The NRL today issued a breach notice to the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles after concluding its investigation into salary cap issues at the club.
The notice concerns preliminary findings of potential breaches of the salary cap over the last five years.
Should these preliminary findings be confirmed, proposed sanctions could include a significant fine on the club.
The club could also be required to adjust its salary cap for 2018 to recognise commitments made to players that are found to be in breach of the cap.
In addition to the matters relevant to the club, show cause notices have also been issued to two current club officials, requiring them to demonstrate why their registrations should not be cancelled.
NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said the Manly club and both officials have already been provided with opportunities to assist the NRL during this investigation.
They will now be given a chance to respond formally to the preliminary findings before final determinations are made.
Mr Greenberg said that, in accordance with the NRL Rules, the parties have been given five days to respond to the breach notices but, given the seriousness of the allegations, the NRL would consider a request for an extension of time.

Totally agree, he was up to his eyeballs in it
i did see hes stepped away to help hes daughter..
Shouldn't they be docked points? I believe the breaches all involve TPA's.
Sounds like they need to cut players to become compliant for 2018 and be able to play for points. Had they played games in 2018 with an illegal squad, then maybe.
They won't lose points cause they are the darling of The NRL.
