Betting Story / Scandal

RE: betting scandal

It was apparently a $5 multi bet across different codes, but did not involve any Manly games. If a player is found to be betting on or against his own team, throw the book at him. Hopefully for Wolf, he is not the player getting the 6 week suspension.

RE: betting scandal

Wow that's massive news.

So when are they going to announce the sex tape suspension?

RE: betting scandal

I don't see any problem with a player putting a straight win bet on his own team. If it was a margin bet that could be dodgy but a win bet who cares? The ARLC have only themselves to blame, they are happy to take betting agencies sponsorship money & promote sports gambling. This influence, rubs off on young men with high disposable incomes.

So.....it's definitely him then?

RE: betting scandal

It appears likely to be held back until just after SOO. If it was ASADA it would be just before ... and Richard Ings would make a comment.

Gambling is the devil. I love gambling maybe loss $100 a year but in reality it costs me $1,000's due to others that have a problem. wow combined 2 hobby horses in one post.

RE: Betting Story

I wonder how much he had on the roosters in the grand final last year

Lol bones. Wolfie had a bad game but I think it was Steggles Hayne who had a massive bet on the rorters.

And that is why a $5 bet by a players cannot happen. I know it was said in jest but it can be taken seriously.

I still am a fan of Wolfman and I hope he is still ok when this is over.

That would be good (thanks mate).

But any Manly player ain't a good look.

Think I'd actually prefer it to be the Wolfman.

RE: betting scandal

Hmmmm it also includes a Bunnies player too.

Let's not over-react here. I see no reason why we should suspend sex tapes.

So if it isn't him, and they got the info from phone records - who had their phone seized this year? It's all rumour and innuendo presently.

I hope this isn't the reason DCE keeps changing his name...

RE: betting scandal

No doubt all these players have well paid managers. Shouldn't these managers face some sort of sanction, de-listing etc, for failing in their "duty of care"?
It seems to be that being a player-manager has only an upside, and no downside.

This Is Why!!

As a Seaeagles supporter its always US against THEM...
If Wolf or any Manly player is involved in this massive $5 bet, its not the smartest thing to do & could have been easily avoided.
But, apparently there are more players involved & if it ends up high profile players from other clubs, annoying as all f**k....
Follows previous double standards involving Manly players used as an example in SOO suspensions, NRL suspensions due to not guilty off field supposed indiscretions, Manly players jumping a sinking ship that the same journo's jump on by seasons end & even the ASADA campaign had Manly at the top of the hit list till proven innocent....other proven guilty situations from rival NRL clubs players are usually swept under the carpet, unless its a serial offender like Carney.

His papers are definitely marked now. Enjoy England Wolfie.

RE: This Is Why!!

It's comical. What more can you say? From day dot about this 'scandal' Manly have been named. Even the Asada 'scandal', early on we were as implicated as the Sharks.

It's funny how people talk about the siege or 'them v us' mentality that we as Sea Eagles fans have, but the media and NRL feed this persecution complex.

It also includes a bunnies player too, as well.

 

[NYEagle]

This is such rubbish.

and now a Manly player has been named they start talking lengthy suspensions?. I bet (pardon the pun) that is a few Souths players were named they would be forgiven.
Oh, and notice how they have named him but are not rushing to announce penalties. We know why, the NRL are waiting until just before the semi finals to out him - just in case he is needed.

So pathetic, glad this is only one thread.

12 Players under investigation, Storm Player in Reserve Grade is the one who is possibly out for 6 weeks, yet Wolfie is the only one named and leads every Sydney News show
Helicopter hover shots over him training :dodgy:

Gambling David - Wolfman named in Betting Scandal -are the headlines

The other 11 are still not villified :dodgy:

Poor Wolfie is now the face of Match Fixing in the eyes of the Public and some Manly Supporters who insinuate that he threw a Premiership :huh:

Buzz is front and center on the News gloating about his expose
