Parramatta Eels salary cap: Club waiting on outcome of Anthony Watmough contract issue

[StuBoot]

All the problems in the paper were his "other" knee. Will not help the insurer but will help with the spin

Maybe he could have a chat to Mick "Three Knees" Hancock.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

You mean it might not be his knee?

Well it's certainly not mine. I wonder whose it is?

 

[Dan]

Well I have to go to the doctor when I get back from work next week, so it might be my knee. If so its the right one

 

[HappilyManly]

Elle Watmough just on 7 News saying that Choc's not happy about his forced retirement.🙄

Got to feel for Peats, he us being shopped around but wants to stay till his contract finishes this year.
Apparently, Parra took back a Sponsor's car from him last year to clear last year's Cap issues 😕

Better than Wright's knee.

No wonder he's got a hurty knee. Long walk to parra from narabeen.

Thanks for the response Peter,

I cant picture any insurance co willingly handing out a couple of mil. The company will most certainly fight If somebody asserts that his injury was "new". They will be trying to prove that it is "old". It could take YEARS!

True, and it could take years in court, however the matter will be between Parra and the insurer, Parra is still obligated under the existing contract to pay Watmaugh out.

I said last week in a post that choc should be very upset if he is forced into retirement and ask Arthur for a massive please explain. I didn't buy choc's interview on Friday. If he wanted to retire he would have done it three months ago. This is not sharp or Boulos. This is on BA's head. He signed choc for 4 years with full knowledge of his knee problems.

As far as Peats goes, if the Eels are going to get under the cap by Friday night, he would have to be released, a new club would have to agree to terms with him and the NRL would have to register it. In 3 days. Likely or not? Because if not, the Eels now have to win 12/14.

Plus the cooling off period. Peats could change his mind in the 13 th hour.

Trouble is, the NRL seem to be bending over backwards to accommodate Parra, look at the sham around Watmaugh's contract

Peter, they don't seem to be, Greenturd has actually stated that the NRL will do everything in their power to assist Parra, be compliant.

I hope it's yours, apparently it's worth a couple mil, (and that could buy a lot of hamsters Dan)

Is he a divine wind?

More like a fart in an elevator.

So can't be this car then as he got this one 8 weeks ago (according to his Instagram post)!!!

 

[globaleagle]

I read it as they took back Peats' car.

Peats was the one who was asked to return a car.
Now he is asked to piss of quick😎

Other (ex)Parra Players are starting to rumble at his treatment

Puts body on the the line every week, plays with broken neck for 60 minutes for the team.. Rewarded with tap on the shoulder. Makes sense.

I wonder if that car was part of a TPA? Can you get a new car if you are unable to play and should retire..?

Oops sorry. When I saw the word Choc and car in the same post I was reminded of Choc's instagram post of him grinning as he was driving off in his new car (which I would assume came from a sponsor).

How is Choc's knee able to safely press the break pedal ?

Well at least the Gang of Five have pissed off the NRL enough for them to refuse to backdate Choc's retirement.😛

The fact Peats is off contract with the Eels at the end of the season is the reason he was identified as the player to be squeezed out after the NRL refused to back date Anthony Watmough's retirement to cover the full $570,000 they need to reduce from their salary cap before the club can begin playing for competition points.
