So how clean is the game?

Also, even this supposed “we have evidence, but it goes to another school, you wouldn’t know it” garbage is only related to players giving someone an update on a player’s injury, or the mood at training etc.

Otherwise a known as the standard shit that the entire horse racing industry is built upon.

They talk as though it is “undermining the sport”. f**king bullshit. All it does is undermines bookmakers ability to effectively pillage their customers. I couldn’t give a f**k if player behaviour leads to bookies and/or punters getting bad odds. Sport is not here for f**king punters and gamblers. If you want a punt go to the track or casino with the rest of the mugs

In any case, it's illegal whether you think it should be or not.

This is like that labor party driven bullcrap about drugs in sport. Its nothing more than a token effort to drag the game down.
Most of that stuff is so unimportant its ridiculous.

IF there is any "real" wrong doing deal with it and get it done and dusted before the media is told.
If there is any leaks double the punishment.

And whether it happened or not.

So convenient that the police are able to just claim the game is rife with illegal activity without having a single piece of actual evidence to offer up to prove their claims.

Millions well spent

Who says they don't have evidence?

The police. Not enough evidence to charge anyone with a single thing.

Oh, they claim they have lots of old evidence.... but they can’t show us that, we just have to take their word for it

Ffs. Learn about the burden of proof required to prove a prima facie case.

Further, they're not going to release any sort of evidence to the public just to satisfy your curiosity. You're not involved in any sort of investigation for the police and have f**k all authority to comment on their investigations.

So no, they can't show any evidence they have for privacy reasons and more may come to light later.

So they aren’t going to release the evidence for privacy reasons.... but they are going to happily have a presser and tell everyone it definitely exists and lay out in detail a range of criminal corruption allegations at 400 NRL players?

Yup, really exercising their legal obligations there.

You can’t hide behind the police needing to follow procedure and protect privacy on one hand, then defend them getting up and tossing about wild allegations against an entire player group with absolutely zero evidence presented to back their claims on the other

Ugh. There's no reasoning with you. Carry on with your belief that there's no match fixing going on in the game.

Every single NRL player shelves pingas the night before a game.
I have evidence of this, I'm just not going to show you.
