I guess what I'm saying is if anyone is able to rort the system, it will be us. And look where we are on the table. The Roosters aren't exactly a team of superstars. They got a junior halfback over us, while we had our eyes on Tom Dearden and Tanah Boyd. We fumbled that.
It reminds me of how Manly used to be called the Silverbacks. They had nothing on what we have now.
Still, I concede that clubs are calling each other cheats behind their backs. If that's what they think they have an avenue to lodge complaints with a team of auditors who'll spring into action. What more could the NRL do?
More than two-thirds of NRL club bosses believe there are teams who are rorting the system by facilitating off-the-books payments to their players outside the salary cap.
