EXCLUSIVE
Bulldogs front-rower Ryan Tandy has been arrested by police for his alleged role in a betting sting on Canterbury's round-24 NRL match against North Queensland last year.
Detectives from the State Crime Command's Racing and Casino Investigation Unit are finalising their investigation into suspicious betting activity on the game, an inquiry that has this month used the powers of the NSW Crime Commission.

It is understood Tandy was arrested today.
His role in the match has been a centre of focus since betting agencies reported suspicious punting trends on the usually novelty option of the Cowboys to open the scoring with a penalty goal.
The alleged sting was ultimately unsuccessful after the Cowboys declined a chance to kick an easy goal after two minutes, and instead scored a try.
Tandy, who was penalised in front of the posts for lying on Cowboys half Grant Rovelli, strongly denied giving it away intentionally in an interview with the Herald published on August 28.
