Sad but not surprsing to hear Gabby Logan berating George Riley on her BBC Radio 5 programme for including the story in his sports reports yesterday.
She seems ok with the story of Rickey Flutey moving back to London Wasps RU and Shaun Merritt failing a drugs test. In fact they're having a studio debate about it as I type.
ps Was Michael Shenton on National BBC news last night? If so why was he on?

Madge's view, would be interesting to see what former players say, obviously they are going to deny knowledge, coaches i guess have a certain degree of deniability, as they wont be party to contract negotiations, but players like Matt King (not accusing) know how much they were getting paid.

With MM we'd be so well placed to swoop.
If it wasn't for the fact they probably won't have learned their lesson yet, and will still be asking the Earth.
Ah well, we can dream.

Its not the players fault, thats like saying your boss offers you a bonus and you refuse because of the possibility it could go under.
Thats [sizeIF[/size the players did know there was something fishy going on |

All their sponsors have pulled out, too, unsurprisingly.

I didn't mean that. I meant that they'd still probably want massive salaries - and we couldn't deliver. |

| and the players claim they didnt know 
You know the one that was 'not against the rules' according to the auditors ?
We know the bean counters & suits did the wrong thing.
They REALLY screwed up
but let's wait for some REAL evidence before we start throwing bricks at players  |

If anyone's interested, Israel Folau is expected to announce this week that he's off to play Rugby Union.
Regardless of who's right and who's wrong in the Melbourne wrangle, I wonder if the NRL are now beginning to wonder whether the salary cap was really worth it?

What a shambles all this is! RL was taking over in Aus, this is a huge step backwards.
