Having read that Australian article, there seems to be a jagged olive branch dangled out from the NRL, as it gives the 5 the assurance that they have time to present their case to the NRL.
The big thing though is that it also means that the club can start to look to the future, I said elsewhere about how I have changed my thoughts on the board aspect, as I think many have, so its really time start to move forward & work towards the future. Its sad in some respects re Sharp as he is a die hard eels supporter, as I think a couple of others are as well, so to Daniel Anderson & worst aspect is they may well find it hard to get new jobs, Boulous likely affected that was as well.
The NRL & court has said the club can continue with the remaining board members likewise with help from Schubert for the financial side, but I would like to see Phil's option of appointing Bevan Paul as Executive Chairman then go for a new CEO, Gurr would be ideal, then to arrange new elections.
It had to come, but comes earlier now.
That is where the NRL have Parramatta over a barrel, one because our franchise agreement stops us from disputing NRL 'facts' and the other is fact we have no time. Parramatta have no option, in the short term, but to accept NRL's figure of $570k.
Over the longer term maybe it will be shown that the NRL fudged our figures as much as we did. But we can't dispute them now.
As for the individuals aka the GO5 who's reputations have been trashed and lives tarnished that is why I hope we follow through with the legal action. They bleed blue and gold and a lot people are only too happy to throw them under a bus.
To follow through on the above line of thought that the NRL doesn't have clean hands in all of this.
Wouldn't it be interesting if Parra and the GO5 pursued the legalities to their conclusion and the courts said: NRL you had no right to tarnish and diminish these men as you did. NRL you had no right to treat Parramatta as being over the cap by as much as you did.
While I am sure the NRL will never let it get to this, could you imagine the damages the GO5 and Parramatta could seek?
A theoretical scenario of course but interesting never the less!
