NSW Organised Crime Squad Investigating alleged NRL Match-Fixing

[THE CHAMP]

Has to be bad. Channel 9 running code in crisis headlines.

Meanwhile, when did Peter Overton get the facelift?

If he gets any more his balls will be on his forehead........
Oh hang on..........

 

[El Diablo]

he has balls?

 

[T-Boon]

NSW Police are going to school the NRL on how to do an investigation with integrity.

Greenberg: "oh, you DON'T leak updates every morning to New Ltd - I thought it said you DO"

 

[Card Shark]

They'll be conducting interviews at the grand final breakfast. It is strange timing considering they've clearly done buggerall for the last 3 months, you'd think another month of inaction wouldn't make any difference.

No coincidence.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

It is interesting, the timing and the language about it from the media outlets.

Take the SMH vids here:





I chuckled at the AFL - FootyFix though. LOL. Freudian slip?

But really. I know it's tin foil hat territory but it really is double standards for the two codes.

Like their investigation into the Lindt cafe shooting?

 

[BuffaloRules]

Wow.. Just read Andrew Webster...

What a beat up....

We don't even know what the crime is yet, let alone the alleged perpetrators

Stay chillax people..

 

[Arnold]

Anyone got any footage of these games?

 

[Canard]

If even half of what is written in the Age website about Foran is true, than I suspect he won't be playing Rugby League again in his life.

If true (and its all alleged) there has to be some underlying reason for him to act this way for what are relatively poultry amounts of money compared to what his career earnings could be? Something like a gambling addiction?

 

[T-Boon]

It is interesting that he has a lawyer (godfather) now and no agent...
I like that players called to appear are forbidden to talk even to their agents and clubs - in other words once agents and clubs know then News Ltd knows.

 

[betcats]

The NRL would be crazy to let Foran back into the game unless completely cleared of all this.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I watched the replay of the 1994 Tooheys Challenge Cup last night.

On it, Ray Warren says their friends from the NT, Centrebet, had firmed Souths from 50-1 to 12-1 to make the top 5.

Also relayed, jokingly, because of that, if Souths did make the Top 5, Centrebet would have to close their doors.

Geez I chuckled heartily.

 

[Game_Breaker]

So it seems it was Steve Matai's phone that was seized

Here he is just after police seized his phone

 

[drago brelli]

the more you put on the more you get back.

 

[TheDalek079]

innocent until proven guilty

There's not much in the article, I still don't get why someone on a $5million contract is going to throw a game for $30,000 or whatever.

 

[myrrh ken]

Anyone got any footage of these games?

I take it includes the ones discussed on Page 11 of this fred. Vid is still up. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/...-over-nrl-betting-plunge-20160805-gqlwkx.html

As I said before, while I agree that a certain player looks very dodgy it would be hard to say he was responsible for all 3 tries.

Looks like the story was broken by good ol gossiper Weed-ler. Lawyer up buddy

Unless he has deleted tweets, it looks like Weedling didn't make any claim about Matai's phone being seized, and only talked about it being untrue.
