I would be amazed if this wasn't more wide spread in all sports that employ a salary cap system. Can't believe that it seems to have been done so consistently and well by the Storm though. I wonder if the NRL is going to scrutinise other clubs now or bury their heads in the sand and say that its only one team and no one else is doing it. League doesn't need another scandal but if they're not serious about this one it could come back to bite them on the you know where in another few years (maybe less) when another club is caught out.
It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Actually heard that St Kilda may come under a bit of scrutiny as one of the Storm bosses came across from there. Apparently they passed the audit first time round but they may get another looking at
It will be interesting to see how it affects the new Melbourne Super 14 team too.It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

Good point. Maybe the poor performers only last 3 years anyway.

Bit OT but the missus is against bans on drugs in footy. She reckons let the market reign. Let's have two-headed players. Might make one brain.Cheers, Ern

I thought the betting on the wooden spoon was the good bit. I heard it was stopped yesterday morning after a number of big flutters on the Storm.
Sponsors have fled, current and ex bosses are being dumped and pilloried all over the place. All in a game where the objective is to bash the other guy hard enough that you can get past him with an oblongy pig skin thing. Curioser and curioser...."We must never become callous.

Corbs, either the players lied to their agents about their income, in which case zero, or they didn't in which case 'I don't recall'.
You can bet the ATO will be sniffing every which way.Cheers, Ern
