Salary cap investigation heats up as Sharks bosses’ phones seized

SOME Cronulla Sharks directors have had their mobile phones confiscated by the NRL integrity unit as part of the investigation into the club’s potential salary cap breaches.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal some directors reluctantly handed over their phones to the NRL on Monday morning.
It is a dramatic development in the NRL’s ongoing examination into Cronulla’s alleged salary cap irregularities during 2015 and 2017.
“Unfortunately, I’m not able to make any comment as the investigation by the NRL is ongoing and confidential,” Sharks chief executive Barry Russell said.
One well-placed source said the investigation must be “hotting up” if phones had been seized.
The NRL would not comment yesterday.
Sharks officials remain concerned about what occurred in 2015, particularly now the NRL potentially has mobile phone evidence.
It is unknown whether then Sharks CEO and now Manly chief executive Lyall Gorman had his phone taken. He was not at Manly’s Narrabeen headquarters on Monday.
Some Cronulla Sharks directors have had their mobile phones confiscated by the NRL.
Cronulla’s salary cap drama broke in August when Russell self-reported what was a possible salary cap breach.
The NRL has made the probe a priority but is yet to nail down any final findings.
It is understood the NRL has been investigating Cronulla for six months.
Russell turned up suspicious and historic payments during a club-instigated governance review and immediately informed the NRL integrity unit.
In August, the NRL also impounded a number of servers.
The NRL has no timeframe for when it hopes to finalise and announce its findings.
At the time, it was thought the breach could be more than $250,000.
The Daily Telegraph reported in August that the investigation centred around undeclared third-party payments last year after the value of players increased considerably following Cronulla’s 2016 premiership win.
There is no suggestion coach Shane Flanagan’s mobile phone was taken.
The NRL had wanted several Cronulla officials to give evidence.
When the cap drama first surfaced, NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg said Flanagan, Gorman and former chairman Damian Keogh would be asked to front the NRL.

The media have their lines and nets cast far and wide hoping for a bite. If it is unknown then don't write anything....

This all came to light....what? 4 months ago?
If they didn't all suddenly get signed up to a new phone contract and throw their old phones, then they are all idiots.

We'll be implicated somehow, Lyall involved or not...

Why Don’t any of the clubs including us do the most logical thing before any payments are made. Call the Chooks and Broncos CEOs and discuss best pratice... shhessh. lol
This is actually quite hilarious. Any team that's had allegations, they have been spanning across years. But the sharks cheated the year before they won? And the year after? But not the year they won?But apparently they were squeaky clean in 2016 when they won the comp
Turn the lights back on Mr Peptide!
"Mr Greenberg. Yeah Sharks boss here.
There may have been some cap miscalculations recently.
But not in '16 when we won. Double checked that one.
All good then?"
Greenberg: "Not so fast. I want everything ever touched by the Manly CEO!"
This competition is so silly.
Roosters are under the cap!

Can I just say. If i have ever seen a player who would suit DES Hasler the footy coach and this current Manly side down to a tee. It's Wade Graham.
PS he's not injury prone. He's just cheaper. Tough as nails. Champion Player. He could take our team to another level.
Admittedly that isn't hard.

Out with an ACL, so now potentially “injury prone”.
