Again from Ritchie

BREAKING: Manly deducted $600,000 from their salary cap over two seasons. Club fined $750,000 with $250,000 suspended.

So it seems like we may be hamstrung again in 2019. Great stuff.

I love 'suspended fines'... its like lets make it look like we will give you a bigger penalty, but really we will make it smaller.

I cant remember the last time someone actually breach their 'suspenion'.
 
Im confused. If those fines were in years when Kelly was here, how are we being penalised 3 years after his departure on the cap.

Only answer is players under contract with promised 3rd party are still at the club. If it was promised to them the NRL will add that to the cap. Fair too imo.

Bulldog Ritchie, who would have already been passed information given the club would now be aware, tweeted the we are facing larger salary cap deduction although amount suspended.
And that’s my point. A lot of huffing and puffing, and a large suspended cap penalty. The NRL look to be coming down on us hard but in reality they’re like a toothless dog, big on the bark.
 
Looks like we’re working with less cap next year.

From Brent Read

Manly salary cap sanctions - club has been fined $750,000, chief operating officer Neil Bare and former chief executive Joe Kelly have been de-registered for 12 months. Penalty of $660,000 to be applied - $330,000 each year
 
From press conference:

Breach of $1.5M

750K fine - 250k Suspended if we enforce new governance measures.

660K salary cap reduction this year and next.

Neil Suspended 12 months. As is Joe Kelly for 9.

We are compliant this year and therefore no points deducted.
 
$1.5 million paid outside cap.
$750K Fine / $250k suspended.
$650K deducted from 2018 and 2019 caps.
 
$660k cap fine for next two years... Farkin wow! Worse punishment than the Eels at the end of the day. We would have been better off losing 12 points.
