How do we know that his knowledge is that it was dodgy? For all we know theyre told its all above board. Like Ike Gordon getting a needle

We don't know for sure mate but he's no dope. I'm 99% sure he knew they were over. We're not talking just a bit over.

Johnson covers the fullback hole by way of Moylan but what we really need (aside from 13 million dollars) is a second rower and another winger. I’d be trying to get Manu Mau on a 1 year deal. Full tilt at another gf for 2019.

If he knew about it he's an accessory. It's bull**** he's a cleanskin.

I tell the bloke in charge of contracts and finances I want these blokes, he says "I'll get it done". Not sure how he does it but he's my boss, I got what I need to do my job the best, off to work.

If Craig says "I don't care what it takes, I need Slater, Smith, Cronk & Inglis. I'll deliver premierships in return."

I doubt they interrupt Bellamy (who regularly slept under his desk for a couple hours rather than bother drive home after working all night) to then lay out all the dodgy **** they had to do to get him what he wanted.

If you need something for your job and your boss approves it, is it your responsibility how your boss got it?

Well I said IF he knew the cap was being rorted....if he knew then he should be talking some responsibility.

If I buy a hot car, I'm in the ****.

Every off season people forget how good Bukuya is. He was our best player in the first month this year while playing on the edge. If he stays fit that should be his spot and Williams takes over his bench spot. After that we have insane back row depth. Sorensen and Capewell both improved last years, and then Wilton, Carr and Nikora are all considered top tier prospects.

IMO the only reason we have a hole at back row is because of Wade Graham’s injury - and that can be covered by committee from the blokes above.

If I'm buying a ferrari for the price of a ford....I'd be suspicious.

The players were signing 2 contracts. How do you know Bellamy wasnt privvy to only the NRL submitted version?

If anything the players (and more so their managers) should have been more accountable.

Definitely.

Bellamy may not have been privy to the dodgy ****. What I'm saying is he's a very smart operator, I'm sure in the back of his mind he had an inkling that something didn't smell right.



I mean it's in his best interests for the team to be cap compliant. Not much point 'winning' titles only to have them stripped.

Considering everyone who follows Rugby League thought they'd be over the cap it's hard to believe that Bellamy didn't think something might be dodgy.
