What really happened was Semmler sent a letter to the PLFL in regards to the transfer of M Parker.
Parker agreed to return to the MRFC origionaly but when it was confirmed that Semmler was coaching the TFC it became evident that Parker had second thoughts about returning to the MRFC. After a meeting between Parker and Semmler they wrote a letter to the PLFL to see if there was anything they could do about the clearance not going through and Parker remaining at the TFC. The letter from Semmler to the PLFL was on a TFC letterhead and was signed, and this is where the problem arose that Semmler was under contract with the MRFC until Dec 31 ....yet.... he had been appointed TFC coach in the press and was sending letters with a TFC letterhead when all we knew he was still a MRFC player. After investigating it was determined the MRFC had received no correspondance from the TFC in regards to Semmler.
We found the TFC guilty and fined them $750 with NO loss of premiership points.
Let this be a warning to you all

Does PL footy really need the Tigers, after last years efforts I'd say no. It's a bye anyway, might as well just call the day off and go fishing!![/quote]
