Can we get a downgrading?

Posted by Wile E. Coyote on May 3, 2016 at 1:29pm
Can we get a down grading?For example1. NRL deliberately waited for the bye to break the news that deprived us of the opportunity to be cap compliant for the dogs game - still over cap do lose points but puts some responsibility on NRL2. If Watmough retirement was sorted out sooner by the NRL we would be cap compliant nowSo can we get a review by NRL that Watmoughs retirement get sorted adapter and backdated to lodgement date. That would return badly needed points to keep our season aliveSeems like if we are over the cap due to prior TPAs being applied to this year we have to accept it and that we can't get points while overBut we would not be over if Watmough is accepted. The delay rests with the NRL.Not sure if their is a case for backdating unless the NRL to longer than reasonable

    The NRL dont know anything about the Choc Retirement, Due to the Inept running of the head office..

    Well  if choc doesnt play this year and retires he does not come up under the salary cap right?

    Then we are technically still under the salary cap for 2016...

    So I find hard to believe we are over the cap for this year even though we brought jennings and watmoughs money still counts to the cap so far. Aren't we still under the cap and if/when watmough's insurance comes through won't that make us even more under the cap, I cannot see us shedding any players unless they want out themselves.

    Jennings was signed Before the NRL threw the Extra 500k on top of the cap due to the TPA's (my guess)..

    If the Clubs smart they should seek that the insurance claim is back dated to when Choch was injured..

      Isnt that what they have done, he was injured in the pre season and hasn't played a game in 2016 yet. If he retires and he does not play a game and the insurance company pays does that mean it comes off our 2016 cap? It would cover the 600k required easily imo
