Who's going to get Matt King's medal then....Monaghan or Hicks?

The money goes evenly to the other 15 clubs, the boys are no longer premiership winners, but the defeated teams do not get the grand final they were defeated in as that would be unfair to teams knocked out of the minor premiership.

Mr Moranovich needs to go to Australia and sign Billy Slater (as back up for Mathers of course), mind you what has he won now ?



Is he going to want to play for Melbourne when they cant accrue any points for the rest of the season.

Hodgsons contract should be put on hold for a while.

Unless he is too busy at the shredding machine

BH is signed, sealed and delivered, apart from that there are a number of clubs in the NRL who are after Slater now

Yes you're right BH deal is signed sealed and delivered, too late for Billy Slater now! Anyway I don't think Billy can kick like Brett so you're kicking problems are now solved for 2 years.

Bulldogs, Rabbitohs and Titans are on the hunt for new FB's, any hope for Slater a slim....

I hope it doesnt affect moral at warrington with king, hicks and monas and having the 2007 premiership stripped which they all played in

Oh Dear I can see a new song developing for your oppositions fans!
"Where's your medals gone, where's your medals gone. Where's your medals gone, where's your medals gone. Far far away."
Sorry I just couldn't resist that

That would be a crap song seeing as it would only apply to one medal for one player, and they have all got a Challenge Cup medal anyway.

For the time being!!

How do you know? is there even any truth in this atall or is a case of the best friends uncles long lost cousin told you?

Are the RFL looking to take the medals from them?

Rings

We have challenge cup winners ones

The Aussies strip a team of its titles and all prize money earnt for breaking the salary cap where in comparison the RFL dishes out little more than a slap on the wrist to our teams that broke the salary cap

Guaranteed bro

From Mathers Twitter...

RichardMathers WOW!! kingy is gonna get hammered tomorrow especially the manly boys who played in the 07 final! plus he has a tattoo saying storm 07!! ha!

Should of done that over here Wigoon would have gone down.

No need to sweat it Matt, nor the Manly boys, all teams were not good enough on the day, based on the news story that Storm have been rorting the salary cap for five years, lets go back to the 2005 premiership.

The Weststigers played with a talented team that had a total salary that peaked at 2.8 million dollars for the year, that team was the best out of all teams as they won the Grand final, the Storm did not, even though the cap was being breach during that period.

Back to what I mentioned earlier, no other team was good enough to beat them.

The boys should be proud of their accomplishments, both singularly and collectively. Ray Price of the Eels was asked if the 2009 premiership should be given to the Eels, he said no, that's not how you win.

This will be all forgotten in the near future, its just a storm in a tea cup.

How that's tax case coming along?
