Parramatta eels : Tue May 03, 2016 8:19 am  

Have been fined $1million, had their nines title and prize money stripped and lost all 12 of their competition points accrued this season to date. They also need to lose $570,000 off their salary cap before their next game. Ouch! Good opportunity for us to find some quality to bolster our squad. I'm hoping Anderson has been on the phone and Purtill was on the first plane out this morning! Paulo would be nice, but someone like Gower is more likely- he might fancy another stint in the uk. A shame Danny wicks wouldn't get a visa. http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-ha ... 882f81cdda

The RFL should throw the book at Salford now and deduct them all their points, not let them into the playoffs even if they make it and fine them considerably to act as a deterrent to other clubs not to break the salary cap rules. The trouble is with the RFL they are soft and don't like to punish high profile clubs or personalities (like Koukash and a few years ago Wigan). When the RFL grow a pair of balls and make clubs stick to the rules is the day teams other than the perceived top 4 stop winning the major silverware and the competition becomes more equal and unpredictable.

I like the fact that until they get themselves under the cap by releasing players they carnt gain any more competition points, even if they win games
