Sydney Club Salary Cap Investigation.

[Guest]

There was a small write up in the Courier Mail today, stating that a Sydney club have been asked to produce records and computer to investigate a possible salary cap breach. They say it is not of Storm preportions, but is worth checking the books.

In order of likelihood, the candidates for investigation are:

1. Canterbury
2. Souths

it could be manly. they still havent finalised the brett stewart deal even though he reportedly re-signed months ago.

Every year they name about 4 or 5 teams that breach the cap (more technical than trying to deceive) and get fines.

I think Saints have been named the last few years, but with their current roster can't see it being them. Have to be the Dogs, with the names on their roster.

I do believe our club knew about this and that is why they released that information about how they stayed under the cap..

With no doubt its the dogs that are being investigated !!

i dont get it sometimes. every club has an equal salary cap, and whether they go over by $100 or $1 mil, they still go over. they cheat. and they should be punished the same every way every time. they should deduct all points earned/to be earned that year. then and only then will that stop clubs from rorting the cap.

Lol@souffs for sure.

Oh man - that would be awesome.

I would say it must be the Titans then.

Every case should be investigated and punished on its merits. There is not a 'one size fits all' punishment that can apply here because the cap is such bitch of a thing to understand. Its not the amount thats the issue....its what should and shouldn't be included.

An example for you....the Raiders signed a young schoolboy from Wagga last year to play SG Ball this season. As part of his deal they paid an amount of $2k towards his school fees. Ian Schubert decided this should be included in their NYC Salary Cap despite the fact there is little chance of him playing NYC this season. So in your example, if the Raiders exceeded the NYC cap by $2k, you would want all their points stripped and the team basically booted from the competition. There is mistakes (such as this) and there is deception (Storm/Bulldogs). They are completely different and thankfully are treated that way.

Since when were the Titans a Sydney club??

Not many people do me included. I think some of the rules are that there is the allocated cap amount then there is a marquee player allowance not in the cap a 8 year 1 club player thats not included in the cap, 3rd party sponsorship deals through the club I think are exept & also like what the Broncos have always done & now the Bulldogs are doing is having players on private sponsorship payments from a business or individual not associated with the footy club which are not included in the cap. There is some allowance off your cap if you go through your 30 team squad due to injury.

Some clubs are paying players at other clubs so how it all works God knows. So you just have to have faith in the NRL & trust in the system.
