[Resurrected] Is the NRL competition rigged?
“Massaging” a game and its outcome to meet expectations of large illegal betting syndicates or organised crime gangs is more than likely. There are many (many) cases proven and people convicted in multiple sports around the world – all very well documented Search Hansie Cronje as one of the...- vidmar

[Resurrected] Is the NRL competition rigged?
Almost 12 months to the date that I posted this so, imagine my interest when I heard the "allegations" being made by police regarding a high profile NRL player. That on the back of a story a couple of days ago - seach "Romania Football draw rigged".- vidmar

Souths Game - Manly Experience for my Son
Hi, I'd suggest staying in or close to Manly itself if you can (airbnb and and plenty of other options should be available) as it's easy to get to Brooky with public transport or taxi/Uber on game day? Not a great deal stuff locally in Brooky for a teenager but there's plenty to do in Manly and...- vidmar

Wayne Cousins ( Media Manager)
I was saddened to hear that Cuzzo will be leaving the club. He joined us from a similar role at Wests Tigers and mates I have who knew him there rated him very highly and were sorry to see him leave. I had a fair bit to do with him in his early days and I always found him keen, confident and...- vidmar

2024 GRAND FINAL
For years I've wondered if there was a word or term that describes when you're hoping both teams lose in a 2 team game. The closest I've come so far is courtesy of AI and, I quote: "There isn't a widely recognized single word for wanting both teams to lose in a sporting match, but a common...- vidmar

[Resurrected] Is the NRL competition rigged?
HI and thanks for the input. I'm not sure if you got the point that I was making in that people who are active in the game(s) - with inside info - are owners of a business that takes wagers on the game. I'd suggest that is a conflict of interest? Or at the very least, allows them to be...- vidmar

That's entertainment Folks!
In 2009 the Roosters were wooden spooners. Last… the worst club in the comp – of the 24 games they played they lost 19 of them… their points differential was -299 (the next worst was the Sharks with -209) Not exactly an attractive proposition for a sponsor you’d think, but no…. The 2010...- vidmar
