Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2991964, member: 8215"] I get what the Tigers did was wrong, and was against the rules, but it was one that you could understand was a bit different to the normal cap-cheating type scenario. Obviously the rule is there to prevent players from being paid "less" as a contracted players and then having the difference made up by a lucrative cushy post-playing job. But it would not be unusual for players and teams to be discussing partnerships pertaining to when the boots have been hung up. Regardless, it was a very fast, decisive, non-nonsense decision. And in stark contrast to what's happened with Cronulla. That saga has dragged on for an eternity, and there still looks to be no end in sight. And like most others on here, it appears to me like they're deliberately dragging it out so that they avoid finding any possible reason for 2016 to be compromised. My guess is that their coming down hard on Flanagan is their attempt to appear heavy-handed with the Sharks, even though the coaching issue is completely separate to the salary cap issue, with the latter having not been dealt with at all.
