Betting Story / Scandal

Thanks HM.

I can see doyle's point, but it should have been either one way or the other.

Name them all, or keep it private, issue a fine and no suspensions.

As they didn't, he's an a grade toobag, and the new nrl's transparency is being muddied by the huge amounts of betting dollar sponsorship!

So.......the officials who can easily have a greater influence on the outcome of a match (as opposed to the players)......

are simply not going to be named?

Any media questioning on this?

Probably not.

I would like them named. Were there sideline officials or video officials who can have a bearing on a result. Come clean NRL.

I don't think the "officials" were anything to do with the refereeing i.e. Not refs, touchies or vidiots. Just some low level match day officials.

Anyone who thinks a top level player would deny a scoring opportunity because they have $5 on an all up bet doesn't understand punters. It would be more for fun and interest than any genuine hope of making money. Someone who puts something like $200 upwards on any option is a different matter. That wasn't Wolfie.

So what's the amount then when it goes from fun to a different matter entirely? $20? $50? $100.

I thought I was clear, $200 is when it matters 🙂

All those vehemently calling for player sackings - is there ever a point where you find ANY betting on a RL game acceptable? Because I doubt that you do.

With some of the absurd decisions that they make, it certainly makes you wonder though.

So Wolf was dobbed into the NRL by Zorba.

Zorba had a big week or two, running today's story to Rothfield which is complete rubbish.
