NRL Issues Reduced Fine - Parramatta Eels - Eels Blogs

The NRL has today announced a reduced fine for the Parramatta Eels for a breach notice issued in May of this year. The fine of $465,000 marks a $60,000 reduction of the original $525,000 amount. See below for the full NRL statement:

The NRL said today it has considered Parramatta’s response to a salary cap breach notice issued last month and will proceed with a fine of $465,000.

The figure was reduced by $60,000 after the club clarified aspects of its NRL second tier player payments.

Other aspects of the initial breach penalty, including the possible deduction of competition points in the 2016 season, remain unchanged. The NRL will now work with the club on an independent review of its governance and organisational capability.

The NRL also advised today that it had reduced the penalty imposed on the Roosters for salary cap breaches last year from $41,292 to $25,000 after the club clarified the nature of education allowances made to the club’s NYC Top 20.

"We got flogged last year in the very same game by 50 points. What did we learn? What did we change? Nothing! Got flogged again by 50. Ryles has a long lomg eay to go. If you dont learn from your mistakes you never improve. Negative 50 is like 3…"

"Look maybe tomorrow i'll feel better but there was this concern of Ryles being buddy buddy. With Anasta on Pezet deal. Going back to Dragons well for de Belin.
Do i give up on Ryles? Of course not, but so far there are the first two blight in his…"

"What makes a utility a utility? Is it being on the bench or actually being a versatile athlete? Joash is a fullback, that's it, he is 18th man but that doesn't mean he is 'cover' that's a mistake I expect Ryles to learn from, expect Samrani and or…"

Some more good news! It's not a huge reduction, though it's still $60k.

The fine doesn't worry me that much. The possibility of starting on -4 points does.

Does this mean the percentage payouts on the pokies at the club will at least be increased to industry standards? Gees it's hard to win down there lately.

There is no excuse if we start next season on -4 points, we need to do an independent review after the Foran debacle there is no excuses not too.

The NRL will just reduce it's annual grant to Parramatta.
It's not like we have to find an extra 400k.

  Hahaha! It is a surprisingly good week for the Eels!
  
  We win three in a row, confirm Foran signing and have our fine reduced!
