In explosive testimony before NRL salary cap investigators, Jason Irvine and Scott Seward have admitted to what amounts to theft and fraud in an attempt to honour under‑the‑table deals for cash payments to Parramatta rugby league payers.
Seward, the former chief executive officer of the Eels, and Irvine, the former football manager, have admitted to the NRL that players were paid in cash, which was removed from the takings of club's merchandise sales.
The NRL confirmed the Parramatta Eels will have 12 competition points deducted and be fined $1 million.
Meanwhile the Eels face the Panthers at 6pm this Sunday.
In other matches, the Dragons will face the Titans at 9.50pm Friday while the Sea Eagles will face the Warriors at 7.30pm Saturday.
