if inglis stays who goes ?
Welcome to the unofficial Melbourne Storm discussion forum

If GI comes out and says exactly that...then yes I will admit that I have over reacted.Noa Nadruku wrote:Hopefully Storm Spirit and Co read that paragraph very slowly..... :-*."Another factor is Greg's parents. They have just settled in Melbourne and they actually like it there so it all points to Greg staying. My gut feel is he will stay.
"Greg was wanting to stay there all along, if the salary cap stuff never happened Greg would never have thought about leaving."
The Broncos were offered verbal assurances Inglis wanted to link with the six-time premiers, but the negotiations hinged on the Storm's blessing and were subject to NRL directives on Melbourne's salary cap position, which were finalised late last week.
It is believed Brisbane's final contract offer would have left the Storm to pick up $410,000 of his bill over the next two years, under their salary cap, a position Inglis and Melbourne club were unhappy about.
The Titans offer was more viable - valued at $550,000 next year, increasing to the full $660,000 in 2012 - meaning the Storm would pay only $110,000 under next year's cap and nothing in 2012.
all good ...sometimes (all the time ??) I wear my heart on my sleeve in these matters.Noa Nadruku wrote: Fair enough SS, I was just ribbing ya.
Totally confused by all that ^. Someone care to explain in layman's terms?The Herald Sun has information about this season's registered player contracts and, based on them, Inglis may be able stay.
The figures aren't total payments, because the Deloitte report found several players were receiving money not listed on NRL paperwork.
Details of how undeclared money was spread around are contained in the report that is the subject of inquiries by the Australian Tax Office and the Victorian Fraud Squad.
But the report revealed only seven Storm players received unregistered payments and two of those won't be at the club next year.
That could leave Storm with up to $600,000, after paying all 25 player's wages, to cover any extra payments to the five remaining players.
The sticking point could be a small six-figure shortfall needed to cover all unregistered payments, which could mean another player has to go.

Ah thank you! Now I get it. That sucks if it's Nielsen though1999 wrote: Basically only 5 players who were recieving illegal payments NOT declared to the NRL this year will be in our 2011 25 man squad. Based off the HS figures the total salary for the top 25 (not including illegal payments) is about $600,000 below the cap, but those unregistered illegal payments need to be honoured (about $750,000 worth)
So basically we need to shed another player worth 150k to keep GI and stay under the cap, the article suggests nielsen might be the man shown the door.
See...that's the part of all this that I just don't get.1999 wrote: Basically only 5 players who were recieving illegal payments NOT declared to the NRL this year will be in our 2011 25 man squad.

Yep its not fair, he's been great this year and i believe is an all round better centre then chase. TBH i wouldnt be surprised too see O'Neill partner GI in the centres if the rumours are true were keeping quinn also. Hopefully all 2011 squad details are released with the GI announcement tommorow as promised and we can start moving forward .jellyhead wrote:Ah thank you!

We wont have to shed any players if those illegal salaries dont become those players actual salaries for 2011. The NRL knows we cant afford to continue paying full freight under the cap legally, thus forcing us to release players or "share the talent around". Thats why they wont allow pay cuts either. Itll look bad on them after we cheated the cap so badly and still were able to keep most of the illegally assembled star-studded squad, like the dogs of 02'. Were being made an example of.Storm Spirit wrote:See...that's the part of all this that I just don't get.1999 wrote: Basically only 5 players who were recieving illegal payments NOT declared to the NRL this year will be in our 2011 25 man squad.

if the so called overs payments weren't meant to be made (ie. weren't lawful)...then how can unlawful payments be enforced.
Shouldn't they just evaporate...the players therefore shouldn't get that money.
In effect, the NRL are saying to Melbourne Storm that they have to make illegal payments to players.
