I can't help but wonder about the past stories reported back in the Oasis investigation during the Bulldogs salary cap scandal and Scott Seward.
http://www.smh.com.au/frontpage/2002/08/28/frontpage.pdf
Is it a coincidence that so many of our players TPA's have been of the same amount as that reported in the article that included Seward's signature? I mean Hayne, Hopoate, Mannah all with $225,000? Google it!
Is it possible that this was Sewards MO that he crafted at the Bulldogs where he later became good buddies with Greenberg?
Is it plausible based on this article by Danny Wielder that Greenberg would not have been aware of these details reported by Danny Wiedler about the Dogs head of marketing and then merchandising manager???...and aren't these enough (if true) to bring in the boys in blue to explore further....... I mean money under the bed?? Is that true Danny? Does this explain the Zibara invoices at the Eels??
Is it also possible that merchandising at games was an easy means to launder the cash payments to players that is rumoured to be happening at many clubs....... that Greenberg is fully aware of and maybe, just maybe...... Sharpie and others have only recently become aware ie last year and why they are so prepared to stand their ground in spite of the crowd of previous Eels heroes and supposed friends telling them to stop the court action (many paid by those that pay the NRL.... Ch9 and News Ltd).
If Greenberg knows this........ no wonder those in the media paid by those that pay the NRL are so glowing of the Toad - to them he does no wrong...... and I bet a lot of other club administrators will sleep much easier with the Toad at the helm of the NRL. Coincidence? Time for an NRL overhaul.
100% transparency of total payments made for every club is the only way forward to bring trust and shine a light into the shadows...... Otherwise we will be doing this again in a few more years at another club.

Bizarre habits
Parramatta are doing their best to right things in their front office but the jury is out on new chief executive, Scott Seward. His reign as merchandising manager at the Bulldogs was an interesting one to say the least. The most intriguing aspect of it was $90,000 worth of Bulldogs merchandise not properly accounted for.
The Nike gear was not in stock and it was not in sales. There was never a question of any criminal activity – it was just stock that disappeared under his watch. Then there was his decision to employ his mother Robin. And his sister Kelly. And his two cousins. And even more bizarre was the way he would deal with the takings from game day merchandise sales. If there was a crowd of 40,000 – the cash sales could be as high as $40,000. The conventional manner of handling that would be to take the cash and place it in the safe at Canterbury Leagues Club and count it on the first weekday after the game. But Seward had the habit of taking it home and putting it under his bed for safe keeping.
Im with you Fuuuuui. At the very least this is worthy of an investigation beyond that of the NRL or the Eels. I can't help but think that if you really were responsible for the issues outlined by Greenberg there is no way you would keep fighting in the courts. They get paid 20K. They aren't doing for money. Maybe they really do have the clubs best interest at heart..... with mistakes....... but I bet the supposed illegal activity that has been leaked isn't of their doing. Lets see.
Youy might be onto something yoda, they dont call you yoda for nothing.
None of these guys, Seward or Greenberg, would want to be up on the stand with the history they have had.
An honour and privilege to be CEO of the Parramatta Eels.
A great responsibility to lead the Club back to respect and sustained success.
