Weidler is a mud raking, wanna-be journalist who is really a blight on the game off the field.

He makes up rumours just to sensationalise his gig on Ch 9 and the crap he writes in the Sunday herald.

This is the same bloke who justifed and sided with $BW when he left his teammates.

Whether it is true or not, what relevance does it have to him playing footy? Whose business is it anyway? Why should this be public knowledge? After the BS that Crowe went on with when Sandow signed with us, i wouldn't be surprised if this rumour came from a 50uffs official.

Pretty sure that the RLW Mole said that his family encouraged him to move his wife n kids away from his current environment because of gambling. So that would have been over a month ago. Hardly a scoop or news worthy. #fail

think they got it off Paul Kent

Sandow's decision to go to Parra has less to do with money than the armchairs critics realise. You guys need to lay off #nrl

@RLW_Mole Sandow's reps approached Parra. Believed he was in bad environment at Souths. That's what he meant by "doing best" for his kids.

Sandow rumours are ridiculous: Eels

AAP

Parramatta boss Paul Osborne has described as "ridiculous" rumours the NRL club is aware star signing Chris Sandow has a gambling problem.

Sandow will join the Eels from South Sydney on a four-year deal from 2012.

The Nine Network reported on Monday night that Eels officials had signed the 22-year-old halfback with the knowledge he has issues with gambling.

"I'm not going to comment on it, it's just ridiculous," Osborne told AAP.

The report said one reason Sandow quit the inner city club for the Eels was to move away from major gambling venues.

The Star City Casino controversially became a major sponsor of the Rabbitohs this season.

The deal came despite club owners Russell Crowe and Peter Holmes a Court previously taking an anti-gambling stance by seeking to remove poker machines from South Sydney Leagues Club.

At the time, Hollywood actor Crowe argued Star City's merits as an entertainment venue.

Rumours have also circulated the Eels paid gambling debts for Sandow and it is understood Parramatta officials were aware of those rumours but strongly deny them.

Nine said Souths had denied instigating them.

Yet another smear campaign on individuals related to our club.
It's funny how Weidler says we bought him with knowledge of his gambling problem, as if we are making the problem, when he has been at Souths all this time and this hasn't come out until they realized he was leaving them?

The Weasel should be sued for defamation.

Sandow's only gambling problem is that he has been betting on Souths to win each week

How does Sandow reach the machines?....he must sit on a chair when he plays the machines. :crazy:
