Parramatta Eels

    Cam Smith is his own manager. He was full aware that he was negotiating two different amounts and signing two different contracts.

    This would depend if any of the TPAs attached to current rostered players were acquired illegally.

    If this is the case, then any points loss or playing out the season for no points is purely dependent on the amount of the illegal payments.

    IIRC Melbourne was about 1.1M over the salary cap so if Parra are anywhere near that amount with illegal payments then the punishment should be the same IMO.

    How do you know that though? Players at the club could very well be still getting benefits because of cheating.
    Didn't know that.

    It's been reported that their current side is legal, I believe. If evidence is brought forward to prove that their current side is illegal, they shouldn't definitely be allowed to make the finals. But if that's not proven I think 8 points is a fair punishment.

    Sort of unrelated to the current discussion, but I still reckon they're a chance for the finals even with an 8 point reduction. They're is a gluttony of piss poor teams in the comp this season.

    Getting docked 12 points. No chance now.
     
  7. Lukic L Popovic

    Have to win 12/15 games now right?
     
  8. Julian BJ Taylor

    Something I read suggested they have to shed 500k worth of cap before they can gain points?

    That's around the mark of Junior Paulo's contract isn't it?

    The Eels have been told they are $500,000 over the cap this year and can't play for points unless they get under .Will have to shed players

    @SteveHartFOX
    Parramatta also told they'll need to shed players to get under the cap this season @FOXSportsNews

    The @TheParraEels will have to shed players and get under the salary cap this year if they want to play for points this season ... tmi.me/1fdJqT

    The imminent departure of Sisa Waqa means Junior Paulo should fit straight in to Canberra and they remain under the salary cap.
     
  12. Lukic L Popovic

    tigers will pick up watmough and de gois i reckon.
     
  13. Julian BJ Taylor

    Apparently Ryan Morgan will join Melbourne effective immediately.

    Now there's a player who I think will gun it in that side. Doesn't look that good, but a pretty good attacking centre for mine IMO.
     
  14. Julian BJ Taylor

    Do the Roosters have any room under this year's cap?

    They could try and pounce on a half/back?
     
  15. Magic AJ Parker

    I don't know enough about the nature of their salary cap breach but that 500k is equal to Michael Jennings who they signed in February.

    Was it really worth it?
     
  16. Magic AJ Parker

    Well yeh we've got Jennings money.

    There was a rumour a few weeks back about Manu Mau approaching the club because he was still chasing a 3rd party sponsorship from the Eels. With nearly all our forwrads back now I'm not sure where we'd sit but it'd sure be nice.
     
  17. Magic AJ Parker

    Watmough retiring and the club being given a dispensation for such would also clear the 500k they're required to shed.
     
  18. Julian BJ Taylor

    Well it's one big cluster fuck considering they brought in Jennings, Scott, Foran, Gordon, Gutherson, Cornish, King and Tanginoa this season.

    That's 8 players and they're just about on 600k over the cap. 100% deserve to be double dicked here.
     
  19. Julian BJ Taylor

    From what I've read there's no way they'd be given dispensation for it given what they've done here.
     
  20. AVA T Delonge

    Just fuck Watmough off. 2ez.
