Did I just hear correctly on the radio that the Storm have been stripped of their 2 NRL titles for Salary Cap breaches? :shock:

Posted: **Thu Apr 22, 2010 4:57 pm**

$1.7m over the cap over the last 5 years. Presser on TV at the moment. Lost all points and will earn no points in 2010.

Yep have been stripped of their 2 titles and 3 minor premierships

Flip that's a huge penalty!

Apparantly the NRL aren't going to do this.

You know it's big when it's the lead story on AdelaideNow

They could just play that season again in the summer. Lol.

Pretty massive news and and a huge penalty !!
It's incredible to think in this day and age that professional teams still think they can get away with these 'extra contracts' and salary cap rorts...

What about everyone they knocked out on the way??

Massive penalty, can't believe they stripped them of 2 flags! :shock:

Crazy stuff...

Could be the end of News Ltd's involvement with the NRL or at least the Storm (who they massively subsidise).

As you would expect they aren't happy:

What does that mean for the players who, I assume, were unaware of the breaches?

I assume they're no longer premiership players? Do they physically have to give back their medallions? What if some of them got an ankle tat???

Can't tell me it wouldn't be happening in the AFL too...

Posted: **Thu Apr 22, 2010 5:43 pm**

big stance by the NRL, i couldnt see the AFL doing anything remotely as severe as that

Posted: **Thu Apr 22, 2010 5:48 pm**

COULD ONLY HAPPEN IN THE NRL :shock:

Posted: **Thu Apr 22, 2010 6:05 pm**

Is this for real????

Was just reading about bookies suspending betting on Melb Storm to win the wooden spoon as well.
