Parramatta Eels prepared to take NRL to court over salary cap

PARRAMATTA chairman Steve Sharp has threatened Supreme Court action if the NRL strips them of four competition points for salary cap breaches.The Eels have asked the NRL to inform them within the next week if they will hand down the suspended four-point penalty for more than $400,000 worth of salary cap breaches in 2014, as announced last season.However Sharp says the current administration have worked hard to remedy the previous issues and didn’t deserve the punishment to stand against them.“If it does - and we don’t think it will come to that - we’d fight ... (it to the) Supreme Court,” Sharp told The Daily Telegraph.Video: Norman lights up the Auckland Nines for the eels“Obviously I’m a Parramatta man and love the club. But starting on minus-four points ... I just don’t think the game needs that sort of drama.”Sharp also refuted claims the club was in financial strife, highlighting the fact the Eels’ Leagues Club turned a profit of $12 million in 2015, which was not accounted for in reports the football club had lost $8 million in the same season.“We’re investing in the club’s future,’’ Sharp said.“We’ve gone from training on a ground where dogs would run through ballwork sessions to a state-of-the art facility where everything is under the one roof.

"Parra have enough information that could possibly put the NRL and storms exposed which this could possibly or potentially start a war and a super league like comp being form."
