After researching: The Storm were stripped of 2 premierships, 3 minor premierships AND their points for the season.
From theaustralian.com:
"The NRL stripped Melbourne of its premierships (2007, 2009), minor premierships (2006,2007,2008), ordered it repay $1.1 million in prizemoney, fined it $500,000, stripped it of its 2010 competition points and announced it would earn no more points for the rest of the 2010 season."
In comparison, LaF had 2 players' finishes removed, and caught a beating that set. Compared to a sporting team, they got off damned light.
The prize money that the Storm were ordered to repay was evenly distributed between the other NRL clubs.
ALso: Chaz - you say that RD hit ONLY MD, not the other alliances. Whilst this is true, this affects ALL other alliances involved. a) 25% of our countries got put out of direct contention as a result, and b) it increases the load and damage on the remaining countries of our alliance. It also indirectly affected RD's own pacted ally.
