Parramatta are prepared to give up on this season if Anthony Watmough isn't cleared from the salary cap, with fears the Eels could set themselves back another three years if they shed their best talent to play for points from next week.

Yep... I don't think we have a snowballs chance in hell of winning 12 of 15.
Radradra upgrade and Norman signing above all else. If it mean playing dead then so be it.
Same....it's Todd get it done.....or go f..k yourself NRL!!!
This is the absolute right call. They will not play in the finals anyway, The NRL could not allow that. This whole scenario of getting under the cap to play for points is all a ruse to please all parties. I was gutted yesterday just like everyone else and would have supported them if they went on to compete, even though I realized that the finals were a pipe dream, but common sense finally dawned on me today as to what the NRL were actually asking of us to become compliant and the price is just too high, especially as they are never going to allow us to get near their finals anyway.
If we push to become compliant and in doing so,let go of our future team, then I think we are doing it under duress. By that, I mean that the NRL have threatened to use a smoking gun on the players to force us to shed players. I think that smoking gun is to threaten individual players who may have taken paper bags of cash with a tip off to the ATO. This is what I think Greenburg meant when he said that there may be more to follow.
I hope I am wrong, but I still think the NRL have spent much time planning the control of this mess and they are doing it to finally take control of our club.
Our idiot board have served our club up on a platter and the NRL are salivating over the feast
Didn't want to see us play for no points because that would be hard to justify to a team that started the season cap compliant, more to the point.
