To say I am extremely pissed off would be an understatement.

By all means bring the swans back to Melbourne and take that crap back up to Sydney.

Maybe the NRL should have given Storm the extra million in the salery cap that we get.(and Brisbane as well).Hindsight is a great thing.

I had thought the same thing, although they wouldn't need anywhere need that much. For the previous 4 seasons the breach totalled $1,000,000.

Interestingly, the Bulldogs were that amount over in 2 seasons and only copped a slap on the wrist compared to the Storm.

I think that Sydney and Brisbane were allowed 115% of the salary cap and it looks lilke the Storm with their breaches would have spent about 110% of the salary cap.

Pity that the NRL plays for a trophy and not prize like ours. The we could have made jokes about storms in premiershiip cups etc.

From a RWO point of view it would have been so much better if this had have blown up in the off season. We could have merged the thread with a death penalty one.
