The Sydney Roosters have been fined by the NRL over salary cap breaches.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Melbourne Storm have been sanctioned over two separate failures to follow correct team selection protocols.<\/p>\n
The NRL salary cap auditor found the Roosters were $38,365 over the Supplementary List and Training Wage Salary Cap back in 2024.<\/p>\n
The club has been fined $36,070, reflecting the amount they were over, thought the fines acknowledge the breach is at the lower end of the scale.<\/p>\n
The Storm have been fined $25,000, half of which is suspended for two years, for \u201cnot following proper process around team selections\u201d on two occasions in 2025.<\/p>\n
The fines relate to a player who was selected while on a training contract.<\/p>\n
Storm\u2019 forward Shawn Blore was also issued a breach notice \u201calleging a breach of the NRL Code of Conduct following an NRL Integrity Unit investigation after the finalisation of court proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blore pleaded guilty to common assault back in July 2024 after an incident in a restaurant, and received a six-month good behaviour bond, with no conviction.<\/p>\n
Given the holiday period, Blore, the Storm and the Roosters will have an extended period to respond to the breach notices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Sydney Roosters have been fined by the NRL over salary cap breaches.
