Salary Cap Witch Hunt. **Appeal unsuccessful**

[Kevinward777]

He has to be Toddy,s pet, how on earth would he get the Chief League Reporter job if he wasnt. His hatred toward Manly has resurfaced

His hatred of our club is very apparent.

Dollar for dollar, the worst signing ever, we're still liable because we signed him up for 3 years, we offloaded him to Melbourne last year and they were probably just paying him the minimum and we were making up the rest.
This season Melbourne didn't want him and neither did we, but he still had a contract with us.
I suppose this partially balances out Uate and Sirro who were stillborn paid by their old clubs.

Peter....doesnt he have to actually play ? Somewhere. ..blacktown even...in order to get paid ? Medical retirement I get...either insurance or club pays...may or may not count in in your cap etc ( dependant upon if you play for the eels etc )...but just straight out retirement ? I dont recall this ever happening with any player at any club ...pls explain...anyone..? Or give me an instance where its happened.

It's obvious the dumb f-ucker hasn't watched the godfather...

Hooper on 360 saying the “senior media officials” were briefed separately by the NRL and told Fulton was the “architect”. Seriously, how can anybody with a shred of intelligence or integrity think this is an acceptable way to run this process?

You really have to wonder if these 'jurnalists ' listen to what is actually coming out of their own mouths.

The 3rd party breaches stretch back to 2013. Yet the man brought in during the 2015 season was the 'Chief Architect'.

The ignorance plagued stupidity is what frustrates me the most with this sh*t show. We may well be guilty, but if you decide the front pages of newspapers and you buy whats coming out of the NRL right now, you're a muppet.

Deep down I think that bozo has been in charge of manly since 1983, no matter who the coach, secretary or ceo was.

 

[silvertail]

Dean ritchie just said on Fox

“Manly have until Friday to respond to the NRl, my mail is they will be appealing to the NRL and if that fails they will be taking it above the NRL to the courts on legal grounds”

Great news

 

[joeboy]

I just hope we get on the front foot and announce our intentions tommorrow and ride the anti NRL / pro Fulton sentiment while it is hot. No use waiting till Tuesday when it will have inevitably died down. Control the dialogue goes along way to influencing the outcome. Now is the time to get our ducks in a row and keep the pressure on the NRL

 

[47MVEagle]

What's happened to all the media hate today? The only Manly article i can find is about Api signing a new deal......

I reckon after the initial high spirits & piling on to put the boot in they've all suddenly realised sh*t's just got real with Bozo, Arko & Hadley all speaking up in response.

They'll all be keeping their noses clean until they see what the lie of the land is re: potential legal action for fear they may be targeted for slander/libel.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

@MarkfromBrisbane keep up those tweets buddy! Just reading one of them directed to that nobody "reading the play"

I’m apparently a “ long term goose” now.

But my retort was “ Gerard that’s funny and you gotta do better than that buddy”

So, Goose I am, apparently!!

Jeez mate you’ve sat there and looked on for ??? Years and suddenly you are “ on fire”, good work buddy good work!!

I really can't believe what a dip**** Hoops is. He is digging a very deep grave for himself. He is the propaganda machine of the NRL...he obviously never did an assignment in year 7 where you learnt about media bias and to question what is being told to you.. I think it's gotten to his head that he was one of the "senior media" representatives to be briefed on the NRL "blueprint" before the press conference

Here is the link of video.. Unbelievable

Hahaha.. Keep at it. You must have hit a nerve

 

[HappilyManly]

I agree - surely you cant just decide to retire and still put your hand out for a salary.

Worse still, Hooper referenced Myles contract in his attack on Bozo.

That slack arse, along with Fiz are the two whose TPAs are on record as being unpaid.😡

Karma is going to make an appearance for them too

My sentiment exactly.

If the man dwarf is not medically retired, why the hell is he not shovelling s&it out in Blacktown?

If he has decided to bugger off to wherever if his own volition, why are we paying him?

If somebody has allowed this stain to wander off into the sunset without fullfilling his obligations, then bugger me.

I don't care if he is digging a hole and filling it back in every day for the full year. At least the smug prick would be doing something unpleasant for the year to earn his cash, rather than living it up in the US on our dollar.

Giant f $ckwit of a human he is.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Hooper lost me when he claimed he was invited to the "senior media officials" briefing.....as if. Unless the toilet was blocked and needed cleaning then there was no way he was there.

As for Dean Ritchie's mail - whenever you see him claiming an exclusive just replace the words "I'm hearing" or "my sources tell me" with "Zorba told me to say"

 

[47MVEagle]

Jeez mate you’ve sat there and looked on for ??? Years and suddenly you are “ on fire”, good work buddy good work!!

Haha it's like the dam has burst!

 

[SeaEagle21]

Just watched the show to see what was said and what was clear as day is Hooper was working off what he was being told. He was trying to put circumstantial logic claiming “he was the chief negotiator”, “you’d have to be stupid to think he had nothing to do with it”.

Absolute imbecile of the highest order. If he is so sure provide the exact description of what Bozo did not what you were told to say. Kent and Ikin sounded like people who use their brain to form conclusions (never thought i would say that about Kent).

All three were stumped as to why Manly were hit with a light fine and that the other clubs are jumping up and down. Not hard to work out that the NRL knows what Manly have done is what other clubs are doing. It’s just convenient that Manly can bear the brunt of the TPA’s being found out so that they have a scapegoat. So they give Manly a firm punishment but not catastrophic in that they will cop it and move on. That’s why.

The fact that “senior reporters” had a seperate briefing isn’t strange? Sounds like the NRL only want certain info reported in a specific manner.

Even Ikin said he would have liked to know what the facts are that Bozo is being accused of.

The media silence today has been very strange, only explaination is that the media outlets have told their lackies to keep quiet as they have left themselves open to legal action.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Jeez they are digging themselves a massive hole on this and hard to think that Hadley and Kent won’t keep it rolling!!
