Salary Cap Witch Hunt. **Appeal unsuccessful**

[Eagles2nv]

Again from Ritchie

BREAKING: Manly deducted $600,000 from their salary cap over two seasons. Club fined $750,000 with $250,000 suspended.

So it seems like we may be hamstrung again in 2019. Great stuff.

I love 'suspended fines'... its like lets make it look like we will give you a bigger penalty, but really we will make it smaller.

I cant remember the last time someone actually breach their 'suspenion'.

But no reasons why!!

Yes James Hooper alluded to the 2019 penalty yesterday!!

From my knowledge every other salary cap issue has been dealt with swiftly and not affected following year caps etc. It would be a huge blow to have our salary cap affected this year AND next.

But no reasons why!!

Greenberg says "Just because, that's why"

Im confused. If those fines were in years when Kelly was here, how are we being penalised 3 years after his departure on the cap.

Only answer is players under contract with promised 3rd party are still at the club. If it was promised to them the NRL will add that to the cap. Fair too imo.

I’m trying not to look it’s depressing!!

I think it's hilarious 😛

All other Fans want is loss of points and it can't happen

The fines mean nothing to anyone but the Owners

Having a 660k Cap reduction for 2 years is also manageable

The breaches involve 13 players over five years, totalling $1.5 million.

Bulldog Ritchie, who would have already been passed information given the club would now be aware, tweeted the we are facing larger salary cap deduction although amount suspended.

And that’s my point. A lot of huffing and puffing, and a large suspended cap penalty. The NRL look to be coming down on us hard but in reality they’re like a toothless dog, big on the bark.

 

[Mitch]

Looks like we’re working with less cap next year.

From Brent Read

Manly salary cap sanctions - club has been fined $750,000, chief operating officer Neil Bare and former chief executive Joe Kelly have been de-registered for 12 months. Penalty of $660,000 to be applied - $330,000 each year

Here it is, so we’re set to operate under the cap again next year.

Todd Greenturd has a face you want to punch

 

[Eagles2nv]

From press conference:

Breach of $1.5M

750K fine - 250k Suspended if we enforce new governance measures.

660K salary cap reduction this year and next.

Neil Suspended 12 months. As is Joe Kelly for 9.

We are compliant this year and therefore no points deducted.

 

[fLIP]

$1.5 million paid outside cap.
$750K Fine / $250k suspended.
$650K deducted from 2018 and 2019 caps.

 

[Jigzkiller]

No wonder we wouldn't hand over the phones Bozo was cheating and his phone had evidence he is clearly as dumb as our cricket captain.

 

[Eagles2nv]

No action on players.

Not on same scale as parra/storm.

 

[Kevinward777]

$660k cap fine for next two years... Farkin wow! Worse punishment than the Eels at the end of the day. We would have been better off losing 12 points.

 

[Eagles2nv]

Approz 15 players involved.

Baz is not involved and has complied with the investigation.

He is clear.

 

[The Who]

Don't tell me Bozo was involved in shady dealings?

 

[Eagles2nv]

Bozo is exempt. lol

He isnt a registered official and therefore cannot be penalised if he was involved.

 

[eagleron]

Exactly, he’ll make the perfect politician one day!

What idiot would vote for that bastard?
