I suspect the bail outs cost more than the sale price. There is no way that the nrl is capable of managing money sensibly.
Salary Cap Witch Hunt. **Appeal unsuccessful**
- Thread starter Revilo85
- Start date
So...did we ask for another extension?

Manly have officially denied claims of salary cap rorting after lodging their reply to the NRL's breach notice on Friday.
Manly chairman Scott Penn told AAP that the Sea Eagles have rejected all claims made against his club.
The Sea Eagles were given three extensions to lodge their reply to the preliminary findings of an NRL integrity unit investigation.
The NRL has threatened the club with a significant fine and a potential adjustment of their 2018 salary cap.
"We've met the deadline and now we'll probably meet mid to late next week to talk it through further and take it from there," Penn told AAP.
"We've totally refuted all claims and put forward a full defence."
The possible adjustment of their salary cap has affected Manly's pursuit of a replacement for departed five-eighth Blake Green.
It affected their ability to pursue ex-Newcastle playmaker Trent Hodkinson, who this week signed with Cronulla

The NRL are in need of money so they’ll fine us whether we are guilty or not! 😡

I am very happy with this response. I have faith in this statement, and hope this leads to us pursuing the NRL for brand damages and restricted trade. May Greenburg have the eggs of 1000 chicken cracked on his face, and those on this forum who assumed Manly cheated the salary cap can bury their heads in the sand, as they have little faith, until the next witch hunt begins!
Then whip him until stiff peaks form, add fruit on top, and voila, worlds biggest pavlova.
I can't understand why this story isn't featured front and centre on NRL.com.
I guess they just prefer good news stories like that mischievous young Broncos prop getting his chance.

He’s a scamp that Matt lodge! what a guy!
Am I correct in saying Manly hired Ray murrihy to investigate the club in regards to match fixing claims and payments in which he cleared the club of any potential breaches???
And yet now the NRL are about to appoint him a position on the integrity unit?? Wow... Todd.

I'm extremely happy with that statement from our club. No mention of technicalities or any other soft cok responses. They're getting ready to bend Greenturd over and go all in with an angry unlubricated Nigerian army.

You have very strange fantasies, Spartan Eagle, but I can't fault your enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing.

Very happy with this development. Can't believe we would pull the baseball bat (or Bozo's cement truck) out of the cupboard without a very very solid case. Would have been far easier to bend over. Bring on the war! And if we win this case, bring in the state government to sort out this **** and clean the joint out.

No mention of the m word in that article. How strange.
Just like there will be no mention of the S word once this is all resolved

Greenburg is a lightweight.
I think Paul Keating would describe him best as a skidmark on footy history
