the storm got off lightly huh?

theres probably no coke left in the rest of NZ!

plus he had to save some for his mates in the pub!

At least he is funnier flogged.

yes. they should be removed from the comp for 2 years....unless you want to condone cheating.....oh, hang on, it's in your blood isn't it....so let's just hit them for some of the money they made attracting new fans selling shirts and generally making the game a laughing stock.

To other trolls:-

Take note of how far guttertroll has fallen and take heed.

We may have to pay for his counselling at this rate...

Personally I fell sorry for the fans. The clubs management have screwed them all. Maybe it is time for a fan buyout? At the very least time for board to go...

Way too tough.

Strip them of their titles, fine them, penalise them 10 points this year but don't expect a side to play the year out with no points available to them. Why would the fans bother to turn up? What do the players have to play for?

Gallop is a fool.

Anyone who thinks they got off lightly has brains made of the stuff that dogs make brown curly things on the grass with...

I must say I agree with that EA.

That is the point I have been trying to convey.

NO-ONE is crazy enough to pay $100 to go the footy for no reason whatsoever.

What about that wipe Waldron?

Jumps ship to Union right before the hits the fan?

Union have bought a good 'un there. Does the super duper 14 have a salary cap?

Absolutely.

I'm struggling to understand why they would make them play the year out without hope of earning a point. There is no gain for the NRL in doing them, not for them, The Storm or any other NRL side, no fans, no one benefits. All it does is harm.

Pointless.

I hate the frigging Storm but this is just way over the top.

Waldron an AFL plant?

He'll be a bitch to whoever killed Fatboy soon...

Waldron was the CEO through all the cap rorting.

Apparently there is talk of the police now being involved and I hope that mongrel gets his comeuppance.

definitely, merkin

dissagree EA.

they have $700,000 of players this year they shouldnt have.

why should other teams who arent cheating have to compete with that.

cameron smith misses the 07 grand final and they get belted by manly

they created this problem

will the players have to take a pay cut, or will a number of players get released?whats happened has happened, but if they play this week with a full sqad, and win , will the opposition have a case to claim the 2 points? as they are playing players who are earning more than the allowances

I can understand that point of view too, DM.

It really is a mess.

But honestly, it will not do the NRL any good for the Storm's crowd average to drop from, what, an excellent figure of not much under 20,000 so far this year to 3,000.

It's throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

If it were a team not struggling on foreign soil, I'd agree. the Dogs got what they deserved but the game as a whole didn't suffer all that much.

It will now.

Waldron need to be publicly castrated but I hope the Rebels keep him, the bloke stinks to high hell, his name is and should be mud forever. If the Rebels keep him, they'll be a stuffed as the Storm...

Funny how Demetriou was quick to say the AFL would bring in similar measures in a similar event...

Of course history shows they don't have the cojones.

Enter Pratt and Carlton for an example of a no point deduction.

they probably will lose 1 star but its possible to keep the big names by restucturing deals and losing fringe players

canberra lost glen lazarus

the dogs lost a stack of players from roy asotasi to steve price, braith anasta

we need an attacking centre, so well take inglis

typical AFL?

when RL is getting all the media he tries to jump in and mention AFL.

gallops leadership is showing here.

we will have slater then lol

I worked for Richard Pratt when I was a kid, at Visyboard Warwick Farm.

I don't normally speak ill of the dead but he will forever be the only exception.

The day he croaked was a good day.
