Gambling/match fixing and the NRL.

[Mark from Brisbane]

True, we all know how much we're loved up here.

And let's not forget the coverups, Lockyer in the toilet, etc etc, never a mention in the Bronco Mail, or the QLD based journo's of all descriptions.

To be honest I find it sickening really, they just get soooooo many leg ups.

So very, very pleased they failed again in 2016.

Are they suspicious about our wins?

In today's Brisbane paper states that the task force are going to be closely looking at 48 Manly games over the past 2 years. No other teams mentioned. Interesting times.

Well sucked in to them. I think it's funny that someone else will have to sit through some of the shyte that we've been forced to watch these last two seasons!

From what I'm told bookies take under the table bets which are not registered or recorded so that don't have to pay tax. Players and people LIKE fast Eddy - not specifically E.Hayson- and people associated with clubs place the bets and there is no paper trail. It is usually spot betting more than match outcomes and is very wide spread. Coke use and hookers and dodgy betting accounts are more common than uncommon.
Cops are having trouble because their is little or no paper trail.

Which big name player has had to go to his club - cap in hand - to pay off his massive gambling debts?

The club handed the player the cash because he wins football games - but told him he was on his last warning.

Isn't there some sort of curse on Parra halfbacks?

Sterlo lost his hair, then I think the curse got messed up somehow, now they keep their bouffants and lose their minds...

Probably a hyphenated name like Kenny-Dowell
