Bromwich and Proctor got exactly the same as Barba did after his 1st failed test, actually worse as no-one knew about Barbas.

Barba was just dumb enough to get done a 2nd time which is an auto 12 match ban.

Young blokes are generally stupid.

Add money, time and a lot of opportunity, and a lot of them are going to prove it. Its not just an NRL problem. Every pro sport on the planet has similar problems.

I tell my daughter this all the time. Don’t expect guys to act sensibly.

Sorry, the sharks have had their year of relevance. No one cares.

players shouldn't influence the outcome of matches,....

but seriously tipping off selections and what not is just protecting the betting agencies....f**k them as far i'm concerned.

just like not being able to count cards at the casino, f**king stupid rule to protect something that's not right to start with.

Yeah the timing is a coincidence. How dumb are you?

pigs are predictable

they announce these things before Origin, Finals and things like the RLWC

they are filthy they didn't find any match fixing so leak a bullshit story to the DT because they know those cretins will lap it up and give them a headline that suits them rather than the truth

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

:joy::joy:

If you read the police media release, you would see that they did identify a number of persons of interest but didn't have enough evidence to charge.

I suggest you look up the term 'burden of proof'. You will see that in almost every facet of life, people go off the the 'balance if probability', where as in criminal matters the burden of proof is 'beyond reasonable doubt'.

Last I checked police matters are criminal matters. If they don't have a case to even press charges (lets not forget they happily charged SKD with a laundry list of crimes based on zero physical evidence) then they clearly had f**king nothing.

Instead they just go in the media every 3-6 months saying the exact same garbage of baseless claims - and no doubt get a nice new cheque cut to fund their little witch hunt for another 6 months.

How many more millions will they be allowed to waste on this investigation considering they've still yet to evidence to lay a single charge in what is now several years of investigating?

SKD was charged with posession of drugs because he posessed drugs. What are u talking about?

What I find odd is your club sacked him immediately without question and it was later proved he did little wrong other than being a scapegoat for others. Very convenient for the Roosters and f**ked a long time servant.

Anyway your loss us our gain.
