they say its the darkest hour in rugby league...
melbourne storm, probably the best team in the league for the past 4 years, the benchmark team... they have been stripped of 2 premierships from '07 and '09... they need to pay back the NRL $1.1million in prize money....
they cheated the salary cap by $1.7 mil over the past 5 years....
from a bulldogs supporter... well, suck it up... and really... i think im with the majority of the public and press when they say that there are many more clubs cheating the cap....
ah well... after the 2002 incident for the dogs, they stuck by and won the premiership in '04... but after that, reality checks in, they cant afford the players, and now they are mostly gone...
the simple fact is, no player is going to settle on a pay cut and stay in the NRL if they can just goto england, france or union for more money... so if the good players are constantly re-signing contracts in the NRL, they are getting pay raises....
if it took a whistleblower to catch the storm... well, the other clubs wont be caught out unless its broken from within the club... they should have a salary cap on the admin too for hush money...
