I must say I agree with that EA.

That is the point I have been trying to convey.

NO-ONE is crazy enough to pay $100 to go the footy for no reason whatsoever.

Absolutely.

I'm struggling to understand why they would make them play the year out without hope of earning a point. There is no gain for the NRL in doing them, not for them, The Storm or any other NRL side, no fans, no one benefits. All it does is harm.

Pointless.

I hate the frigging Storm but this is just way over the top.

Waldron an AFL plant?

What about that arsewipe Waldron?

Jumps ship to Union right before the poop hits the fan?

Union have bought a good 'un there. Does the super duper 14 have a salary cap?

He'll be a bitch to whoever killed Fatboy soon...

Waldron was the CEO through all the cap rorting.

Apparently there is talk of the police now being involved and I hope that mongrel gets his comeuppance.

dissagree EA.

they have $700,000 of players this year they shouldnt have.

why should other teams who arent cheating have to compete with that.

cameron smith misses the 07 grand final and they get belted by manly

they created this problem

Re: Storm Busted rorting the cap? : Thu Apr 22, 2010 10:17 am  

will the players have to take a pay cut, or will a number of players get released?whats happened has happened, but if they play this week with a full sqad, and win , will the opposition have a case to claim the 2 points? as they are playing players who are earning more than the allowances

I can understand that point of view too, DM.

It really is a mess.

But honestly, it will not do the NRL any good for the Storm's crowd average to drop from, what, an excellent figure of not much under 20,000 so far this year to 3,000.

It's throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

If it were a team not struggling on foreign soil, I'd agree. the Dogs got what they deserved but the game as a whole didn't suffer all that much.

It will now.

Waldron need to be publicly castrated but I hope the Rebels keep him, the bloke stinks to high hell, his name is and should be mud forever. If the Rebels keep him, they'll be a stuffed as the Storm...

Funny how Demetriou was quick to say the AFL would bring in similar measures in a similar event...

Of course history shows they don't have the cojones.

Enter Pratt and Carlton for an example of a no point deduction.
