Broncos remain NRL's cleanest club

Hmmm... not looking good at all. Half a mill is a pretty serious figure.
 
Caught the end of Rothfield talking on Fox- he reckons it's in the area of a heavy fine situation.
 
This from a Fairfax story:

Brisbane officials immediately reported their concerns to the NRL and are comfortable with the way the club has acted.It is not thought likely at this stage that the Broncos face the loss of competition points, but the NRL is investigating the matter.
"The Brisbane Broncos have advised the NRL of some possible salary cap irregularities and asked us to look at them, which we will do," an NRL spokesperson said.

I wonder if Hannant being dropped a few weeks ago, has something to do with it.
 
In an act that can be compared to that by New Zealand Warriors management in 2006, Brisbane officials advised the NRL the club may have breached salary cap rules by guaranteeing third-party deals for players.

It is understood the value of the third-party deals under investigation total $500,000 over three years
.However, Fairfax Media has been told that no money was paid to any Broncos player, suggesting the issue came to light after complaints by a player or players about a deal not being fulfilled.

It is not thought likely at this stage that the Broncos face the loss of competition points, but the NRL is investigating the matter.

It would appear that way.

Which in turn might explain why our two most recent signings have played pretty ordinary since their arrival.

IF that was the case, what can be done to fix the situation? cant exactly pay them what was promised if it was promised illegally.

so, just hypothetically, are we left with two disgruntled players peeved off with management?

in all honesty i hope whats gone on is made clear asap.

Perhaps. But the players really need to look at their managers. Gee may be the fat lazy bastard who agreed to the Broncos guaranteeing the deals instead of doing actual legwork to source legit deals, but in reality that's their managers jobs.
 
**** me, how can we be anywhere near the cap, seriously? We just lost JYY off the books, allegedly took over Barba for $300k, none of the guys we've re-signed recently have been on big biccies....unreal.... Were looking at signing Smith for some stupid amount of coin, we seriously can't even be close!! WTF was Gee up to?! Will be very interested to find out what's gone on with this..
