To be honest, after the initial story and Stormgate I'd forgotten all about it until I read this.
Well it's no shock that agents are involved, it's more of a shock that something might actually be done about it.

After looking at the various 'client lists' I won't be holding my breath waiting for said agents to be removedTo be honest, after the initial story and Stormgate I'd forgotten all about it until I read this.

The two 'financial officers' at Storm are not only still there but now form the core of the board,so why would we have a witch hunt for more bit players.
No names though else I might be threatened with 'legal action' as well

In decision making there should be consistency.
Given the rugged approach to the club and its management I can't see why the game should hold back from disciplining these apparent wrongdoers.
I can see why the NRL might pussyfoot around them, but they shouldn't!
The approach should be fair and just as appears to be the case with Storm. There should be no change from that approach with these people - no creeping expediency here!

Consistency - NRL - News Ltd - Gallop
As for being fair with Storm ?
As I pointed out earlier the two 'News Ltd' financial overseers are still there.
