Agree Tank, all roads lead to the Newcastle Knights - we are just joining the dots
BA makes obvious sense for Newcastle, but he literally just re-signed a contract extension 2 weeks ago with very strong assurances given to Leads that he'll stick it out next season.
Bad timing, but I think BA had his eyes on the Perth gig and when that fell through he started trying to secure his future for another year.
Also with AOB and BA being close I doubt the Knights would have sounded BA out prior to sacking AOB.
Who knows, contracts mean nothing in sports, but BA will have to seriously burn a bridge if he wants to return to Aus next season.

Nice post.
So its between blake green and BA, its likely he has a clause that he can terminate that contract for another opportunity to coach in the NRL - Blake Green to succeed will require a really experienced coaching staff around him, the appeal for Newcastle is BA ability to rebuild.
Interesting times ahead.
Yeah it's a bit bullshit they can just sit their team out , but I guess that's the joys of being up top. They've done it every year and it's worked for them. I hate the cunts , but can't criticise them for saving their stars from injury leading into the semis. The real question is , how did the bookies find out ? Inside trading 101 , there's a legal investigation here that everyone's missing.
Bookies playing outside of the rules. And someone at Penriths selling information.
Corrupt as fuck game , run by a corrupt as fuck organisation, with teams and players throwing games and influencing outcomes. It's poking its head up at the moment.
Best thing we can do is disconnect the Kayo, watch your team play if we must and then don't watch or click on another NRL related article again.
yep. Nrl running a meaningful investigation into this itself is not gonna happen. 3rd party audit time. Chips fall where they may
If you know anything about Austrac and how it works Wiz, you would realise how difficult it is to get a lot of money on without it being traced to the source, if its a couple of piddle bets, it's a non event anyway.
Even Ryan Tandy's game plan was discovered by book maker's turn over outside the norm and that was 15/2o years ago. The sophistication of Austrac systems now mean's you would be putting your financial existence at risk. If you thought you could bring off a plunge. Maybe India and China you could achieve it, but being international funds transfer it will show up somewhere.
Artifcial intelligence is making break through's in language translation with Whales, do you think it would not pick up 2 of the dumbest players currently playing the game. Cheese and Victor, shit if you could have had 5 picks, you mostly likely would have got them!
The pools are just not big enough in Rugby League, you really need an International sport, where world money is involved.
Every cash business in Australia is required by law to be registered with Austrac, don't get caught because the fines are enormous. If there was any match fixing or Insider trading in the "Cheese" case it more than likely was picked up by Austrac before giving it to the Federal Police.

I remember us doing the same about 2020-21 ish against the panthers leading into the finals also.As we had the panthers first up I think it was that 8-4 game where the trainer came on the field and stopped the game while we hot on attack late in the game.
