From The Australian...

"MELBOURNE Storm has been stripped of two NRL titles and three minor premierships for rorting the salary cap system in an unprecedented day for rugby league in Australia. "

To rort.......to cheat or abuse the system, what a great verb


It has also come out to day that London Wasps and Newcastle Falcons owe HMRC large sums of money following investogations by HMRC into the tax treatment of image rights. London Wasps have been threatened with a winding up order.

I know lads who have played the game at decent standard & still have connections within the game, not one of them is down on their bets this year, in fact i'm not but i'm a bit gutless & and don't part with as much stake money.

Its RFL your on about, They'd give them four points back in exchange for the stake money.

and the players claim they didnt know

My onlym problem with Gould's rants about this is he seems to feel far more for the players than the fans - the only inncoent parties in the whole thing.
