Getting serious about gambling. Sure ban the imbecile for life to punting on the game.

Then how about getting a big mirror and having a good a look into it.

The NRL is currently wall to wall gambling. Promoting it, backing it and encouraging it.

Farrrrkkkk me dead we even have an oval called Lottoland. You can just imagine a house full of Hartleys on a footy weekend. "C'mon honey, lets pile the kids into the car and head on down to Lottoland to watch the footy."

Bookies make a killing off people punting on NRL, why shouldn't NRL get a cut?

Rules are simple for players; you can't bet on NRL. That does not in anyway cross over with who the NRL or Clubs take money from.

Remember when that skinny little kent Waterhouse was the face of footy gambling and everyone kicked up a mighty stink.

Since he was forced to sell out the joint has been infected with an army of the online parasites.

Don't remind me of that insufferable little merkin.

You're right though, watching the footy I see ads for TAB, Sportsbet, Ubet, Bet365, Ladbrokes, Crownbet - I'm probably missing a couple. NRL betting is obviously a huge market for all these f**kers to operate in at once.

All football codes gets a slice of the gambling monies including union and fumble ball.
I can't handle the ads for betting ,but as it pays for us seeing the game live on FTA pr Pay.I'll live with it.
Even if I hear the monotonous "remember gamble responsibly".If you're addicted you can't gamble responsibly.Here ended the lesson.
Players know they can't bet on NRL games, it's part of their contract.They play with matches, they get flamed.
