We do have a media manager ( Hi Wayne) who reads this forum incessantly, but I'm led to believe the real media manager doesn't do technology.
Sadly, true or not, I think our name has been sullied big time.
As @susan and I have discussed it will greatly affect our ability to recruit any decent player ( at all), and you'd have to suggest that sponsors would be getting more than a tad nervous.
To be honest I don't have any love for the media manager ( not you Wayne) but I'd agree with his stance, this situation is " death by a thousand cuts" and it just can't go on indefinitely without any action other than a media circus.

Tell me if I'm wrong (im sure you will) but I still feel that Zorbas comments were having a dig a Toovey as well.
Have I just taken this wrong or is his slagging off at the previous employees, that they were worried about, includes Tooves not just A Johns????

If the tele is correct and players are on the punt with shady types and perhaps getting "rewards", then perhaps some other people who go on the punt with the players may be caught up in this. There is no crime there on the face of things, but it's a bit murky.

Funny thing is the club is going to need all of zorbas mates on the media to blame shift and down play the heck out of this.
Exactly my issue
They aren"t getting "rewarded" for tipping the last winner at the Redcliffe trots. If the allegations are true,which I fervently hope they are not, they are getting rewarded for match fixing, which most certainly is a crime;as a lot of Pakistani fast bowlers will attest to.

Don't they go on the punt together at the parkway hotel?

It's a business not just a game now
I would imagine that the reaction from Manly is exactly what the police want. The more Manly is rattling cages, poking around the bushes (select your cliche), the more chance that someone will slip up.
Manly's problem is that they are collateral damage in the fight against organised crime.
That simple. That damaging. And precisely why they should never have allowed such figures into dressing rooms.

This is EXACTLY THE POINT. I don't believe we have thrown matches but wow haven't we given the haters a free kick due to player stupidity and lack of strength from officials. Charges or not this is doing untold damage to our reputation and prospects in the player market because non Manly people WANT TO BELIEVE THIS.
What would you be thinking if you were a sponsor or someone considering a TPA? Would a business risk sponsoring someone who might just possibly have thrown or might throw a game.Even if the chances are negligible a business cant take that risk.The idea that only a black and white court decision will f...ck us is crazy.

Yep Jen. We don't, but everyone in league land and the general populace outside of Manly wants to believe it and therein lies the rub....and the damage.

When the owners said it's a result based business who new they were talking about gambling results.
