Interesting indeed. Wasn't something like this mentioned earlier in the season. Will be interesting to find out which clubs are in trouble.

So much gambling tied to the nrl now this is no great suprise. Let's just hope no eels are involved.

  It says a number of players are involved which means it may be spread over a number of clubs.

They need to bring sharia law into the NRL. Public stoning and lashings would solve the problems.

  Some players may actually enjoy that. Being stoned in public then whipped.

I have no problem as long as you don't bet against your own team and only bet for the win

  I get your point but that would be so hard to police. It's one thing allowing them to bet but another knowing who they r betting on.
