Murray free to play: Sportsnewsfirst

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on February 21, 2011 at 8:30pm

Brad Murray, the Parramatta player caught on CCTV placing a bet on the infamous round 24 Cowboys and Bulldogs match, will be free to play until the NRL receives a police report confirming he is guilty.

 

“The matter is in the hands of the police and until we’ve got more information about that we are not really in a position to act at this stage,” CEO David Gallop told Sportsnewsfirst.com.au.

“He’s clearly guilty of placing a bet but we don’t have evidence of what that bet was on, it may not have even been on football.”

    Let the spin begin. He must have done sort of back door deal. They go from knowing he puts the bet on at the terminal at the exact time. Now they suddenly don't know what the actual bet was. All tab terminals are logged in the system all they have to do is audit them.

    Great thought Tony.

    Even better defense.

    "I was only placing a bet on the Dogs"

    Police, NRL and Parra can rest easy.

     

    Case closed. lol
