DYLAN WELCH: Shell's evidence was that a few weeks later, he decided to alert the Bulldogs. At a cafe in Sydney's Homebush, he met Bulldogs football manager Alan Thompson and the club's CEO, Todd Greenberg. Greenberg is now the NRL's deputy chief executive. Shell said he showed them Tandy's betting ledger, which lists a series of losing bets on racing and rugby league matches. Despite being presented with evidence Tandy was betting on NRL matches, Shell said the pair told him to take the issue up with Tandy's manager. Greenberg and Thompson declined to be interviewed. Via a spokesman, Greenberg denied being told about Tandy's NRL betting plunge.
Schell said in a sworn police statement tendered to Tandy’s trial in 2011 that he had shown Greenberg and Thompson a ledger of bets that included four losing wagers on league games worth a total of $21,000.
The magistrate in Tandy’s trial said Schell ‘‘impressed me as [a] frank [and] comprehensive’’ witness but Villa’s report maintained there was no proof that Greenberg had seen evidence of Tandy betting on NRL matches.

Well if this is true its a freaking disgrace and confirms TG is not fit for running the game.
Yes I know. Noticed some of the replies on this and another blog seemed to go from the 'my blog site'. Do they inform you if they are taking something down? Not sure why?

We need to focus on whether we broke the rules - if we didn't we need to strongly and clearly articulate this to the NRL asap. If we did, let's start negotiating to try and get the penalty reduced - and by that I mean the points element.
