The National Rugby League has today outlined Salary Cap penalties against five clubs for breaches found in the 2009 club audits.

The clubs were advised of the breaches last week and the NRL Board was informed of the decisions at its meeting today.

“Given the major investigation at Melbourne this year it has taken a little longer than normal to complete the annual reviews at all clubs,” NRL Chief Executive, Mr David Gallop, said today.

“It is encouraging that the largest of the fines for an undisclosed guarantee at Parramatta actually relates to the 2008 season and that for the most part in 2009 we are dealing with technical issues about the way payments should have been classified rather than deceptive conduct.

“The Salary Cap team is to be commended in terms of both these audits and the work undertaken in relation to the breaches found at the Melbourne Storm.

Especially the kitchen staff, they're responsible for everything that goes wrong, particularly the slump at the start of the season.

I'm pretty sure he burned his old ute.

THE WOW Brisbane Broncos will appeal a minor breach of the second-tier salary cap after it was handed notice of a $17,045 breach for the 2009 season yesterday.

Broncos’ chief executive Bruno Cullen said the club would fight the breach after some payments for under-20 National Youth Competition players, who work under their own cap, was also counted in the second-tier cap.

The NYC players had been used in the NRL after the Broncos went through a major injury crisis.

The NRL cap auditors have agreed the top-25 NRL salary cap was not breached.

“We are going to appeal the breach,” said Cullen.

“I’d like to explain that the Broncos have not breached the top-25 NRL salary cap.

“This breach notice has to do with a technicality involved with the second-tier cap where NYC players were used to fill in for injured NRL players.
