The Broncos tipped off the nrl remember. This is nothing like ASADA.
Broncos remain NRL's cleanest club

I'm more talking about having press conference about 'dark days' in sport and all the rubbish ASDA went on with.

That is the biggest load of shit ever ... basically they are saying: "you know what, we can't prove you've actually done anything wrong, but i think we'll punish you anyway"

But they would have to have strong circumstantial evidence, very strong otherwise they'll get the pants sued off them. The media keeps saying the Broncos 'May' have done his or that...they 'may' also have done nothing. I actually think the NRL is for once handling this well, they can't control what the media may or may not write.

The NRL may be able to push around the clubs but not all the clubs. They would have to tread very carefully when they take on the Broncos because raffertys rules just won't cut it. If we have done wrong as a club we must endure punishment but it had better be fair or the NRL will find itself in a fearsome fight.

It amazes me why they can't get past why he would accept less to come here.
-better weather and lifestyle
-this is his home town
-this is the team he grew up supporting
-his family are here, which is a big thing in the Polynesian community
-his dad is sick
-the raiders are a joke
-he will get mentored by his idol
No, there must be another reason apparently.
The other thing I don't get is we here about players signing for less all the time. I'm assuming their next stop is Kevin Procters house to find out the REAL reason he stayed at the storm for less money

if they investigate the Broncos because Milford accepted less to play here, then:
they also have to investigate the Tigers for Tedesco accepting less
and the Storm for Proctor accepting less

I don't even understand why this is an issue for the NRL. If a player wants to intentionally keep their value low for the sake of staying at a club, that is none of the NRL's business.

maybe they want to make some work for the integrity unit ... because they are going to be busy investigation the clubs that convince the players to sign on for less ... especially if it was the Raiders making the massive offers.
here is a quote from a Roy Masters article .. and i think he is pulling figures out of his ass (or sensationalizing it for the sack of the DT selling papers)

It's dragging on a bit but it still feels like a massive beat up for mine. Brisbane and Gold Coast aren't going too well on the field, Cowboys are building to something but have been there before, so journos need to keep people interested somehow.

Yeah but compare this to the Storm situation of 2010. No one had any idea until the day before Gallop announced the penalties. If there was anything sinister they would have found it by now. Brisbane dobbing themselves in is just them getting out in front of it.

Read the book storm cloud (terrific book btw)
Word was around for a month or so before 22/4 that the Storm were in strife and was in major trouble salary wise. The CFO cried his way home the day before the penalties were announced after he saw a young smiling fan marvelling at the Storm mock lockers at their offices.
