I've heard he is overseas somewhere in rehab...
They certainly played gutsy, shame that it wont count for much when they eventually take points of them. This could have been their year too!

Who leaves Parra to get them under the cap?

I wonder if Junior Paulo will be released to Canberra.
Watmough to retirement and Ryan Morgan (to the storm already) that should be enough shouldn't it??

With Watmough's retirement won't that still come under the cap unless he is paid out by Insurance?
That is how I understood it.
Apparently Ryan MATTERSON who debuted the other week for the Roosters was a Parra reserve grader on a second tier contract and by the Roosters debuting him it activated 70k of Parra's second tier salary cap

They're that tight a group they'll all take a pay cut to get them back under the cap and in the off season they will head to Sammy the Aussies village in Fiji to do all the work that Sammy's pay cut would have covered!.

Watmough would need to show his retirement is due to a fresh career-ending injury. That may not be easy because Watmough had a chronic knee issue when he came to the club. The Eels are therefore attempting to prove Watmough’s current knee issue is a new injury sustained via a knock during the pre-season. Greenberg confirmed the Eels had not yet lodged forms for Watmough’s medical retirement. However, Greenberg also said that solving the salary cap issue may not be as easy as just farewelling Watmough. “The salary cap is complicated,” Greenberg said. “It’s not as simple as just moving on one player”.

Tony Archer admits refs call to award Panthers winning field goal was wrong. Even the in-field ref thought the defenders formed a 'wall' yet the decision was overturned. It was a no brained that one.
Some really poor efforts from the Bunker in that game. When it starts costing teams games or opportunities to win games it really needs to be sorted.
Cold comfort when the game is lost and points gone.

So if our players decide to take less then market value and stay at the eels the NRL surely won't have a leg to stand on with the Lachlan coote's and James Roberts of the world taking less then market value.

I dont think they could if they already had a contract in place but if they were re signing to a new contract it couldnt be an issue.
That article i posted says something along the lines of the nrl wouldnt let them all just take paycuts this season
As I understand it; If Watmough does get his retirement insurance (which personally because of his injury history I don't think they have a leg to stand on 
) he should already have been paid more than half of this years contract. Based on the rumoured $750k he is on that only clears $312k from the cap the Eels then need to add someone onto the roster (to take it back to the mandatory 25 players) at a minimum which I think is $80k so Watmough retiring only takes them down by $232 out of $575k that means more need to go before the Eels can start playing for points.
Not that it matters because the 5 Directors will hang on for grim death ensuring the Eels cant play for points anyway.
