Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

The alternative to legal sports betting is illegal sports betting.

Classic case of taking the lesser of two evils.

Well it’s not like rugby league can go back to being amateur

how do we pay the players and who funds the juniors

and it won’t happen afl will sweep it under the carpet like they always do

but if it does blow up for afl even better I’ll get the popcorn

It will be swept under the rug, so we should just ignore it.

I mean it’s not like rugby league has had this problem ever before

That will do me, if you think a match official can't spot fix in games of sport.

How can they?
Remembering every try now the bunker over rules if it is incorrectly called and Captains challenge on field.

As I said you'd need captains and bunker in on it too

I'm not sure you know what spot fixing is...hint, it's different to match fixing.

Spot fixing will involve a deliberate missed tackle, knock on or penalty in front of the sticks.

What are the bunker and challenge going to do?

It happened between the Dogs and NQ a while back.

I get what it is hence why I said Captain's challenge help against it.

Hard for the ref to say bet on a knock on in the 20th minute, The captain would just challenge it and win if the call is a dud

That was a player though not a ref

It would be extraordinarily easy for a ref to ensure the first scoring play of the match was a penalty goal.

Aside from High Tackles it is 6 again in that situation.

You then need to hope the defending team doesn't challenge it or the attacking team does take the 2

Penalty, offside from the kick-off.
March them another 10 for dissent.

Every side is taking a penalty shot 40m out right in front at the beginning of the game, especially a side like Penrith or the Roosters in a big game.

Again though, If they aren't off side? Compared to leaking results of a poll voted on by referees.

I know what one I'd bet my life on

Back to pistol pete, I wonder how his resolution meeting with the RLPA CEO is going in England?

 

[Storm80]

1 person can't fix a match though

Ryan Tandy is the last one I can think of that attempted to fix a match, or at least manipulate the first score of a match.

Pretty easy for any individual to throw a game if they wanted too.

All codes are susceptible to refs going rogue

 

[Colk]

I didn’t think my post was that controversial but a trial has no meaning. If you introduce betting for a match that has no meaning then it is easier to spot fix and for people to get away with it. It’s not like people care about the result of a trial.

I am not suggesting I am against it per se I am just throwing up a suggestion as to why it is problematic.

Didn't work though, NQ went for the try so again to my point you need more than 1 person involved.

Atleast one for each side, If a Ref was to be on the take he/she needs the bunker to be on the take too. That way if it is challenged the on field decision stays even if it is wrong

Yeh that’s tigers play did it a few years ago

the one that something bad with the jersies and he got rubbed out of the game

Sadly the genie is out of the bottle (before it went behind closed doors betting licensing brought in $85mill for the NRL in 2019) and putting a shonky horse racing bloke in charge of the game certainly isnt going to see any sort of reverse.

 

[LeagueXIII]

And our broadcasting partners News Corp have gone down this path with Betr. They have also started in the USA hence the NRL's interest in expanding in the US.

We can see how eveything is aligning now with News Corp clearing out the old management who were taking the game in a different direction.
