if we lose more than 8 points

Suggest a few things. Firstly I would play as many of the wenty side as possible. Secondly not turn up to any matches. As painful as this would be it would be a good way to show the Nrl that you don't treat the paying fans this way especially when all the other sides doing the same.

  • Pete this whole play wenty players in first grade is freaking ridiculous, your not the only one to say it, numerous are saying it, not only are there rules that make it impossible, its just a really unthought out idea that makes zero sense to the betterment of our club, standing down all our 1st grade players to prove a point will be great for the club and its fans its to ridiculous to even seriously contemplate.

    Hurting the club and trying to challenge the NRL over this isnt a good idea, not only will it be totally fruitless but its shooting ourselves in the foot.

    The NRL wanted to let us off with a fine, WE SHOVED IT IN THEIR FACE with our factions, its all our fault.

    • Agree Snake.  Secondly, and I'm not an expert on the Salary Cap system, but wouldn't we be breaching our second tier cap by playing lots of players outside our top 26?  More fines and more potential for loss of points again next year?

    • Sending kids in to get smashed up by by season pro's and putting careers back 3 years is not the answer.

    • Play nsw cup players in first grade?
      *break the cap again, for 2017
      *stunt the development of our juniors
      *piss off our regular first graders who want to play as not playing drops their worth and ability to play rep footy
      *piss of fans who want to watch competitive matches
    • If our Board challenged a mere fine to warrant us this deductiin; surely they have a contingency; an alibi, a case to challenge the NRL ....????? Something that keeps them quietly confident so it seems. Is there hope they have a plan????
  • Agree regarding the wentry sentiments snake. However I don't agree we have shoved it in their face. The latest round of crap has come from leakers in the club. Have we screwed up... Yes. But to say we have shoved it in their face suggests we were intentionally beings dicks and saying feck you to the NRL. I think it would be ridiculous if we lost more than our suspended penalty of 4 points. The thing that really annoys me is this rubbish the media is spouting about we shouldn't play the finals or what happens if we win the grand final. We are cap compliant this year and there doesn't seem to be any journo OR mrl / parra official putting this message out!!!
    • Do you have PROOF we are cap compliant this year, or just taking the word of the board before this second investigation started?
    • Good point although I would say does anyone have PROOF we are not this year???
    • Mate most of the leakers are factions of our club.

      And there is a myth doing the rounds that the NRL can and should only remove points if we are over this year, thats ridiculous too, or every club would be off scott free if as soon as they get into a new year.

    • I'm not disagreeing with any of that snakey. I am well aware that they can dock this years points for past breaches. What I am saying I'm annoyed about is that if we are compliant this year, get docked points and still make the finals or even won. The grand final, the public perception is that we have done it with an illegal team which does not seem to be the case...

"I did modern day as 1998 onwards as I didn't see them play, as some here haven't. Where I believe majority of people here have seen all the modern day players play.
Plus it frees up some spots like we all know who 5/8 will be but now no idea."
