Wait and see what happens...

Yes yes, we'll wait and see News look after their baby.

They are a great club.

As are the Eels for that matter.

I can't believe they can be too far over given the number of players they have offloaded in the last three years...

Hence the wait and see...

Presumably we will find out soon.

Still a team packed with Internationals and SOO players, I can think of 12 off the top of my head, that's pretty damn close to a starting line up.

bookmaker has suspended wooden spoon betting

maybe this is why waldron left the storm

good for my side

lol, always look on the bright side aye Dally.

tbh id be surprised if its serious.

if they are busting the cap then its a black eye for news ltd

the owners of the game are breaking their own rules!

wouldn't be the first time

Big news...

Stripped of 2007 and 2009 premierships; 3 minor premierships.

This has Waldron's fingerprints all over it.

I think he may end up at Barwon rather than running the union side on what I just heard from someone on the phone.

it says they wont get any points this season, i would not let them get any points for the same time that they cheated( 4-5 years),some clubs in england just broke the rules slighlty.. bradford by a couple of grand? and that can be excused, but doing what storm have done is taking the pee and they should have to pay a bigger price than what they have been given

You can't have a bigger price than that...

It is the biggest penalty in the history of Australian sport.

It would be to easy for me to rip into the 4 w4nkers, so I won't.
Sad day for the NRL, but an example that the cap is being policed. every cloud has a silver one and that is at least proof that the game can look after iself.

None of the four people I believe you are referring to (4 has a ring to it...) follow the Storm as far as I am aware, troll.

You would only be giving it to rugby league and as that is your aim, go ahead...

Give it your best shot, rah rah.

they didnt have a clerical erro, they blatantly cheated for 4-5 years..make them suffer for 4-5 years

Yeah taking premierships off them won't hurt the players or fans...

Agreed. Cancel their games this year and have a second bye round for teams due to play them with 2 points awarded. Award the same 2 points to all their opponents they have played so far, start them on minus 10 points next year......
let's see how many of their stars hang about........none I would think, meaning 2011 would be a season of toyota cup standard players starting the seaon with a 10 point deficit. See how many fans they get then?
Blatant cheating......and they deserve to be hammered.
If my club did that (god forbid we have and we are still shi7) I would call for the same penalties to be applied.

You two enjoy your little fantasy.

It won't happen.

Much like your other fantasy, guttertroll.

You know the one when we accept you like rugby league and give your points proper consideration...

Or the one about rah rah taking over the southern hemisphere...

no fantasies mate,i just think blatant cheating is wrong

It must be a mistake.

Gutterfax tells us no-one in the UK has any interest in rugby league.

Especially a London based paper.

Got off lightly?

Yeah real light.

Go easy on the trolls.

They are idiots.
