Stay tuned to NRLnews.com for breaking news on this topic. Early reports suggest it may involve cash payments to star pivot Darren Lockyer.

Interestingly the NRL has also indicated that penalties my be incurred for last season, it is unsure if the NRL could or would strip the Broncos of their prize from last year.

The Parramatta Eels today re-signed Nathan Cayless and Nathan Hindmarsh until the end of the 2010 season. The Eels forwards can now concentrate on the 2007 season with their futures assured. Nathan’s brother Ian Hindmarsh was today cleared to play in the opening NRL round after contract disputes with his former Super League club Les Catalans were resolved.
The Penrith Panthers will also miss the services of Frank Pritchard who will be rested for the first game of the 2007 NRL Season due to the hand injuries he sustained recently in a violent brawl with Liverpool locals. Panthers coach Matt Elliott said the decision to rest Pritchard was an easy one, given the fact that it would be silly to risk the boom forward so early in the season. Pritchard has been back in training, however his participation in ball drills was restricted due to the tender damaged sustained in the brawl. Penrith officials said while his hand has healed, the internal tender will take slightly longer to build strength.
