Will other clubs being nailed help the storm out of their own predicament? No, so who cares. 4 corners is questionable journalism to say the least, wouldnt surprise me if they implicate the storm further.

Just quietly i hear the titans are 500k + over the cap this year and about to get stung.

Still.. doesn't help us.

I wish all this sh*t was done with, stop with the court case, just cop our punishment, find out from deloitte how much we need to shed and concentrate on getting a competitive team on the paddock in 2011.

Bring on 4 corners. Im loving the fact it will uncover a few things, I cant wait for the other clubs to get caught out so I can give their supporters some of their own medicine which has been dished up to us in the last few months. I cant wait for the next court hearing either.

On a 8am radio sporting program on saturday,i heard of this 4 corners report
They said its Legit BUT they still think the program is still investigating
The fingered Souths Broncos rabs mentioned Titans to,the other club they
mentioned was Saints

Rabs also while talking to Munzie mentioned Titans and some place betting,at
the moment the TAB isnt taking top4/8 and missing the finals bets
"Absolutely trained to the minute"

While I`m not normally a vindictive person I would at the moment be quite happy to see a couple of these go through the wringer. When you look at reports about Gasnier going back to the Saints on 1.4m and how Parramatta are after Coops when they have had to let go Mateo and Inu , as well as who the Bulldogs have recruited and are trying to chase I really think there are a few teams that need some watching

I think Parra may actually be able to afford Cronk, considering they are losing Cayless, Inu and Mateo.  I dont believe Inu and Mateo leaving was forced by the cap - it was because the Warriors simply offered more and they took it.

These teams (Souths, Broncos, Saints and Titans) were always going to be the most likely to be accused.

Souths - due to their massive recruitment of established players - where they've bought not bred plenty of players - Asotasi, Kidwell, Crocker, Taylor, Best etc and the rumours were that Crowe and Holmes-a-court had plenty of spare cash to splash.

Broncos - and the connections with Thoroughbreads etc is well known for years now.
'
Titans - deadset the best 'roster' of established rep stars and their depth is astounding.  Bailey, Bird, Campbell, Prince, Rogers, Laffranchi, Minnichello, Harrison.  The fact they were competitive from day 1 was impressive but serious questions must be asked how they kept such a quality and deep playing roster whilst still having money to throw at young fledglings like a certain Storm centre...

Anyway - enough mere speculation.  Let's see what the ABC uncovers...

Mateo is meant to be opting out of his Warriors deal tomorrow to resign with Eels though

I'd love the NRL to not be biased by anything,in a perfect world all cheats would be found out
and punishments wouldnt be belated,In reality however the NRL is run by a pack of moronic
imbiciles that deserve a slow painful death as theyre killing the game and your club

The NRL's double standards go so far it isnt even really funny,Bulldogs expelled,warriors - 4 points? lol
The infamous duel cases of Stewart and Inglis with double standards applied again
Jonathon Thurstons spray not even copping 1 single week but M Cross saying "ffs" is enough to warrant
a 10 metre marching + Penalty instead of just a scrum feed in the SAME *lima lima lima duck* GAME!!!!
Petty fines for past and present misdeeds for what youd call repeat offenders and yet the only one
thats really found out this year got the most severe punishment in the entire history of the NRL (including NSWRL,ARL,SL)

Parramatta and Saints are the NRL Poster boys,Gallop was sick of you lot winning everything and is even on record
as saying he hates the same teams in contention year after year,he screwed us with a 4 week suspension of a player
for an alleged occurance (No matter what bullshit he said,we know why he was suspended) and claims poster boys will
be dealt with harshly then his other 2 poster boys do stuff just as reprehencable (Be realistic,his 100kg+ shes about 50kg
and the glassing,lets not even bother with that)

Point is this low dog of a human being says one thing and almost immediately does the other,is he still injured? i always wondered
how someone without a spine could break a collarbone,his injury brought me alot of happyness after his years of double standards
and i cant wait till his kickin his can to the centrelink line

I think the reason Parramatta have let Mateo, Inu and now Keating go is so they CAN have a go at getting a decent halfback.
