Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2296718, member: 1764"] Were you involved in the investigation? Do you know it was a case of Ian Schubert looking through the books and going "Ah HAH! Found this payment! What do you have to say for yourself?" with Bruno kicking at the floor going "oh bugger, you sprung me." Or was it more like "Can you explain why this third party agreement isn't listed in the player's contract?" "Oh, shit, Ernie in the footy department stuffed up there!" Obviously the payment was transparent enough to be easily found by the mediocre NRL auditing process, whereas the Storm, Bulldogs and Warriors were using methods that were completely undetectable by those audit processes. It's just like a high tackle. 99% of them are accidental and so the player might cop a week or two suspension. Then occasionally there's the one where the player wanted to kill the other guy...they cop 16 weeks+. Same thing. There are degrees of breaking the rules, and the penalties are designed to cater for the degree of breach. You aren't seriously suggesting the Storm should've just copped a fine for their cheating are ya? [/QUOTE]
