Raiders Need an Accountant

The Daily Tele has this story on how the Raiders went way over their salary cap last year and are now being hit by a big fine. Most of it seems to not to be over paying their big players, which causes most salary cap infringements, but their ability to declare and pay fringe benefits, over use of second tier players, and deferring payments until after the season.

So a decent accountant should probably be able to keep them out of strife this year.

On an unrelated matter, did anyone hear about the Canberra Times journo who got sacked for asking Carney to ‘have a drink with him?’

What is quite astonishing is how the Raiders were anywhere near the salary cap to have to worry about some accounting errors breaking it. Its not like they were/are loaded with big name players on huge salaries.

Yeah, but points removal made a difference to the Bulldogs…

Didn’t the Bulldogs get stripped of competition points when they did this?
