Oh puhleeze
why why why indeed
what is wrong with ppl these days ? No spine
Lol, tis the season.
Laughable..... stopping the game in a final deliberately and the NRL may fine the club.... fuck me talk about shutting the gate after the horse has bolted ..... it's a circus run by clowns abd we all pay to watch it
what a soft cock move if true.
x a billion
they are taking a page out of scummos book , deflect and let someone else take the fall
they hope eels supporters are as dumb as they think the electorate is
If it came out tomorrow that Klein was being blackmailed by an underground betting syndicate with photos of him and Matt Checchin in a compromising situation I woudnt even be the slightest bit shocked. The calls this guy has blundered this season are way past the point of incompetent.
He's the most controversial NRL identity since Ryan Tandy. The fact people think it's far fetched for officials to be on the take or have been pressured to get a result is quite unbelievable. Criminals are willing to blackmail , threaten, pay off people to avoid a month in jail, do you really think these crime syndicates are too morally pure to get to an NRL official when it involves millions of dollars in betting funds ? If so you're being naive. The old man was a detective in Sydney during the 80s and 90s and I've been for many a drink with him and his mates over the years and accordung to them every second game could've been investigated for some kind of fix if you could've bet the way we currently bet. Or are we to belive these criminal identity's just latch onto players to get their jerseys autographed ?
Oh I would believe it wiz
Exactly Bert why!?! how does that private convo even make it to press?!!! Ivan or Brad? Did he come under pressure to do and leak this I wonder?
Amongst so many other things, the Penrith trainer asked for the play to be stopped or the officials did one or both of the fuckers did impact on our ability to compete on even playing field. These questionable matters absolutely 100% impacted on the validity of our bloody loss Brad. And that is the whole bloody point!!!
Ripped off by refs and officials and tactics, and now I sadly gotta say I feel ripped off by Brad!
was so pleased that he spoke up on behalf of his team and all of us and now this backtrack. Why!?!
. He has done himself no favours in credibility stakes with anyone and blown it next time he has absolutely well founded cheat concerns as well. It doesn’t get bigger in unfairness than what happened throughout this match and he was right to raise it in presser what bloody coach would not have - Bellamy Robbo Clint Ricky Hell even Hannah did - AND they would all raise it in a two point season ending nail bitter because of the validilty of THE Loss to their side, hence questioning the validity of the Panthers win.
Classic case of can’t please everyone Brad and now you’ve pleased no one!!
Brissy the absolutely legit critism of the refs and officials has a direct impact on our loss and the validity of the win. That is THE whole issue. he did well to bring it up and now retracted why!?
Done privately then how come we are reading about it here?
it was not smart of Brad to do this and naive even - and next time he has legit gripes, they will hold zero weight. (tho doubt they’ll ever be more legit than this match)
Do we really belive BA would do this and then leak it? It sounds more like someone else has orchestrated this story. Maybe the club to avoid a fine.
Brad does not seem like the kind of bloke who leaks story's to the media whether it be for our advantage or not.
