Image via WikipediaRugby League experts have predicted the Melbourne Storm will fold in light of the uncovering of a five-year long systematic salary cap rort by the once mighty franchise. But will it happen?
Ray Hadley and Mark Geyer, speaking on Controversy Corner last night, both predicted the demise of the club in the wake of the cheating scandal.
"People said that the Storm would never do this as it would be an embarrassment to News Ltd. who are so invested in the game," Hadley said. "Despite News Ltd assurances the future of the Melbourne Storm is in grave, grave doubt."
The Daily Telegraph's Paul Kent said Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy would be lucky to see out the week still at his job.
Kent also felt the extent of the deceit was so deep it might result in jail terms for Storm administrators.
"This is fraud, every NRL club signs a statutory declaration every season.
"Former Storm CEO Brian Waldron, now with the Melbourne Rebels rugby union team could be facing fraud charges."
