Under 20s Game Match Fixing Claims

Posted by Wile E. Coyote on September 9, 2016 at 1:02pm

But don’t be surprised if the NSW police and Crime Commission also take a close look at suspicious betting trends in Holden Cup matches.We’ve been made aware of at least two suspicious Under 20s matches over the past twelve months, which have involved crucial late changes.In one case the changes involved around half a dozen eligible players being drafted from NSW Cup at the eleventh hour.Bookmakers were stung badly as the team – rated rank outsiders – recorded a comfortable victory.The other game was played midway through last year on a Monday night.A well-placed source informed punting mates about the withdrawal of a key player for the favourites.Again, bookmakers were caught unaware as a plunge on the outsiders came off in spectacular style.

Just read an article from Triple M on Facebook which stated that all betting transactions around all manly games for the 2015 and 2016 years will be investigated as part of the police probe into NRL match fixing! I would have set up a blog but have no idea how to relay that info!

Today's SMH mentioned Steve Matai's phone had been seized. Manly (in the Telegraph) deny this.\

The lower grade match fixing rumours have been around for a while. I mentioned it a few months ago, I believe round 8 was rumoured to be under investigation.
