Threatened by the NRL, had to do with terminating salaries coming off the cap

The Storm were only ever told that the were not permitted to re-negotiate contracts to get under the salary cap ... that they had to shed players to get there.
There also may have been something about any shortfall between the Storm contracts and the players new clubs would come off the Storm cap as well.
If the reports are true ... The Broncos situation is completely different. Our problem is that we reportedly guaranteed TPA's (without declaring them on our cap) not that we actually paid any money to any players

Paul Kent said the same thing on NRL 360 last night, but he caveated the comment with, 'it's still up in the air' and even he wouldn't commit to it actually being certain, with his well known Broncos bias.

papers were saying it had nothing to do with the investigation ... but more that he was head hunted by another organisation.

Well to be fair taking points off us when we most likely are going to miss the finals already isn't really a punishment.

maybe not ... but they also shouldn't deliberately hold the investigation (if thats what they are doing) so they can issue a penalty for the 2015 season.
this also assumes we will lose competition points, which may not even happen

Well if something does come out of this...............I'm not sure which is worse, losing points from next year.....or just knowing that even after trying to cheat the system we are still useless. :bike:

Well, to be fair, delaying a punishment until it hurts more isn't, you know, fair

they wouldnt be delaying the punishment - the punishment would be to start the next full season on minus points.
like i said, punishments only work if you actually get punished. taking points off you when you already cant make the finals isnt a punishment.

That's a completely irrelevant consideration. If the NRL is delaying the investigation so that they can punish us next year then you can expect litigation to be launched (and indeed, it will probably succeed). Even Melbourne was punished in the year when the breach was discovered......
