NRL poised to strip Melbourne Storm of points over salary cap breaches

    Assuming the big four get $500,000 a season (i'm being generous) that's $2million of the $4.2million salary cap that leaves $2.2million to be spread over the remaining 21 players in the top 25 squad. That means, on average, the remaining players will only be getting $104,761.90 a season. They WILL lose at least one of the top 4 imo.

    Can anyone get the sound to work on the live stream of the storms press conference?

    ****ing ridiculous. Almost an extra season's worth of Salary cap.

    Of course it is bullshit that no players knew. I love that Gallop actually publicly stated that players not knowing was bullshit. They ****ing signed two contracts ffs, of course they ****ing knew.

    The best part of this is that the Storm are going to get ****ed in the asshole when they have to let all these players go next year who will be signed for far less money and the Storm have to pay out the leftovers. Goodbye Storm you cheating ****s.

    I imagined they signed both contracts at the same time. I'd also imagine a standard single contract would have numerous sections that each require a signature, so the players could definitely believe they were just signing the one contract when they were actually signing two, IMO.

    I reckon the players knew, but possibly thought the cheating was only equivalent to what was happening at the other clubs, but the fact their signature appears on two contracts means nought, AFAIC.
