Greenburg said we are $575K over the cap this year and that we have continued to cheat the cap for 6 years and continue to do so.
This is his clear message.
Opposition forums, public, media, everyone believes we are recalcitrant cheats and importantly are fielding a side that is only there because we are hugely over the cap and cheating.
Opposition officials and supporters think we are lucky to only be docked 12 points and not be completely wiped out this year.
But wait on I thought we had mismanaged our cap previously but the new team came in and self reported and this year we are not over the cap.
Who is lying,we all assume dodgy board must be lying. But it is Greenburg that has mislead everyone.
WE WERE UNDER THE CAP THIS YEAR. WE WERE NOT CHEATS. WE HAD OUR HOUSE IN ORDER.
THE ONLY REASON WE ARE OVER IS BECAUSE THE NRL DECIDED THAT TPAs FROM 2-3 YEARS AGO WERE NOT AT ARMS LENGTH, AND ARBITRARILY ADDED $570K TO THIS YEAR.
I am not saying that they are not allowed to do this. But the truth is that we were not cheating this year but the NRL have put us over the cap because of issues from 2-3 years ago.
This is not what they told the world. They said we continued to flout the rules and that we are still cheaters.
That is slander pure and simple.
This team is fair.
The NRL wants us to pay this year for what happened 2-3 years ago, when we had a wooden spoon team. Which may have been more bad management than cheating.
The point is that we self reported and have fixed previous issues and got ourselves compliant with the cap.
The truth makes it sound like we have been dealt harshly, and if with Watmough's injury taken into account we would be under the cap even with the arbitrary removal of a huge chunk of cap for this year and maybe not losing any points this year would be fair.
But the lie makes everyone believe we been treated too leniently and must be wiped out this year. I agree if we put ourselves $500K over this year we should be rubbed out. But not if the NRL arbitraily removed cap space because of self-reported issues 3 years ago.
So why is Greenburg slandering us? Because he just did.

I put it like this; if i picked out five 1eyedeel members at random and came into your houses and checked your hard drives I reckon id find downloaded hollywood movies on at least 4, maybe even all 5 of the hard drives. If there after all 5 were charged and found guilty in court would it be right for all other members to banish them and refer to them as dodgy criminals knowing full well that they themselves have just as many copied movies or even worse on their hard drives.
Just saying
Really have to move on from denial mate and get into angry. You know we are cheats, we have rorted the cap for years and almost got away with it. I think if we didn't buy every marquee player under the sun this year we would have gotten away with it, but hey clubs, media and those dirty dirty opposition supporters got us.
Sharpy was the best chair we ever had, he just happened to be a useless tool who cheated as well.
Move on bru, let the butthurt healing start.
The truth is probably something like :
We 50% got shafted and 50% deserved some kind of penalty. Or maybe it was even 90% shafted and 10% deserved?
But its all so sad now. Just so sad.
The NRL have told everyone we are still cheating and we did not get our hous in order.
If NRL are correct we should be rubbed out.
But it simple is not true.
We are only over the cap this year because just yeterday they decided to arbitrarily remove $575K of cap space for this year. Our current team otherwise is squeaky clean.
THEY LOOKED AND LOOKED BUT FOUND NOTHING FOR 2016
Standing up for yourself and saying what you said about me is a lie is not whinging
Bending over and taking punishment that you do not deserve is not manning up
You say you know and you have been proven right, why are you continuing to attack others here who voice another opinion. Are you so insecure that you need the recognition of others or is there some other reason that you go onto every blog tell people to wake up?
People are within their right to question some of the NRLs verdicts based on previous sanctions aren't they? Currently we are being called a stain on the game, can we actually get lower? So why not question and get some detail.
For ages we complain about the club taking early pleas while watching other clubs successfully fight charges. Now you are saying we have been caught and should just give up without questioning? How do the media know the NRL results before the club or players? Are they squeaky clean.
Mate if you're happy with the outcome and what you know then that's great, but why tell people here that they are not allowed to ask questions, to vent or discuss.
We have actually been caught doing something wrong, no doubt. But what I want to know is, is it as bad as they are saying 'a stain'. Or is it some player managers wanting TPAs as part of agreeing to a contract and our board being foolish enough not to hide it properly. I don't mind paying for my sins, but don't call me the altimate serial thief when I get caught stealing a pencil from the stationary cupboard.
They added TPAs to this year and called it cheating this year. That is misleading and should be corrected so that the fans of other clubs and the media become of aware of this fact.
