They really need to come down hard on him, this really has to act as a deterrent to future wankers who try to harm the integrity of the NRL.

NRL statement on Tandy verdict

NRL Thu, Oct 06, 2011 - 1:06 PM

The NRL has reaffirmed that it will impose life bans on any persons convicted of ‘match fixing’.

In relation to today’s court decision against player Ryan Tandy, the NRL notes there are a number of other legal matters still to be heard in connection with this investigation.

Given the time of the season and the imminent nature of those hearings, the NRL will reserve imposing any penalties on any person found guilty of fixing any part of a match until such time as those matters are resolved.

In the meantime, Ryan Tandy is not a registered player with the NRL and no registration would be entertained at this point or until all matters are resolved.

“Clearly there remain some complex legal arguments to be heard and the rights of individuals through that process must be respected,” NRL Chief Executive, Mr David Gallop, said today.

“The outcome for anyone found guilty of interfering with a match for any improper purpose could not be more apparent.

“From the outset, the NRL has involved independent investigators and sought the assistance of the NSW Police in dealing with betting irregularities around the first scoring option in this match and we remain convinced that was and remains best course of action.

“We welcome the assistance of the authorities in treating these matters seriously and look forward to the conclusion of all proceedings.

“We also welcome Federal and State Governments’ recognition of the importance of giving sports the legislative support and regulatory assistance in dealing with sports betting issues.

“We look forward to seeing these policies finalised across all states.”

Come on guys you shouldn't kick a guy when he's down.



You should roll around on top of him till the ref blows a penalty.

Harming the integrity of the NRL is not a crime. His career is gone, he's got a conviction for criminal deception against him, his name has been shamed throughout the country, and he's out of pocket to boot. He didn't kill anyone, no one was harmed, it's enough.

Agreed. Though I must add conviction or not he was 30 year old fringe first grader nobody would have wanted anyway. He's not the master culprit in this there's others behind it. I think the punishment is warranted and anything more would be unfair.

Sorry should have made it clearer I was talking about the NRL coming down hard on him; you would think he would get a life ban.
