More match-fixing claims set to rock NRL

[Little Grubber Kick]

Mostly social media. Like I said, rumours.

I'll wait until I've heard all the rumours before I prejudge anything...

If they can't legally name names, then why come out with these issues at all?! Until they can, just don't want to hear about it.

Because if no one reports it, then the clubs and NRL happily pretend it's not happening.
I really don't want to follow a game where match fixing occurs. What would be the point?

 

[manlywarringah]

Well the hints show who it is. A big score by the opposition? That would be around the 30 mark as far as I'm concerned. A gambling problem and an associate? The club dealing with the player? Mmmmmm, no brainer really!

Lol like the pink stink don't decide the outcome of most matches.

Ha, exactly, it's only the 'unofficial' match fixing that gets reporting.....

Well, it makes the officially sanctioned match-fixing harder to achieve if the players are trying to fix the match the other way! No wonder they're pissed about it!

On the bright side, now that we are bottom dwellers, the 'fixers' will be gifting us games

 

[manlywarringah]

I'd be shocked it they could end up laying charges. Unless they have the player on tape putting the bet on, how could they prove anything?

Like someone said before, there's rumours all the time regarding salary cap breaches and betting but no one can usually prove anything.

It was only because the eels are so hopeless that the NRL was able to catch them.

Been happening for decades. Just ask Wests back in 1963. 11 straight premierships my arse. Just like 2013 and Sham Hayne. Forget a few players trying to rig a result what about the bald headed cnt who runs the game fixing matches.

Aah, but it's one thing to have the refs working against you, but another thing entirely to have someone from within your own team trying to get you beaten.

Kate McClymont I have respect for. She actually quotes sources and writes on the back of solid qualified information.

I love the BHC acronym 😛

ZTC + BHC = SFA

If match fixing is as rife as I'm starting to think it is, I have my doubts as to whether the game can survive it.

 

[mave]

Imo match fixing by players is not rife.

Official corruption/ manipulation , on the other hand....

FIFA, Cricket, Tennis, Horse Racing, Baseball ...
History of match fixing, yet the games thrive.

Human nature is a curious thing 🙄
