Sea Eagles hit with breach notice

Media Release⁠‌, ‌NRL

The NRL today issued a breach notice to the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles after concluding its investigation into salary cap issues at the club.

The notice concerns preliminary findings of potential breaches of the salary cap over the last five years.

Should these preliminary findings be confirmed, proposed sanctions could include a significant fine on the club.

The club could also be required to adjust its salary cap for 2018 to recognise commitments made to players that are found to be in breach of the cap.

In addition to the matters relevant to the club, show cause notices have also been issued to two current club officials, requiring them to demonstrate why their registrations should not be cancelled.

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said the Manly club and both officials have already been provided with opportunities to assist the NRL during this investigation.

They will now be given a chance to respond formally to the preliminary findings before final determinations are made.

Mr Greenberg said that, in accordance with the NRL Rules, the parties have been given five days to respond to the breach notices but, given the seriousness of the allegations, the NRL would consider a request for an extension of time

How the **** we could have been over the salary cap and some of those other clubs aren't is beyond me. That'll almost do me if they **** us over......

To save thread cap space.

That’ll do me. I’m off

The thing that could really hurt is the adjusting of the 2018 cap. Hate to see us have to shed any decent player.

Well it is the next stage in the allegations posted at the start of this Thread.

Now we have 5 days of leaks about the 2 Manly Officials and the sum of monies 😎

Well we have around 800k spare. Hodkinson for 250k so the rest we could cover the potential loss of cap

look at the Roosters, Eels, Broncos etc etc FcUK off Greenberg, you corrupt feckin spin merchant. I can’t wait for the day when you’re exposed for what you really are. I rub my hands and lick my lips in anticipation of the failure that’s just around the corner for your big stadium strategy. You are a pig who refuses to fly straight, you’re demise might be on hold, but it’s getting closer every day.

Reading between the lines, it doesn't really say we were over, but in breach

Lucky we didn't sign Pearce - as we supposedly have $800k left in the cap for next year we should be ok

Yeah sounds like we have somehow breached the 3rd party agreements rules rather than the salary cap - how do the those other bastard clubs get away with it and we don't...

 

[NewwyEagle]

we must have some dunces running our side. Let's hope gorman cleans up this place

It's alleged they've organised about $350K worth of third parties https://t.co/TveWHxnDMJ

It's a breach over a 5 year period
