FORMER first grade footballer John Elias and player agent Sam Ayoub were today arrested as the NRL betting scandal deepened.

The arrests came as police laid a further three charges against Bulldogs player Ryan Tandy when he appeared in court today.

Elias, 48, of Punchbowl was arrested at 9.45am by police attached to a special taskforce set up to investigate the alleged betting scam.

Sam Ayoub, 49, Tandy's manager, was also arrested when he presented himself at Campise police station.

Ayoub's business offices in Leichhardt were also raided. Both men are expected to be charged later today and appear in court.

They are now reporting that Tandy is under suspicion for another game. Hmmm

from the smh link earlier

Then at a second hearing, on February 2, police say he gave false or misleading evidence about:

- Having a conversation discussing his position on the field at kick-off during a Bulldogs v Cowboys game in August last year.

- His betting activity and access to his TAB account.

- Having placed a bet on the Bulldogs v Titans game on June 18 last year.
