Parramatta hope to convince the NRL that they should only have to trim as little as $150,000 from their salary cap this year in order to be playing for points against South Sydney next Friday, a figure that would comfortably be achieved with the retirement of Anthony Watmough.

The NRL indicated on Thursday their cap blowout could be revised during the preliminary breach notice period based on discussions with L'Oste Brown, with a similar development occurring last year when a $525,000 fine for other cap excesses was later reduced to $465,000.
F..k me then how about revising the 12 points!!!!
Now watch the NRL fluff around with this for another 3 months while we play for NO POINTS.
Up to a 36 ring circus now.
Indeed... Greenberg said we lost the points because we were over the cap by 570k+ but now its 150k... Run by idiots...
That figure doesn't include Morgan leaving either and with the imminent retirement of watmough we should well and truly be under the cap.
Basically the Eels are disputing the figures and could be as little as $150k we have to shed off the cap...NRL admit that the figure can be revised....
Fairfax Media has been told by sources at the Eels that they were under the cap by $200,000 as of last month. Schubert's latest sums, which include the exit of Ryan Morgan to Melbourne and third-party deals they've subsequently been breached for, are understood to have them in a best-case scenario having to shed about $150,000 from their roster.
The retirement of Watmough would easily cover that, particularly if the NRL agreed to backdate his career-ending injury and remove his full $700,000 contract from this year's figures.
The Eels believe there are some anomalies in the way the NRL has calculated their cap position including some entries being double counted and are looking to work through them with salary cap auditor Jamie L'Oste Brown.

That's nothing. I once had my phone change "babe" to "Vanessa" for some reason (HUAWEI phone). I received a text from my wife saying "who the fuck is Vanessa?". It got bloody ugly for a couple hours. Haha
