The Parramatta Eels board is set to be sacked by the NSW government.
NSW deputy premier Troy Grant said he would remove the board and appoint an administrator after the NRL club’s plans to appeal some of the penalties for salary cap breaches.
NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg welcomed Grant’s decision, saying via social media: “We strongly support any government move to make the Parramatta Eels strong. Players and fans deserve it!”
