[_G-Dog_]

The NRL has alot of please explains to do first..

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Aren't the Bulldogs part of the reclaimthegame thingy? Isn't that why this is an issue?

 

[Mr 95%]

Yet how man stadiums are sponsored by betting agencies..or even teams.

 

[Sir dogeth style]

even with willie at T.A.B and ladbrokes as a former sponsor reffs still never help us lol

btw nrl, the kennel issues you a santa sized list of please explains lmfao

 

[Sir dogeth style]

What is the difference between a nrl club sponsored team bring corporate people from betting organisations. Into lunches, sponsorship negotiations etc and a employee of a club having a role or job.

the difference is bulldogs thats why lol

 

[Vlasnik]

The NRL should investigate it self first for getting into bed with Betting agencies in the first place!!! Bloody hypocrites!!!

Its the inside info issue..

 

[Mr 95%]

Its the inside info issue..

Yeah..but I guess that could be said about CEOs who guide sponsorships..any connections whatsoever.. I reckon there should be a blanket ban of any connection between betting sponsorships and sport..

 

[habs]

Is this because of scope's podcast? Whoever wrote this article was probably the one who raised with the NRL. Suck it.

 

[D.O.W.]

Buzz agenda and a non-event.

I won't be able to trust the results aren't rigged in the NRL while they've got a betting agency as a corporate partner. The constant rule changes to add new grey area's for referee discretion on calls, rules that basically allow W them to make calls without much scrutiny (6 again rules), coaches gagged from criticisms of decisions. These gambling organisations shouldn't have ever been allowed to have any relationship with the game. It's basically a version of insider trading and a massive conflict of interest.

But a few coaches assistants get gigs with gambling agencies and it's highly suspicious suddenly.

Bulldogs should counter issue the NRL with a please explain on why Tom Burgess is playing this week and beyond after grabbing Reynolds nuts.

I mean, that probably needs more explaining than the Willie Mason thingo.

 

[chuckynemo]

You're not wrong but it aint happening... I'd also say Mason is in direct contact with coaches and the playing group whilst the CEO make mere Caminos from the stands.

 

[John Matrix]

A nothing story with the agenda driven buzz behind it.

The NRL can kiss my ass for all I care, they pick and choose when to get involved.

 

[Dognacious]

Lol. Sports betting agencies are all over sponsoring the game, but you cant have a relationship with any of them as an assistant coach? Considering Masons relationship is probably some kind of advertising / media role, its no worse than the players having it on their jerseys, or naming stadiums after sportbetting agencies.

Ban any connections..solves the innuendoes..

Ofcourse it does but game relies on their sponsorship money... well documented.
