A Mercedes Benz G-class is sitting idle outside Hamer Hall tonight, as it stands by for a discreet drop-off.
Whilst the NRL Grand Final party begins to kick off some 900kms north in Sydney, it’s alleged* some quiet operations are happening down in Victoria, as the Melbourne Storm begin to cover up any possibility of salary cap contamination.
As the chief accountant for the Melbourne Storm, Periscope (Perry) Coyne-Slott (35) holds the keys to all of the club’s financial books, and as such was bestowed the honour of making sure any evidence of salary cap trickery is completely buried.
After ordering an UberBlack from the Storm’s head office, Perry reportedly took orders to head down to the Yarra and dump the clubs salary cap records, even thought it doesn’t really matter now.
While tossing three 4TB hard drives into the murky waters of the river, Cameron has told The Advocate there’s simply nothing to see here.
“Yeah look it’s just a bit of spring cleaning, I just like heading out for an evening stroll,” Perry told our reporter, as he frisbee’d each device into the water.
“This is just to make sure there’s no asterisk next to this grand final loss, too.”
While a handful of half-pints to be finished up pubs across Melbourne, Perry says he’s grateful to commiserate the loss under the cover of darkness.
“I’m glad no one here is partying in the streets like they’d be doing in Penrith, it would’ve made this whole operation a bit harder.”
“Anyway I’ve got to head back to club and wipe a few more Excel files, but I can drop you off to the Casino with a few poker chips if you’d like. Think of them as a gift, it’s on the house!”
More to come.
