THE TURF war between the Canberra Raiders and Greater Western Sydney has spilled into the Riverina, with Raiders boss Don Furner labelling the AFL as mercenaries following Wagga City Council's decision to pile $300,000 into the Giants' coffers.

A three-year deal was struck last week for the GWS to host pre-season games and community camps in Wagga, but the Raiders privately feel the Giants are holding the city to ransom.

The Raiders are fuming after spending 30 years staging regular pre-season trials and helping develop talent in the Riverina for no financial reward.

The NRL club played the Bulldogs in a pre-season trial in February which raised well over $40,000, all of which was used to improve the facilities at Wagga's multi-sport complex Equex Centre.

NRL chief David Gallop will meet with the Wagga council about what he perceives as favourable treatment toward the AFL.

In March, Furner said it would be a ''joke'' if GWS called Canberra home on the back of a $26 million agreement to play four games a season in the capital for ten years.

''We're very keen to ask questions as to why [this agreement has happened], after we've been a supporter of that region for so long and doing it off our own steam,'' Furner said.

''We've not put our hand out, and to be brutally honest it highlights how mercenary the AFL is, they're very aggressive.

''I tend to get disappointed because I feel that they certainly throw the 'community' word around a lot … well we're two hours from Wagga, we recruit a lot of players and play trials there.

''Certainly we want to catch up with the Wagga council, put our case forward and say 'what are we doing wrong'.''

Around $30,000 was spent by the council to cover the accommodation and travel costs of the Bulldogs and Raiders in February, with all profits from the match remaining with Wagga rugby league.

''The reasons why clubs like us and the Bulldogs take games out to the country is it gives that region a chance to make some money,'' Furner said. ''The money stays there for the benefit of the sport, and it's a way we can give something back.''

Current Raiders squad members such as Glen Buttriss and Josh McCrone are Riverina products, while past players such as Simon Woolford, Luke Davico, Brett Mullins and Laurie Daley all hail from the region.

''If we take a kid from the Riverina and bring him into our system, we have to pay a $5000 development fee and that money goes straight back into country rugby league,'' Furner said.

''We and the Bulldogs inadvertently raised about $50,000 in that area and we didn't take the money out of the town, the local rugby league invested it into the Equex Centre. That is a council-owned property, and we helped raise money for it.''

Gallop said in Wagga's The Daily Advertiser he would be seeking answers on the logic behind the council's decision.

''I know that the local leagues would like to understand just what the terms of the council investment are and we would certainly be interested in talking with the council to see why there is not similar support for rugby league,'' Gallop said. ''It is certainly an unusual step for a council to invest in a Sydney AFL club that already boasts publicly about its financial backing.''

They include, *Ryan... Let me give you the short version ...

- 6 people were charged originally. They include, Ryan Tandy (Sam's client GUILTY), John Elias (not guilty), Sam Ayoub (not guilty), Brad Murray (Sam's client / Parra Jnr. Case to be heard in future), Jai Ayoub (Sam's son. Case to be heard in future), Greg Tait (real estate agent, case to be heard on June 6).

- The matrix of phone calls and bets placed can be viewed here : http://media.dailytelegraph.com.au/m...h/Document.pdf

- Ryan Tandy was previously found guilty of "attempting to obtain a financial advantage for others by deception" AND "Providing false information to the NSW Crime commission"

- John Elias was previously found NOT guilty of "attempting to obtain a financial advantage by deception"

- Sam Ayoub was found NOT guilty of "attempting to obtain a financial advantage by deception".

- Magistrate yesterday refused evidence for the prosecution by Brad Murray on the grounds he "has his own case on a similar charge" (Murray had previously lived with Ayoub, and during John Elias's hearing he retracted earlier claims in statement to police that Sam Ayoub had instructed him to place bets)

- Magistrate yesterday said "''It was not the result of the accused's deception. The prosecution case must fail,''.

- Magistrate also disagreed with the prosecution's argument that Mr Ayoub had ''requisite insider knowledge'' when he placed the bet.

- Referring to similar bets made by people who were familiar with Sam Ayoub, magistrate said they were ''outside the jurisdiction of the court''.

- Magistrate also pointed to evidence that the $90 bet (note the above document link suggests the bet was $990) was within Mr Ayoub's normal range of betting

- Wagering expert Mark Phillips had given evidence there was ''no suspicion'' attached to it. Mark Phillips is one of three people who runs "Global Sports Integrity" which operates out of London. GSI has no known association with TabCorp, Centrebet or any of Australia's operating betting agencies.

- Sam Ayoub will now sue NSW Police for legal costs.
