It mentions:
"Four other clubs Manly, Newcastle, Sydney Roosters and the Wests Tigers have been issued with fines of more than $90,000 for less serious cap breaches."
"...The four other clubs were hit with varying fines due to breaches in 2013. Manly were hit with a $6000 fine for an overspend breach, the Knights $35,519 for the same offence, the Roosters were slugged for $40,000, with $20,000 suspended for two years, with the penalty due to " a lack of substantive notes of negotiation."
Note:
Given that the article list the clubs alphabetically, Manly is highlighted as the first of these four clubs but ours is a measly $6000 overspend.
And why did the poor Roosters get half of the $40K fine suspended for two years? Can't they afford the whole $40K?
