I agree. I also want the 2009 trophy to be on display at Eels HQ... even though its a hollow victory.
Why? The players didn't cheat , they won the trophy fair and square.
The storm players don't go around to each others bank accounts to check if they are over the cap, they just go out on the field and play their hearts out like everyone else, they shouldn't be held to account for a management issue that was hidden well enough that Gallop and his Sydney Rugby League goons couldn't find it.
The Bronco's have been investigated time and again over allegations of salary cap breaches, and it seems to me that in the precedent of the Bulldogs penalty,m the Storm has been hit with a pretty heavy hand which will almost break them.
It looks from an interstate perspective like Sydney is trying to penalise the trophy into the hands of an undeserving Sydney club.
Money is killing every kind of sport there is in this country and biased little hitlers are ruining it for the fans. I'm just about over it all.
