THE NRL has stripped Melbourne Storm of two premierships, as well as any competition points this season, in the heaviest punishment for a salary cap breach in NRL history.
NRL chief David Gallop has just announced the extradordinary penalty, after it was uncovered that the club paid $1.7 million to its players outside the cap in the past five years.
The Storm has been stripped of its premierships in 2007 and 2009, three minor premierships and their eight competition points this season. They will not be able to accrue any more points this season, have been fined $500,000 and must pay back $1.1m in prize money.
