It really does beggar belief:

Basically Saints' GB internationals Sean Long and Martin Gleeson have been the centre of allegations made in a 3 page colour spread in the national press that they bet £1,000 each on St Helens to LOSE their match against Bradford IN THEIR OWN NAMES :shock: .
The controversy if unrelated to the picking of a weakened team, but shows the new levels of utter stupidity that the pair have descended to. Saints are saying they will investigate the matter, but I have no doubt about it, the careers of these two are OVER! The betting by players is prohibited by the RFL but to make things even more concrete Gleeson played in the game!!!
Undoubtedly two of Super League's finest players the pair will undoubtedly receive record bans from the RFL for this. Possible punishments range from fines to bans to total expulsion from the sport. I would be both shocked and annoyed if the pair weren't sacked if found guilty.
Bye, bye lads, you've done yourselves proud :lol:
