Four clubs
fined over salary cap

Four clubs have been fined by the NRL for minor salary cap infringements with St George Illawarra the most heavily penalised.

The Dragons have copped a $19,976 fine with Newcastle penalised $11,097, the Bulldogs $8,611 and Canberra $1,339. It follows today's NRL board meeting where all salary cap audits from 2005 were reviewed.

The New Zealand Warriors were fined $430,000 and docked four premiership points in February following a special pre-season investigation into major breaches at the club in recent seasons.
