Manly Match-Fixing Investigation

[Mark from Brisbane]

If memory serves me correctly the Broncos were smashed in from $1.80 into $1.40 before the eels Broncos game round 1.
The next day the eels star recruit pulled out with a sore hammy ....
I love coincidence when money is involved

The bookies know it all.

You only have to look at the odds and rarely do they lose.

They'd have every little bit ofinside knowledge when framing their markets.

I'm sure bookies do lose occasionally , but overall they are the guaranteed winners not you!!

How much of that was players looking to sideways at their teammates and not feeling the bloke next to them was putting in? If you feel like you're doing 5/8ths of the job of the player by your side, why wouldn't it take it out of your own performance?

I think the whole mood of the team that day was brought down by a chosen few.

Some weren't out for Tooves but would've found it tough to play at maximum level with the crap others were dishing up.

It was a very poor performance and it just looked like no one wanted to be out there apart from the first few mins when Tom Turbo scored his first try. After that, it went downhill very fast.

Agreed. Anyone on Twitter who follows punter accounts such as @readingtheplay etc will attest to the fact that they often will post on a Wednesday/Thursday informing their followers of key outs prior to any general knowledge about them.

Interesting today listening to Talkin Sport, Peter Tunks mentioned that a former coach of his that was a big punter was involved in fixing 2 games.

Shows how prevalent it could have been for some time.

A fish rots from the head down. Look who's in charge, don't expect clarity when they can hand you spin.

@BigOTrivia
So P.Tunks reveals today that a former coach of his who, was a massive punter, was involved in fixing 2 games.
I wonder who that could be ?


Jack Gibson was an actual SP Bookmaker - how bizarre is that 😱

Is that actually true about fish?

 

[Shoe1]

Fish can't breathe air. Does that mean we can't breathe air?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Well, we can't breathe air if our heads are rotting.
(I'm relieved we sorted this out.)

 

[HappilyManly]

Is that actually true about fish?

No - it is the guts of fish that rot and stink before the head, same for all animals

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Fish aren't animals.
(They're fish)

Amphibious fish can breathe air

Was just googling articles on match fixing trying to catch up on the news with regards to the manly issue, when i came across the following:

MEDIA WATCH: The NRL is probing sensational claims from a former Kangaroos prop that one coach scored six-figure paydays by fixing games and betting against his own team.

Tunks told Rugby League Week that a coach fixed matches in the 1980s and 1990s by betting against his own team.

Tunks, who played for South Sydney, Canterbury and Penrith across a 14-year career, believes the coach won six-figure sums on two occasions.

“This guy was a bad punter and in my opinion decided to manipulate matches in order to recoup some of his losses,” Tunks told the magazine.

Being a young-in 😉 only born in 84 I did a quick search and found to my surprise there is only one Kangaroos coach that was involved with the team over both the 80s and 90s.

I wont name names but im sure most of you will know exactly who that is.

That being accused, the said coach only lost 6 of 39 games.
