Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"
I thanked him and went on my Merry way!

"Half an hour before David Gallop opened his press conference and revealed the full extent of Storm's salary cap rorting yesterday, a panicking Waldron told me[name withheld] leaving us and getting paid $200,000 by [sponsor withheld] outside the cap by the [team name withheld].
"This is a joke. All clubs do it. I can't say any more."
I hope for the integrity of the game int his country that he is not referring to an English club.'"
Talk about squealing on everyone!
All this talk of other clubs being involved has really released the "Wolf" amongst the sheep |

You don't think Bellamy knew about it? I'd find that hard to believe.
I think there's a good chance Maguire knew that it was going on as well, but not the extent of it. I doubt an assistant coach had much to do with contract negotiations.
Quote: Cruncher "But then, if I was a Saints fan, I'd be living in hope at the moment as well.'"
Is that you predicting years of domination after being top for half a season?
Could be interesting for you though if Bellamy does get sacked and Maguire wins your first title in over 10 years though. That would be fairly big news in Australia. |

To save their own backsides, the powers that be at the storm, will be squeeling like pigs over this!
The effects could well be felt over here!
However it wouldnt surprise me if the players didnt know how much each other earnt, I dont know how much my collegues earn, and frankly i dont care.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

He is one of the more sensible ones though, and one you can have a reasonable debate with, without it getting stupidly nit picking. |

Yes, because that's exactly what I said.
I'd be a bit wary of attaching guilt to named persons in this kind of situation. Especially when all you know about this is what you've read online.
The other bit was valid though - about Maguire making the headlines if Bellamy gets whizzed.

| Does anyone else think it's strange that the CEO of the newly formed Melbourne Rugby Union Club is the former CEO of the Melbourne Storm?  |

Let the rumours commence.  |

The against the Spirit of the cap rule  Load of rubbish I know, but it's only as daft as us being fined because the players got called up to represent their country!
I cant go this year mate, Mr Ingham is getting maried shortly and it's his stag do on May 1st.

I reckon directors of NRL teams all over Australia are covering their tracks as we speak. I will be suprised no other teams get busted in the near future after reading the quotes from the press conference.

| Don't hold ya breath waiting for 'other' NRL clubs to get busted over 'salary cap issues'.
The NRL needs an independent commission - News Ltd wanted out - The sticking point was Melbourne - Perfect exit strategy achieved
Funny how it's taken 5 years to un-cover & NOBODY at the Storm board - The NRL - or News Ltd had any idea 
This isn't going to be clear for a while but I know Bellamy has said many times over the years he did not want to be involved in player contracts.
There are still two active teams in Melbourne,(playing for points).The NSW Cup team & The Under 20's team.
Funny isn't it how the fans & players of teams bear the brunt of Corporate greed  |
