Suity it's pretty obvious that Murray has received "advice". I would think that he would not have changed his tune without it. So my guess is that there are precedents which suggest that he'll be sweet if he made the statement whilst under duress. Hence why he used his employer and job security as an excuse.

So, in your opinion, do you think the club has a case against him if they believe he wasn't put under duress?

No because his career was on the line. You don't need the club to actually tell you that you need to get this crap behind you or you'll end up in the shit heap. He was the NYC gun with all the TA's. He had the world at his feet. Most people would do anything they could to "fix" the problem. If he fixes it quickly he could have the potential of earning millions over the next 10 years.

it would be a he said i said case with a lot of grey area im not sure either party could conclusively prove the other was lying

But isn't that a decision for Murray to make, if no one actually told him to lie?

It's a bit weak to call it duress just because he felt stressed about the situation.

I know that whenever I'm chilling on the porch with my crew and the cops roll up and shake us down I always feel stressed. It doesn't mean that I'm under duress when I dob in my homies to save my own filthy skin.

Wow.

That'll teach him to withdraw his evidence.
f**k I hope all these bastards go down.

Suity - I agree with you 100% mate hope. It's funny that in his Photo on the West's Page he's in Parra gear. Hope gets hammered over it. Hate the Rosella's (the same team who tried to have Tandy till that got stopped by the CRL).

Hey Suity you going to the Oak before the game next week?

i bet he's got plenty of evidence now if they will cut him a deal ;-)

p.s. like you i hope everyone who touched a cent of those bets goes down and goes down hard: jail time, life bans you name it we need to hammer them so hard nobody is game to even think about rigging a game in the future :twisted:
this is a bigger threat to the game than the storm salary cap scandal and deserves a bigger punishment

What's he been charged with though? He could have just been charged with giving a false statement, which he admitted to doing in court. The cops would rightfully be extremely p**sed off with him over that. It would have cost them a lot of time and damaged their case.
