Manly vs Eels Rd 7, 2016 INVESTIGATED

Posted by The French Fullback #1 on August 5, 2016 at 1:19pm

Here's the video story. Essentially an $18,000 bet was was put on Parra with a 4.5 start (not sure if +4.5 or -4.5, we covered it either way 22-10) and the punter won $41,000.http://www.snappytv.com/snaps/nrl-match-fixing-about-7-news-sydney-on-seven-sydney_qn

After watching it again, "Parramatta giving away 4.5 start" suggests it was an Eels -4.5 wager (?)

  Parra -4.5. That is correct.

Hopefully it leads to Foz being stamped out for good . ( if of course he was in anyway implemented )

I'm not a punter. Is this an unusual bet? I mean it seems ok to me.

  Not too sure jimmy, I've no idea on the larger amounts punters wager but 18k doesn't sound too big, maybe it is?

  Perhaps it was the fact that someone stood there and put 350 notes into a tab terminal that has no way of knowing who the punter was. Doesn't sound like your average punter

We were playing well, had a Stronger team on paper than manly, what is strange about that bet? Plenty of rich punters out there

I recall a game last year where Brett Stewart dropped a pretty easy bomb when the game was in the balance. Thought it was a bit sus.

Snake n foz will be playing for silverwater United next year lol!

Its quite clear Manly want Stewart off their books especially with Tom T playing so well at Full Back, maybe Manly have leaked some info...
