Stunning new details have emerged of Jason Irvine’s role as the bagman in Parramatta’s salary cap scandal, with the former footy manager paying Jarryd Hayne nearly $40,000 from his personal account.
However, Hayne wasn’t the biggest beneficiary - former forward Lee Mossop received almost $50,000 in payments.

A series of transactions, including those to and from Irvine’s personal First Options Credit Union bank account, were tendered to the court as part of the agreed facts. They show that the Parramatta Leagues Club paid landscape contractor Green Options about $95,000 for work that was never completed. Green Options managing director Tony Herman told the court he transferred money to a bank account he assumed belonged to the club, but it was in fact the personal account of Irvine.
The bank statements show that Irvine paid out almost the exact amount to two Eels players, Hayne and Mossop, in a series of transactions from January 27 to March 16 of 2015.
The money paid to Hayne was to an account named ‘Abdullah’ - in three instalments of $10,000 and then further payments of $5000 and $4000.
However, the big winner was Mossop. Although the former England international turned out to be a giant flop - he played just three games for Parramatta in an injury-ravaged 2015 stint before returning to the Super League - Irvine paid ‘Mossop Management’ amounts of $15,000, $9600, $14,600 and $9600.
Irvine even returned a payment of $5000 back to Green Options, ensuring the ledger between what he and the players were paid was almost square.
Former Eels CEO Scott Seward avoided a conviction and jail time for his role in the affair, although it remains to be seen if Irvine is as fortunate. While the details of the salary cap scandal were laid bare two years ago, there is still no movement on the player agents involved. One of managers was involved in the last two salary cap scandals but continues to go about his business, making a mockery of the NRL’s inaction.
In a separate court action, former Parramatta chairman Roy Spagnolo is taking the leagues club to the Supreme Court over the cancellation of his membership.

The part to me is found in the last two paragraphs and why I added the When will it end in the title, along with the SMH heading.
Colin you remind me of a old lady with bad period pain , it was over in late 2016 , what ever comes out now or in the future has nothing to do with the club.
From the mouth of genuine experience Frankie, good to sum yourself up so neatly in so few words this time round you may collect a doughnut for your Cinderella dreaming.
Won't somebody think of the children?!?!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ''a bank account called Abdullah''
Colin you should post more on TCT as that site is so up you're alley it's not funny , to see you and 60s in a room chewing the fat on all things Parramatta over a class of Milo would be one of the most hilarious things anyone could witness.
Well thank you Frankie, for once in your deprived life you can put a post/reply in that doesn't show your sexual inadequate life. I now await the next usual tirade that includes me in you outbursts of being a dope, that should be nice as you then fill it with innuendo's about sexual problems, but, hang on you already had that fantasy call in your first post here. Have you been sexually deprived for years now Frankie and you get your satisfaction from putting everyone else down as a result.
What also amazes me is how you totally have lost the plot in the human race along with ignoring the aspects of my pointing out the last two paragraphs, perhaps its past your understanding. If it finished as you imply, in 2016, then why is it put in a Newspaper article. Likewise that reference makes the point of a question that many others here on 1eeyed have asked regarding the investigation of player agents, yet you have not commented to those in your deprived mind, but target others. Time for you to have some warm milk and an arrowroot biscuit and lie down for the day. week or however long you should.
Pops, as I said elsewhere I am sorry I posted this blog, seems Frankie needs some lessons I how to read a blog and not drop out of it have way through and take it that he knows it all.
Anyway, I'm over it and don't give a rats one way or another. If he tries the boot on you mate, just load your duds with some spring material that will send his foot flying into his mouth. Gee on reading that, what I just said would love to see it actually happen as it would be hilarious.
