With all the extra cash they have been given, the Poundshop is hardly an attraction is it

Clinton comes in and Cooke has to go

must have been tight

This is a bad day for RL as a sport. The NRL may be the best competition in the world but it sure brings the game into disrepute far too often. Especially with player indiscretions. I think the teams who where runners up should be made champions, I’m not sure why they are not. Also do Leeds now become world champions again as they lost to them this year?

Hope Super League carries a review out too.

Wonder if any fraud charges will follow. Can businesses legally operate 2 sets of accounts, 1 declared and 1 not declared? I dont believe so.

I think your right, we are very close to the cap, but thats a world away from the suggestion *cough*

Er, I haven't witnessed anyone doing that.



As someone has already pointed out, they were technical breaches rather than premeditated fraud. That's not to say that any British club is guilty of anything similar, but it's amazing how some clubs manage to keep under the cap when you look at their playing staff. Not Rovers though.

from tv reports fraud charges will follow.

As i say, hope a wholesale review takes place of all SL and NRL clubs. The salary cap is intended to create a level playing field, not be abused.

Would you expect any REAL action by the RFL if anyone was found out on this scale, more Ostrich impressions are likely.

Nice to see a sports organisation taking decisive action against clubs flouting rules, I think its a tad OTT but the Aussies do take the RL seriously.

it would never happen here of course too many interested parties would have there black gloved hands all over it. The salary cap here only operates because the clubs sort of roughly agree to it, if one club decides to stuff the cap it is not enforeceable. The European rules on competition would almost certainly rule that any salary cap illegal or at best a restriction of trade.

I'd be surprised if any action was taken. They'd probably give slapped wrists behind closed doors in the secretive way that the RFL do everything.

I'd still expect a couple of SL clubs to have sleepless nights on the back of this announcement.

I wonder how many super league clubs have already been on the blower regarding the availability of the storm players, after all they will have to take a pay cut to get under the cap.

I hope Jimmy boy has already contacted them regarding Cooper Cronk.
