Betting called of for Titans?

The difference I think you will find is that Inglis had not attended an official NRL function and was thrown out for being drunk as was the case for Stewart (I believe that is what the NRL suspended him for, bringing the game into disrepute at an official function, not the indecent assault allegations?). 

Manly were quite prepared to play Stewart until the NRL stepped in and suspended him, the Storm suspended Inglis for two weeks voluntarily (the NRL would not have suspended Inglis) - see the difference?

Inglis has had his day in court, Stewart's is yet to come, however, innocent until proven guilty would appear to be the case would it not, as if Stewart was not currently injured, he would be playing?

So, just so you understand fully, I'd hate for you to continue in your confused state, the suspension handed down to Inglis was from the storm not the NRL.

Exactly the case.

Grrr. Even if they've been rorting the system to the extent of the Storm administration, they'll still get a slap on the wrist - simply because it's too damaging to have more than one team caught under their noses!

The blatant hypocrisy and favouritism of the NRL administration really pisses me off!!!!!!

Sorta like how Brett Stewart got railroaded by Gallop and Inglis got treated like a kid who'd spilt his milk?
Inglis pretty much admitted his crime,Stewart is pleading innocence and in this country your innocent till proven otherwise

Didnt the Storm stand down Inglis themselves,

And manly refused to with Stewart , so the NRL stepped in and made them ? ....... thats how I remember it.

Different situation , both charges are serious,

but one was in the privacy of his home, the other out in public, and i thought that was what he was stood down for, bringing the game into disrepute, drunk in a public area ( an  NRL function)and  making a dick of himself, the sexual assault charges havnt been decided and havn't really come into it yet, that part is for the courts , just like Inglis assault charge was for the courts,  thats how I understood  it.

[The Eagle]

Well i guess you'll have to forgive me but i still see it as double standards,equally disgusting
allegations with BS being the worse in different ways obviously,it wasnt Stewwies fault manly
didnt stand him down tho and this is just another case of Gallop double standards to me

He claimed Stewwie brought the game into disrepute and fired a warning shot at Inglis who
featured in the same add as double demerit offenders tho when push came to alleged punch
he just hid in his little cave like the spineless prick he is

If he doesnt punish Titans or anyone else for that matter to the same sort of extent within this
season for salary cap breaking,itll just be 2009 repeated for the cowardly little bitch

And yes,if and its a big if,we're doing the same,id expect the same sort of punishment to show
some consistancy

[Bourbon Rat]

The sad fact is that Storm only got discovered because a disgruntled party 'blew the whistle'.
An earlier 'leaked rumour' was not investigated because Storm management got very irate about the claim at the time.
Given that the Titans alleged breach came from a disgruntled party & was given a quick once over by Schubert's seeing eye dog amidst irate claims from the white shoe brigade,(hmmm ? a pattern emerging there).I wouldn't hold out much hope of ANY major cap breaches being found.

Fiscal hide & seek is a specialised area of accounting & if big companies can hide it from the ATO what chance does the NRL have with One man & his dog

So Eagle, Wasn't money bags Orford given a house on the Northern beaches by fat Delmege?
You can't honestly look anyone in the face and tell them that ur 2008 squad wasn't over the cap? There is NO big if!
The fact of the matter is that a whistle blower blew the lid, a disgruntled player agent. Manly will never be found out as they don't need a second set of books. There is no written proof just like with the Titans!
The only reason Waldron ran a second set of hidden books is that he was accountable to news Corp and if questioned, had to show where the money went or he would be screwed.
Had he not left the club, none of this would be out because he would never expose the books. This is a fact from the man himself, Waldron.  There are at least 8 clubs cheating the system and Manly is at the top with the Titans, Tigers and Dragons close behind. There is proof out there but not in writing.

Gallop is a lima lima lima duck of mammoth proportions and hanging the code out to dry with new jerk reactions was an extremely poor decision. Manly fans and board members alike are even sadder wanting the 2007 premiership. Please! They were hardly over that year and if anything it was Manly who were playing with a tainted roster. No proof you will say! I say *lima lima lima duck* U!

Retard alert,one we havent been caught and claim to be clean
Retard alert 2,Delmage isnt fat,his bald!
Retard Alert 3 HOW THE *lima lima lima duck* CAN YOU BELIEVE THE CHIEF RAT? his slinging mud using the worst excuse ever "EVERYONE Else did it!!!:" its like the fat kid who cant outrun the cops after egging his teachers car

[CooperCronk]

Hey Eagle, do you honestly believe every club in the nrl are clean besides Melbourne?

Just asking.

[The Eagle]

LOL GOD NO!!!
I think its running rampant,the Sharks are the only team id say are under the cap
if the Storm was over by that much i find it unlikely that we arent...Storm have
what i thought was 4 players wrapped in a bunch of no names,Manly run the same
kind of model however.....we have 4 superstars (Stewart bros,J Lyon A Watmough) to,however ones out injured all year

i think most teams are just smarter to have any of it in any place like a second set of books and if they did
well theyd most likely be shredded paper the second the storm scandal went public
For mine,Souths,Easts,Dragons,Titans are prime suspects,however if we arent under i hope people take
less money to stick around and go to england for 4 years at the end of the career to make up for it and more

Im hopeful that we are under the cap (and the radar) but sadly i cant see how is physically possible with $4.1m
also i do know Bretts underpayed,we signed him up for a long time before he broke into superstardom and
he'll take a little more up but will probably show loyalty for the club who has stuck with him through everything

No surprise that clubs who claimed "They could fit Storm stars under the cap" are suddenly talking up "The young lineup they have to hang on to" or "They have an exciting crop of juniors coming through"

Tis odd no ?
And the silence from Storm HQ is deafening ?
No statements of "Endeavouring to keep our juniors" or "Our Young up & coming stars are important to our future" ?

Did i see a wraparound of the salary cap?
Gasnier considering signing for $50k with $4k per match payments balooning in year 2 and 3,its taking the salary cap and making a *lima lima lima duck* joke of it

[Bourbon Rat]

If you read this weeks Big League & the highly sanitised article on how the cap works.
You know that even their own mag couldn't cover up the gaps you could drive a B double through.
ANY 3rd party agreement is OK regardless of value - as long as it's kept "at arms length",(their words ?) from the club or doesn't involve a major sponsor ?
OK - If the media rumours are to be believed then most of the 'gifts/extras' Storm players got came from a bloke who ran the after party ? NOT what I'd call a major sponsor ?
Which brings us back to Cam's deal with Foxtel.
Gallops only problem with it was that the club agreed to underwrite it IF it went belly up.
So....................A media contract with a company owned by the owner of the club & a part owner / sponsor of the NRL would have been OK if Storm had said
"Yes go ahead - nothing to do with us"

Very wishy washy concept that 

[The Eagle]

I guess a your actual employer is not a major sponsor?
This cap needs to be changed dramatically
