So how clean is the game?

[Perth Red]

Seems the nsw police investigation is a bit of a mixed bag. The very big positive is they found no evidence of match fixing. Incredibly important as fans and sponsors need to know that they are supporting a fair game, not a rigged one.

On the not so good side they did seemingly find other dirt that is going on.

Greenberg yet to comment on the dirt uncovered


The Strike Force Nuralda investigation found crime figures supplied players with prostitutes and cocaine and encouraged them to gamble to get 'inside' information for betting on NRL games, but failed to uncover any evidence of match fixing relating to three matches in 2015 and one in 2016.

In a statement released by the NRL this morning, Greenberg chose not to acknowledge NSW Police's findings around prostitutes and gambling.

The fact this came out in the same week as the Richmond "revenge porn" investigation was swept under the carpet was not lost on me.

Seems they make noise to make people nervous and make a wrong move

But a lot of people are getting used to this when they have insuffient evidence

Otherwise they would just book them

So clean that the OP wants a team in it.

You'd think RL had some big event kicking off tonight.

[mozza91]

About as clean as I am of a weekend.

 

[Fangs]

Not even clean, filthy even.

Lol all sport with gambling attached has players involved with the underworld ( do a bit of research on AFl & the same problems exist)
Most sportsmen are not real bright .
They see nothing wrong with having Crim friends .

Brett Stewart has won two defamation cases now.
Matai, one.

Greenburg needs to pace the hall up and down all night...the hardest thing he'll ever do will be telling the sensationalism media to FO.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Fit young men with money and time on their hands involved with gambling and prostitutes?

I don't believe it. Surely they all live like monks.

No match fixing - Good thing
The rest - Slow news day

I thought it is as the police’s job to have like, you know, evidence and stuff in order to start throwing about slanderous claims about an entire playing group.

The RLPA should sue the police for defamation. Clearly if there was any actual proof of wrongdoing there would be charges laid

3rd or 4th time they've done this in the last few years
Darkest Day in Sport
Manly match fixing allegations

Government has joined in with journos using the sport of Rugby League for a free ride

Pretty sure every branch of the law has an addendum attached relating to Rugby League players.

Innocent until proven guilty - unless your a Rugby League player

The game is as pure as the driven blow.... I mean snow.....
