I think so. A News LTD owned team in a News LTD owned comp! How the hell could they afford to buy Israel Folau with their star studded line up and stay under the cap?
i don't think they are rorting the cap, but they are definatly getting the rub of the green with MANY contentious and close calls !!!!

At a football club, there’s a holy trinity – the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don’t come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques.

Hmmmm..., some big name players there. Not to mention DeVeres attempt at a comeback.
Wallace wanted only 100k from the Panthers, Gorrell came back from ESL a failure, Michaels has been injured and played no rep footy, Clinton was on the scrap heaps, ditto Sims, Taylor hasn't be re-signed, PJ Marsh was a walking time bomb... DeVere had retired, played one game and retired again-doubt thats much cash there.
That leaves Hunt, Thaiday, Parker, Hodges, Lockyer and Folau. 6 big name stars. Similar to Minichiello, OMeley, Mason, Anasta, Myles and Pearce... Add in rep players Fitzgibbon, SKD, Paea, Perrett, Sa and Soliola, its easy to speculate isn't it??
I doubt the Bronco's have ever rorted the cap, the money came through brown paper bags and horses, but clearly, with the massive personnel loss, the departure of Bennett and uncovering of the Thoroughbreads scandel, the Broncos have had to start doing business like everyone else.
