Manly had Centerbet in 2011

I fear you may be right, and in the meantime it will hang over our heads like a pall.
Unfortunately I am right.... Let's hope the boys can put it behind them and play some good football
That ad shown during games at the time had players leaving the tunnel , reaching up to touch the centrebet sign on the way out to play. Probably not the way to go.
Then again before casinos and betting agencies, most teams were funded by poker machine revenue. A bit like corruption in NSW going back to the rum rebellion. Some things are entrenched.

Manly set to appoint Ray Murrihy aka Rex Banner from The Simpsons in consultancy role.....
From SMH:
Manly are poised to appoint former NSW chief racing steward Ray Murrihy as a consultant after the club was embroiled in match fixing allegations.
The Sea Eagles have been in negotiations with Murrihy, who has retired from racing after overseeing integrity issues on NSW tracks for the past 21 years, about a role at the club. Murrihy will be tasked with ensuring there is an appropriate code of conduct and that proper protocols exist to ensure players and officials aren't compromised by their associations with those outside the Sea Eagles.

Several club powerbrokers, including Panthers Group boss Brian Fletcher, had implored the NRL to find a role for Murrihy. However, it appears the Sea Eagles have got in first.
Murrihy is not stranger to the NRL, having been previously engaged to assist the governing body's probe into betting irregularities during the infamous Cowboys-Bulldogs match in 2010 that resulted in Canterbury forward Ryan Tandy being convicted of match fixing. Murrihy, who retired on Friday after 46 years as a steward, was also a consultant during the Storm salary cap scandal.
Former Manly coach Geoff Toovey has conceded the possibility more than just poor execution could have been to blame for the club's round 24 loss to Parramatta in the 2015 NRL season.
The game is one of two Sea Eagles games believed to be under the examination of the NSW police's organised crime squad for alleged match-fixing, along with their round 16 NRL loss to South Sydney.
And while the team's then-coach said he would be surprised if the games were fixed, he admitted there could have been something off in the team's performance against the Eels.
"With the Parramatta game, you would think they were on non-performance drugs," he told NRL360. "Both sides - it was a terrible game of football.
"Could we be that bad? I don't think so. Maybe we could be, but possibly there was some underlying issue there. But I would find that incredibly hard to believe that players would sink that low."
Manly lost the match by four points, all but ending any hopes Toovey's team had of making a late-season charge for the finals, in a year where the Manly club legend had the final year of his contract terminated.
In wet conditions, Manly completed just 21 of 40 sets and Toovey described their performance as "diabolical" post match. The defeat was just the Sea Eagles' second in seven games at that point, and came in different circumstances to the South Sydney clash, which they entered as outsiders.
Toovey said he had no such concerns about the 20-8 loss to the Rabbitohs. "There's no way you would pick the Souths game, I can't remember it to be honest," he said.
The former Manly premiership winner also conceded there was no way to rid the sport of of match-fixing claims.
"You can't stop two or three people getting together and getting around the system," he said. "You can't do it. It's very hard, when there's gambling involved in sport to stop it completely."
The Sea Eagles maintain they are yet to be contacted by NSW Police in regards to the probe.

It's a cosmetic effort to allay the fears of the rest of the sponsors walking
The man has zero authority to carry out an investigation, let alone look into players' accounts.
He should be hired by the NRL Integrity Unit to set up a code wide procedure to manage the gambling problem

It's the only smart move these dumbarses have made.
Bring him into Manly before the NRL hire him to investigate us!
I hold Ray Murrihy in high regard. He'll be missed from racing.

Ex-Manly coach Geoff Toovey doesn’t believe his players would have thrown a game, but concedes there was an “underlying issue” when the Sea Eagles went down to Parramatta last year.
The round 24 loss, and a defeat to the Rabbitohs in round 16, are being investigated after allegations of match-fixing were raised this year.
Manly were heavy favourites leading into the Parramatta clash, but went down 20-16.
“With the Parramatta game, you would think they were on non-performance enhancing drugs – both sides, it was a terrible game of football,” Toovey said on NRL 360 on Thursday.
“Could we be that bad? I don’t think so. Maybe we could be, but possibly there was some underlying issue there.
“But I would find that incredibly hard to believe that players would sink that low.
“There’s no way you could pick the Souths game, I can’t remember it to be honest.”
The loss to the Eels virtually ended Manly’s slim hopes of playing finals footy after enjoying a midseason surge.
The investigation into the allegedly dodgy matches continues.

No BS about Tooves one of the many reasons he is so respected. It would be hard to disagree with what he said the teams performance in that match against Parra was terrible.
Classic Tooves. The sooner this man is back at Manly in some capacity, the better.
Agree but he's talking about the quality of play from both sides though. Of course the telegraph headline set's it up as though it's directed solely at Manly.
