wow if they *allegedly* knew about this and tried to punt him before it all came out that's a low act
what about his new club who just paid for a player and are left with nothing?

 

[The EELiminator]

it makes you wonder just how widespread illegal gambling by players is

I just told my mate who is a tiger fan that it is a set up to get rid of him. He didn't deny it

Quality player....will (potentially) serve a ban and need a lifeline. We're pretty good with lifelines....

That is two players (Simona/Gambling, Lovett/Cocaine) now that the Tigers have tried to parcel off to other clubs while likely in the knowledge of looming criminal charges. Quality work from a NRL governed club.

Hopefully the blowtorch is applied to the Tigers and NRL on this.

Nothing will come of it of course, but I'd love to see Teflon Todd and Co. put under the microscope and asked, yet again, why were the NRL so late to take action.... So reactive this mob

depends on how ornery toddy is he might cop a life ban who knows?

If they knew about this they didn't need to punt him. If the NRL cancels his registration his whole contract is off their cap. I wonder if the Tigers were the ones who dobbed him in.

why do you think criminal charges are likely?

this seems to be a breach of the NRL's rules on players betting seeing it was the NRL who released this and not the police

probably just something similar to when the Wolfman had a bet on himself to be the top try scorer

IIRC a jockey or trainer can be warned off from race tracks by a court. But thats the scope of police involvement.

if nrl cancels his registration the tigers have cash in hand but still have to go find another player

what if they organise a player swap with another club then they have a replacement ready to go and the other club is left holding the bag when he gets busted

I think you will find that's because horse racing is legislated in each state and has legal rules in place.

The NRL (and proabably every other sport) just makes up their own rules.

I've got no idea but if you bet on yourself to lose and throw the game could it be deemed as insider trading?
