Salary Cap Witch Hunt. **Appeal unsuccessful**

[lsz]

If we have done what is alleged then we are lucky to not receive a more harsh penalty

 

[SeaEagle21]

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.

500K is massive for private owners imo, that will hurt the club big time

Todd is throwing mud in regards to Bob Fulton.

"He was heavily involved in contract negations during the period investigated".

Either he's part of it or he's not you prick.

 

[Mitch]

Approz 15 players involved.

Baz is not involved and has complied with the investigation.

He is clear.

Actually he copped an official warning, from the nrl.com article. Not sure what can be drawn from that.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Cant touch Bob as he’s not a offical officially lol

The nrl is a joke

 

[Mitch]

$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.

$330k each year. But I agree, I’d rather whack straight away not one that flows into next year.

 

[Moops]

No wonder we wouldn't hand over the phones Bozo was cheating and his phone had evidence he is clearly as dumb as our cricket captain.

It was always suspicious about Fulton stepping down last year. Barrett has to deal with the fallout.

 

[Supreme Leader]

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

NO its $660K EACH year

 

[Eagles2nv]

Manly can appeal, and its in their hands to pursue an appeal.

Turd has said Manly are cap compliant and therefore cannot be deducted points.

Either he's part of it or he's not you prick.

Bob's been VERY quiet lately!!

 

[HappilyManly]

Don't tell me Bozo was involved in shady dealings?

Manly will celebrate with free lobster dinner

 

[Eagles2nv]

The big issue is there was a number of undisclosed payments to players and therefore disadvantage to other clubs.

I really hope we win the comp with a smaller cap.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Player agents involved but yeah the nrl won’t touch them

 

[Cameron]

Immortal cheat

 

[Mitch]

NO its $660K EACH year

I don’t believe so. This from Brad Walter who is a journo for NRL.com

Manly have been fined $750k and will be forced to operated on a salary cap of $330k below other clubs for the next 2 seasons over breaches totalling $1.5m over 5 years.

 

[Moops]

NO its $660K EACH year

Is it $660,000 each year, or $330,000? If it is $660,000 for 2018/19 then ouch!!!

 

[Jatz Crackers]

If we have done what is alleged then we are lucky to not receive a more harsh penalty

And you would like to think that at some point Penn would be addressing that issue of guilt or innocence in his public statements after he has already come out previously stating we have done nothing deliberate and they are only questionable technical breaches.

This is also from the official NRL.com article:

• A $660,000 penalty to be applied to the club's salary cap. This will affect the club's salary cap this year and next year;

 

[fLIP]

LMFAO. Player agents arent regulated by us.

Is it $660,000 each year, or $330,000? If it is $660,000 for 2018/19 then ouch!!!

$660k overall. If we’re 800k under this year, it would be nice to operate under the restrictions for 2018 only.
