JAIL THE BASTARDS

I'm not certain this is the right forum for this, but as a lifelong Parramatta fan, as a lifelong league fan, I just feel ashamed about what happened today. And I don't blame the Storm players or their fans; hey, do you know what your work colleagues are getting paid? What you have is businessmen running the game. And the culture of modern business is to lie, to cheat, to steal, to win at any cost and that is the EXACT opposite of the fundamentals of sport - a fair go, play by the rules, the best team wins.Don't forget by outrageously cheating, Storm management made enormous money through increased sponsorships, gate receipts, prize money – and that is fraud!Tonight, on the news, Storm management sat there with their tails between their legs going "we're so sorry", "Yes, we're naughty little boys", "we won't do it again."Bullshit! They've defrauded every league fan, every sports fan. What, a $500,000 fine? Stiff shit! NO! Take the entire Storm management, take their houses off them, and put them in jail for five years. That's the only punishment these dickheads will understand. And trust me - that'd fast put an end to the salary cap problem... And apologies if this all sounds a bit ranty!

  • agree
    the bastards knew what they were doing and should be punished!!!
  • Nice rant. No but I disagree on one thing. I cannot see how it is possible that players certainly the higher paid ones did not know. And of course the coach. They would have had to declare one amount to the ATO and another amount was being recieved.
  • Craig Bellamy should be shitting himself. I am a leader at my work, and I know what each and every staff member who reports to me is on. I accept the players wpuld be unaware, but he had to know.
  • surely this should be the catalyst for the re-introduction of capital punishment.
  • Dont worry this was bought up on Talk Nsport this evening and if a players manager and also believe it or not a player, knowingly recieves payments from a "third party" source that is not is not outlined in his/her contract from my understanding are actively participating in fraud and are as much as accountable as the source of the payments and charges could be laid
  • I think that guilty parties will be found out when they dig and others start rolling over. Don't be surprised if players are found out.
  • PS I reckon they'd be having a huge party at Cronulla tonight! Ha!
  • We have been robbed. I can not say just how dissapointed I am. Last year should have been all of ours to celebrate.
    • Yeah I know it makes me sick. The whole thing stinks. I take umbridge with gallop saying that all 15 clubs should feel cheated. You can't tell me that the sharks for example would feel that cheated in the whole scheme of things compared to teams they beat on their way to winning premierships. Anyway hope this makes us angry as a team and we take out some of that anger on nqld.
    • And remember too, the Storm knocked us out of the 2007 final and then went on to beat the Eagles in the GF. So, for sure, you're right in thinking us Eels fans have been ripped-off at least one flag out of all this. Michael Hagan must be spitting chips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
