Wooooaaaaah! I live in NZ and rugby league is pretty big down here ( although waay bigger in Aussie) and this huge scandal has just errupted regarding the storm cheating the salary cap. Any NRL fans out there care to share their thoughts?

I think its disgraceful. they have so many huge players like Slater, Inglis, smith and have dominated the game in the past 4 or 5 years and now it comes out that they have been cheating. I can see now why they have so many big players and have managed to be so sucessful but they have been cheating to do so. Its really unfair to other teams. I just can't see how they managed to get away with this?

Anyway, rant over!

I heard on the radio just before the news broke that there had been several big bets ($10,000ish) on the Storm to finish with the wooden spoon and that Sportsbet Australia had suspended betting on it. Sounds like some really dodgey dealings have been going on. Ah well, maybe the Warriors will manage to get a win out of it... oh yeah... it's the Warriors, so probably not.

Haha yeah the Warriors are no stranger losing when you think they should win... much like the Hurricanes. Just my luck that all the teams I support end up that way.....

I still can not believe the storm got every thing stripped. They sure came out to play last night though. ( Maybe i should change my avatar )

P.s I loved the warriors supporter with the giant cut out of the wooden spoon with the storms name on it classic.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.

I live in Melbourne and I can definitely say that it was a massive shock to the whole city! Main news story the whole week it first became public. The first thought I had when I heard of their punishment (stripped of everything!) was how in the world are they going to come back from this?
