Match fixing scandal.... connect the dots or coincidence?

With Eddie Hayson now implicated in the scandal, it makes for an interesting game of connect the dots for those possibly involved.

*Manly have been named as the team involved in both games.

*Andrew Johns was Manlys halves coach when both games took place.

*Johns has a checkered history with Eddie Hayson, going back to his playing days at Newcastle when Hayson collected $2 million on a game between Newcastle (unbackable favorites) against the Warriors (+16.5) when Johns pulled out of the game at the last minute (Hayson backed the Warriors head to head to win)

*Johns has shares in race horses with Hayson and was implicated in the Gai Waterhouse and John Singleton fallout over information Johns passed on to Hayson from Tom Waterhouse about the fitness of More Joyous.

*Hayson is rumored to have met with Kieren Foran in Brisbane on May 20, the day after Foran's TAB account was allegedly used for a massive betting spree.

*Foran played in both games under investigation.

*Liam Foran is believed to be a close associate of Hayson, and a known heavy punter.

I really hope that Kieren is not involved in any of this, because not only are his playing days at the eels over, so is his career.

"Can't say I'm personally a fan of the '1986' jersey. Despite the clubs claim that 'Our 2026 Home Jersey reignites the spirit of a golden era', I completely disagree. Other than 1986 itself, the club made 0 finals series wearing this strip, were…"

I know I'm worried that there is enough smoke to make a fire.
But joey and eddie have been very good at keeping them selves from having anything stick to them.

  How does a coach fix a game other than tell the players to tank. Coaches don't miss tackles, drop balls or give away penalties.

  How do you think Hayson would get involved with Manly players? Maybe an introduction via the assistant coach

  He sent them an email and taped the minutes.

Its all very fair points mate and theres a lot more links and dots to be joined regarding our number 7 regardless of if he is involved with this specific alleged fix or not, and its his fault nobody elses that speculation is rife.

  What happens if Foran is one of them; Eels lose again- probably worst season a club could go through

  I'd be interested to know which prescription drugs have been abused. Albeit pain killers or sleeping tablets. The way a certain persons life is going at the moment draws parallels to heavy methamphetamine use.

So how about waiting to see if there is any actual evidence proven, before we all go off slandering our half back?
