The findings of an audit into the Melbourne Storm NRL salary cap rort have come as a relief to assistant coach Stephen Kearney.
Club owners News Limited have announced the Storm breached the cap by $3.87 million, more than 80 per cent higher than initially thought.
Kearney says the club now knows what it needs to do.
"As difficult as it (the audit finding) was, we know what we're dealing with now and have got to get the issue resolved."
Kearney says the circumstances have been very difficult and it has been tough dealing with a range of emotions from the players. He says the club has got to put a harrowing last few months behind them and move on.
The Storm are believed to be needing to shed just under $1.6 million of playing talent payments to be under the cap next season.
