Salary cap shenanigans

[Inside Shoulder]

Don't the ARu have to finish there report into Beale and Coopers bar fight that they still haven't started before they move onto this?

I think theyre expecting a re-enactment in argentina!

 

[rugbyisfun]

still no response from the ARU. Is O'Neill kidding???

 

[Roundawhile]

I still reckon a statement will be released between xmas and new year, probably on boxing day!

With due respect, it would be a tremendously stupid PR move for the ARU to post negative news about rugby for public consumption during the wallaby season. News should only be released after all domestic tickets have been sold or the games played. If they did so before hand they should be looking for a new PR department.

As opposed to the tripe they served up to 70,000 paying customers on Saturday night - WJ just what wasn't negative in the media reports on Sunday morning in relation to Australian Rugby? A little cash rorting might make some of the old timers misty-eyed for the days when they used to find a couple of pineapples slipped into their bags after a good win.....

Ugh I love a positive attitude

It's a two person team, one payed, one unpaid. They follow JoN around, tell him his hair looks good and also post positive feedback on daily telegraph online articles before printing them off and presenting them to the board as feedback I believe.

Plus they chip in for cake when it's someone's birthday.

"The hair looks great John! You shouldn't have bought the kids size sunglasses though."

Nice try, Runkle in a wig!

Love the signature line, Swat.

Thanks Bruce, I've suggested it for the next round of stubbie holders.

We normally call a sheep herder a shepherd.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Does anyone think Swat may have meant shagger not herder.

 

[Swat]

We normally call a sheep herder a shepherd.

I avoided that because a shepherd is also defined as a person who protects, guides, or watches over a person or group of people. Something that our sheep herder has failed to do. Also, anything with religious connotations should be avoided, we don't want Dingo thinking he's Jesus.

Maybe I should have said "We've got the cattle, but a Dingo doesn't make a good cattle-dog"

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Either is good.

 

[Ash]

Also, anything with religious connotations should be avoided, we don't want Dingo thinking he's Jesus.

What? Like a carpenter? Or maybe a myth?

More rumblings from Growden.

An Australian province is expected to be slapped with a massive fine shortly as part of the Australian Rugby Union's investigation into a salary cap rort. The rort, revealed in The Sun-Herald several weeks ago, involves an ''invoicing'' system where players are paid cash ''under the table'' via their clubs. The ARU has been interviewing numerous figures in the past few weeks, and it is believed they are targeting at least five officials from one Australian province. There has been a lot of bobbing and weaving, but Sunday Maul understands that in the past week there have been major developments, with several officials implicated. It also appears the once-strong relationship between two high-profile officials from the same province has collapsed. They were close buddies. But one will now not take the calls of the other. Guilt, fear or what?

All because that province's current official is assigning all the blame onto a recently departed official.
