So I'm sure we've all heard stories of the creative ways that clubs circumvent the cap, so I thought we could throw a few of them up. Please don't make any actual allegations about a particular player, mind you so the site doesn't get in trouble.
So I'll start. 1) Souths player who when moving to Sydney was delivered a fridge as a gift. What was more interesting was the fact that the fridge was filled with cash not food.

Did he then sell the fridge at an auction advertising it "as is with cold hard cash"
Another one I've heard first hand from a good mate and ex player who once owned a pretty good Fish shop on the side was , the club in question whilst having its own catering dept used to order lots of their catering through his Fish shop . Whilst he invoiced them for 000's and 000's he never once delivered as much as one crab stick . This player played for a club with a cable water skiing park at the time , This player has recently worked for our club .
He told me a heap of these stories , I'll post a few more when I get more time .
Fark Wiz, you should've told me about that Fish Shop trick before - might've never sold it....

Yes interesting that last part of the article wasn't it. Very interesting.
Ms Peris said her boyfriend later apologised for "flipping" and gave her a $700 gift card, a club prize given to him by the Roosters, "because he felt bad".
