[QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2678710, member: 8215"] [URL]http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/parramatta-salary-cap-scandal-club-faces-fines-of-up-to-500000/story-fnp0lyn3-1227362519158[/URL] [B]PARRAMATTA is facing a fine of up to $500,000 for salary cap breaches.[/B] The NRL has confirmed this morning the Eels have been under investigation for several months. It relates to their salary cap last year and having to pay players who were cut by previous coach Ricky Stuart. Among those who were forced out include Reni Maitua, Matt Keating and Cheyse Blair. It is believed the club is still paying part of their contracts. The NRL and the eels are expected to issue a joint press statement later today. The salary cap breaches will raise question marks on how the club was able to sign Anthony Watmough, Kieran Foran and Beau Scott in the last six months although they did lose Jarryd Hayne. At this stage there is no suggestion the club will be docked competition points. The Eels were put on notice of the breaches at the beginning of the year after an off-season audit of their books. Remarkably the club still wants Sharks fullback Michael Gordon in a mid-season transfer. “I called him a couple of days ago just to make sure he was okay,” said Eels coach Brad Arthur said. “I just wanted to reassure him that if he can make the move over here, we’re still willing to have him. But my main concern was that he was not in a good headspace. “He said he’s struggling a little bit. But he’s a pretty strong kid, in the dealings I’ve had with him. I think he’ll be okay.” The Eels have tabled a deal for Gordon until the end of 2016, however Arthur insists the club could be forced to look elsewhere for a fullback. “I think he’s still hopeful. We’re still hopeful. But it’s getting to the stage where, it’s nine days (sic) now until the deadline’s up,” he said. “If we can’t get anything sorted between now and then, we’ll obviously need to get a fullback moving forward for next year.” [/QUOTE]
