I think the sooner the court case is dropped, the sooner we as a club can try to work with the NRL to work out some way of co-operate on getting players to take pay cuts to help. All the ongoing stuff is just going to make it harder & it's not worthwhile for the simple fact as Jelly said, we were over the cap, we did cheat, we were dealt our punishment. There's nothing more to be gained there IMO. Just get it out of the way to focus for the future because this year & the previous couple can't be changed now. I just want the club settled again so it can move forward rather than deal with this screw up on a day to day basis like we have been since April 22nd...

There's nothing whatsoever stopping the club from working with the NRL regardless of whether the directors continue with the court case. It's not a simple case of just winning or losing, it's a matter of principle and while principles might not be important to you (which is fair enough and your prerogative) they're important to me and obviously the 4 directors who are fighting for the cause. Lets not forget why they initiated it in the first place, that was because they had the full backing of the coaches, players and countless members.

If the truth be known i don't think we should or will get the premierships back either but for me it's not just all about that. Even a murderer isn't sent straight to jail when the facts are undeniable that he committed the crime, he's given a trial where all all evidence is heard first and only then a decision is made. You might think it's a waste of time to go through it with the right processes which is again fair enough but even if the same result occurs then at the very least it'll be done the right way this time.

$1 million over in 2010 and 1.3 million over in 2011. That adds up to $2.3 million.

That means between 2006 and 2009 we were $870,000 over or $217,500 per season. Is that all??!!

Give us back our Premierships you K*UNTS!!!

Any contract can be terminated at any time if both partys agree.
You can't tell me that the football department and the board do not have a plan in place already with who they want and what it will cost.
The players would have at least a small idea and they would have discussed it as a group at some point.
What the *lima lima lima duck* is the hold up, I just don't get it.
I does not matter any more what we breached the cap by over the last 5 year, we are serving the punishment for that offence.
All that matters is 2011 at this point, I am strugling to understand why the club has not come out with a plan for 2011.
Shit we can put together a roster on here but they can't I don't get it.

Sorry for the rant, like you all I am completely over this whole ordeal
