRL monies roll in

 

[The Wheel]

Yep no such leniency for us despite us no breaching the cap by 1 cent!

Cap reductions over two seasons to really rub it in!

The sharks will get a “tough” sanction yet somehow not have to shed a player.

I still don’t quite understand the Tigers matter. If Farah didn’t accept the offer to be an ambassador post career at the Bunnies, then I don’t see where the harm is. Yes, the Tigers should have reported it (if obliged) but the sanction still seems completely disproportionate (I actually take the reduction in penalty as the NrL saying that they got it wrong but that they won’t admit it).

 

[Ranga]

I retract my comment above. The sharks will get hit with a wet lettuce.

350k a year for the next two is hardly nothing?

I don’t know how to read these punishments - 350k each year or 175k per year? When we got done, they announced it as a 660k reduction in salary cap for the next two years but took a while to clarify it was 330k a year.

Now Todd has finally confirmed what we all thought, that he is not concerned with consistency, we can all just get used to headlines like these right up until he and beattie are the last ones left.


Actually, those two would be long gone if, say for example, the next tv deal isn't enough for them to continually line their pockets.

Yeah......now I'm not sure, I read it as 350k per season so 700k.

But if it is 350k in total than that is nonsense

Toddy favours Greenburg.

its 350k per season the same as Manly's last year.

Or the threat of an AFLX team playing at brookvale . Then we’ll have protect the new heartland of rugby league the northern beaches and yes the money will flow in.

[Mark from Brisbane]

It just confirms that we really are right down the bottom of the “ favourites”.

 

[master blaster]

Yet the club cops it, instead of having a shot at Toddy for our different scenario. Where was the, other clubs have a right to be angry with the Sharks, the Tigers for potentially stopping the other clubs from signing a certain player. No but the club stays silent
