**** this. You better get cleared of this shit Broncos. I won't be supporting a club that cheats like Melbourne do.
Broncos remain NRL's cleanest club

You could bet your house on it
If this is a guaranteed third party in their contract, then Brisbane will have to stump the money up or find another third party for them, but if its the players third party which is not sponsored by the club, then there should be no issue. Atleast they are taking the right measures by formally identifying the matter and letting the NRL deal with it. If there is breaches, then there should be a clean out of those involved.

I just don't understand how the NRL could have the audacity to throw the book at us when you have teams like the Roosters and Manly running around filled with rep players. I am going to be livid if this costs us Milford, and if it does then I seriously hope that Bennett comes back next year to pull us out the mire.

I often thought about this after the Storm saga. I think I would stick by the club (unless it was systemic rorting that everyone was involved in). I'm not going to drop them because of one dipstick who did the wrong thing.

Yeah this is exactly where I am at. If it turns out to be systematic rorting of the cap storm style (which I honestly doubt it is) then I may rethink my position, but anything else I will stick by the club because that's just me, I'm loyal to a fault

Too true. And if this turns out to be a bit of a storm in a tea cup they will still call this stormesque cheating but claim that it was all covered up blah blah blah

That's what I was thinking.
It's either Hannant or Hoffman IMO.
Those 2 have been reported to be unhappy at the club.

Mate, let's just hope on our cotton socks that it's Hoffman and he requests an immediate release.

Exactly.
Really if you look at all the evidence it seems someone has guaranteed third party deals to a player(s) that haven't come through, the manager has whinged, club finds out Gee has fucked up so he is gone and the broncos alert the NRL. A heavy fine and no more from what I can see.
On a side note, does anyone else feel that the media are trying to blow this up into more than it is? Badds writes a story, then the tweets from other journalists start 'Don't underestimate this' 'This will rock the broncos to their core'. It just seems over the top. Like if this really will rock the club to the core and if it is this major issue it will sell it's self. Kinda like you know a movie is going to be shit when the over hype it for months in advance

Exactly. Mostly other News Ltd journos with their "club in crisis" crap.

Like another poster said in the first page, if this was really on Storm or Bulldog levels of rorting then the NRL would have broken it or made a statement by now. I think it's a cut and dry case revolving around one player not getting third party payments (from what I've read), but I hope that's not justification for us to lose competition points and/or Milford for next year.
I don't want to make this sound like a conspiracy type deal, but I think the NSW centric media are over hyping this because of its close proximity with origin. If it somehow manages to destabilise QLD and get NSW the win, then they will have material to write about for weeks. Journalistic integrity doesn't even factor into the modern day journalist's vocabulary.

That was nothing matey, I'm left handed and when I scroll on my iphone it would've just been a miss. I used to get myself in a bit of trouble for 'accidentally' liking things on Facebook doing the same thing haha.

the reports have said that it is similar to the Warriors during the 2006 preseason.
In that case the Warriors reported themselves to the NRL as well.
they are also saying that it is not likely that we will be stripped of comp points (at this stage) more likely a heavy fine
