The man accused of being the architect of the Melbourne Storm salary cap rorts says he's willing to reveal all he knows about the scandal to a public inquiry.

While reports claim Brian Waldron has asked for more than $100,000 to a media outlet to tell his side of the story, the former Storm chief executive has called for a properly constituted and transparent inquiry.

The Storm last week admitted to breaching the salary cap by $1.7 million over the last five seasons with the NRL stripping the club of two of its remierships, ordering it to return $1.1 million prize money and pay half a million in fines.

In a statement released to various news outlets, Waldron says he's prepared to air his side of the story.

Meanwhile, players union boss David Garnsey will meet NRL chief executive

David Gallop today as he seeks a better understanding of the Melbourne salary cap scandal.

Garnsey says he has no reason to suspect the Storm's players knew their payments were rorting the cap and they should not be asked to make highly personal records available.

He is expected to hold talks with the Storm's stars later this week.
