Prince implicated in alleged cap breach
Posted March 26, 2010 19:05:00

The NRL is investigating an alleged salary cap breach involving claims a sponsor agreed to build Gold Coast skipper Scott Prince a $400,000 house.

A News Limited report claims a former sponsor of the Titans had agreed to build the club's marquee man a house free of charge.

The NRL says it is taking the allegations seriously, although early investigations have been met by denials from Gold Coast chief executive Michael Searle.

"We will certainly look into it further but at this stage we have spoken to Michael Searle and he strongly denies any breach of the salary cap and has offered complete access to the salary cap auditor to examine all accounts," NRL chief executive David Gallop said.

News Limited says it will publish more details of the alleged breach on Saturday.

The NRL refused to confirm what information had been passed on by the media organisation, but said it would welcome further information.

"We are always happy in the meantime to receive any information that people wish to bring forward," Gallop said.

The Titans failed to return calls to AAP.

Prince - the inaugural captain of the Titans - re-signed with the club on a massive five-year deal in April last year, the contract not set to expire until the end of the 2014 NRL season.

you'd think a Norwood supporter would be trying to hide this, not publicise it...

We've been done. We're just waiting for other clubs to cop theirs.

For it to be going on still to such an extent , well it stinks of complicity ......... actually reminds me of the drug battle in the world of sport , the cheats always finding new and innovative ways to stay ahead of the testers ( SANFL auditors ) . North are not alone , but their top ten players would have to take up the majority of their whole cap ? So the rest are on peanuts ? ;)

What has this got to do with the North Adelaide Football Club? We aren't building player's houses.

Maybe we should. Then when players put on a performance like last Friday, we could burn it down.

Allegedly a North player is disgruntled with the club as a promise for a lifetime supply of coopers after his retirement has been replaced by West End draught cans. ;)

That's not a player, it's a supporter! ;)
Word is he'll only be hanging out for one more year so he's been temporarily appeased. :lol:
