Rumours and Stuff

[Noise]

but it seems rather odd the Titans were using none of the marquee player allowance until Hayne signed

it's not like they knew he was coming so why weren't they using it?

it's not like it all has to be spent on one player either

Their marquee allowance would have been allocated to DCE for this year but he didn't come. There is no way they would have used much (any?) of it on either McQueen, Peats or Hurrell. It doesn't surprise me that they hadn't used it all up.

I would imagine that all three of McQueen, Peats and Hurrell would have part of the salary subsidised by their previous clubs.

For sure. Hence the Titan's marquee allowance would be mostly free to use

Match fixing scandal set to explode
By The Mole
August 5, 2016

NRL’s match fixing scandal is set to explode in the next 24 hours.

RLW has learned that Channel Seven and Fairfax Media are set to make sensational claims about the scandal.

The Organised Crime Squad has been investigating suspicious activity in several matches since early June.

The 2015 round 16 match between South Sydney and Manly, won by the Rabbitohs 20-8, and a round 24 clash between Manly and Parramatta, won by the Eels 20-16 are at the centre of allegations.

But a game earlier this season is also believed to be under investigation.

Stand by for developments.

I just hope it doesn't involve us. I have a feeling though that it will.

 

[Snoochies]

Yeah and Moley saying it's not a game in 1982. Who we playing tonight?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I wish the mole had told us which team to bet on tonight.

 

[Twizzle]

The game may have involves us but the allegations will be against our opposition I believe

That would be extremely bad news...

For the media.

I am still waiting for the buzz rothfield exclusive he has disappeared as quickly as harold holt did

I'm guessing Lyon was happy to be at either place. If a player on big money wants to be somewhere else a club will let him go.

So it depends if the player wants to be somewhere else? So in other words you can't just sign anyone you want?

 

[Dibs]

Don't worry we are not involved in match fixing. If we were we would have recorded it in the minutes as well as kept an audio recording of the conversation on a computer

True, the newspapers will be all over it.

 

[Twizzle]

Even if it involved Manly, we'll some how be linked

 

[Twizzle]

Be funny if it involved a certain sports reporter and a punter/brother owner

 

[The Colonel]

Channel Seven have announced that the game in question is the corresponding game to tonight's match earlier in the year where a punter has placed a bet of $18,000 on the 4.5 start for the Eels to win.

 

[emjaycee]

So because we won both games in question, can we assume our players had no part in any fix?

 

[eels_fan]

You'd think so... Unless we only win games when we are being paid extra money too haha

 

[84 Baby]

Ask Ryan Tandy, Mark Waugh and Warnie if you have to lose game to be part of fix

8 all at oranges, Then we skipped away with tries to Jennings x 2 and Semi.
