But it was the NRL chiefs who presumably brought about the alleged exodus by punishing the club as it did.

Matai plays for Manly and has no bearing on Melbourne's predicament. Best place for him is in a ring with Senior and they can beat the heck out of each other

Is this happening or just rumours?

Strong rumours. Generated mainly by the Aussie press I think.

If Wigan sign those 2 then they're looking very strong next season.

Hoffman is a good signing for over here. Don't know much about Lima.

Some really quality there.

And Hock to return in June.

When the news first broke that the storm had broke SC rules and all the new was coming out, I was on holiday so didn't really got all the story and facts.

Was the players not also to blame?

They must have known all this was going on!

True, both packs look very formidable.

I certanly hope that Coley remains at Wigan for another season, he has been one of our best players this season and he looks to have another season in him for sure. Andy Coley is also part of the leadership team so he is obviousley somebody that Madge thinks can influence the players around him too.

Looking at Saints i think people will be suprised at what Soliola can do in the back row, he has been a big loss this season for you and given the circumstances i think Saints have managed pretty well in his absence. Tony Puletua is another player who's name i hope isnt on the team sheet whenever Wigan play Saints, the man is simply a beast in the forwards.

The investigation forund no evidence that Craig Bellamy or any of the players (including their agents) had knowledge of what was happening at Melbourne.

Incidently Ryan Hoffman was one of the players directly involved although again there was no evidence that he knew what was going on.

Strange how the players wouldn't know

Strange or just pure cunning from those who did?

If players did know then those who were involved in the scheme must of known that they would of been found out, particularly if relations between players and the club broke down.

The evidence does show that those who did know went to great lengths to cover their tracks.

LMAO they obviously knew about it but it's proving wrong doing. It's not upto them to police the SC and they can legitimatly say they knew nothing of others arrangements. As long as they declared to the tax man what they were earning thats them in the clear

Of course they all knew.

Inglis, Smith and Slater all had "side letters" ( a second contract) with the Storm.

Finch tows a cloud behind him which has a habit of obscuring his talent.

The others are solid enough I suppose.

From what I've heard Finch runs like he's towing a caravan too these days...

I'm sure Kyle will take great pleasure in running rings round him next year.

Would be awesome but unlikely.
