Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2293704, member: 2115"] they dont have to admit that, because noone knows who wouldve left/stayed had they been under the salary cap. its all well and good to say that they wouldnt have their big 4 players, but we dont know 100% that they wouldnt be there - from all reports, the players genuinely love the team and also - and this is a big part of it - love living in Melbourne. living there for them gives them relative anonymity. they MIGHT have stayed there for $200k less than theyre on, if the only other option was moving to Cronulla to play in a rubbish team and then put up with being in the spotlight every minute of their life. we just dont know. the team wasnt FORMED on the basis of cheating, the admins cheated to RETAIN the team that they formed legally. The players have nothing to admit to IMO. can you say, with 100% certainty, that Melbourne would not have been the best team over the last few years if they were under the salary cap? can you say with 100% certainty that they wouldnt have Inglis/Smith/Cronk/Slater? i sure cant.
