What are your thoughts on Matt Ceechin asking whether he needs to blow more offside penalties?

My two bobs worth and I stand by what I say.

Been saying it for years and been called a conspiracy theorist. Doesn't look like a theory anymore, doesn't it?

This putrid excuse for a professional comp is nothing but a betting product, easier to rig than horse racing.

Nothing will happen because the National Betting League is owned and run by the betting agencies.

To sum up, Gus wasn't shocked because he has tapes of the refs talking about penalty counts, they like to award roughly 15 penalties in a game to make it look like they are "fair"

Gag the clubs and coaches from criticizing the officials and this is what you get. Let me echo Pay's famous words " It's like were not supposed to win".

They have obviously been told to dud a few teams in recent years. Can't remember a game where we won via a favourable call....
But its funny that i can name at least 3 or 4 games this year that we have been fucked over

Its been a farce for years. Ever since betting agencies have become so heavily involved. So its of no surpris to me.
I find it rediculous as well that at the beginning of the year they were happy to give away 30+ penalties in a game, but now its normal to only have aay 16. wheres the consistency? isnt that what its all about?

As Gomer Pyle would say " Surprise, surprise, surprise" NOT..

It is not as if we have not been thinking along these lines because there have been other times at which there have been some suspicious comments by referees picked up on audio. This smacks of game management to the nth degree and it just tends to alienate the public more and more and make the game look corrupt. There should be NO hints as to the way penalties etc are going..the game is supposed to be officiated in a particular manner i.e. unreservedly fairly and without bias...as the referee sees it unfold without any pointers from the referees boss. Gus is not particularly a favourite of mine but I applaud him for his comments and the way he pulled no punches. "Absolutely" was one word he used when talking about it.

SOO; case in point, where so as not to spoil the spectacle, we have less penalties blown than in a regular game where they have no worries about disturbing the flow of the game with repetitious penalties for certain offences on the goal line at the expense of ones we can see unfolding as well, such as midfield penalties for offside, laying on the tackles player etc.

There are two areas that are a particular bugbear of mine at the moment; the second marker who is supposed to stand DIRECTLY behind the first and maintain contact with that player...instead they are allowed to stand a metre and a half back and to the side of the first marker meaning they are OFFSIDE and the fact that deliberate forward passes are going unchecked and unpenalised instead they are being treated liker an accident. On the weekend too saw a kicker ( Lewis) taken late after he kicked with no penalty awarded. Heaven help us if one of those went our way.

In an effort to seem consistent with the awarding of penalties they are now manufacturing skewed penalty counts which are doing a great disservice to the game.

It would be awesome if a class action suit against the NBL wins and punters will get returned every cent bet on games that they ever laid out. Sending the agencies broke and killing off the NBL, opening up a takeover by another, more professional league.

Probably will never happen, but stranger things have happened.

Worked fine on my phone

Saying that ccehin, asking things like " what's the numbers" and if he needs "more action on the 10, or just keep doing what I'm doin"

Moonface Gus even confirms it, "it's been happening for years, they just change the code name, like barries eg"

We all joke about it here and there but I never actually thought it was true.
If games are in fact rigged or influenced by the refs, then I'm out. I'll either go to a mates place just to watch dogs games or the club. I'm not working out $65 a month for this corrupt shite!!!
Foxtel isn't worth the cash anymore imo

I have been saying it for years
This is only a scratch on the surface
There should a federal investigation into referees match fixing.
There should an investigation by ICAC
This is the only way to get rid of the evil and corrupted betting !!!
Otherwise...The game is dying the certain but slow DEATH !!!

FROM 2017 NRL Financial Report:
We value the support of leading companies including Telstra, partner of the NRL Telstra Premiership, Finals and Grand Final, in addition to major partners SportsBet, Carlton & United Breweries, Holden and Harvey Norman.

The NRL’s partnership with Australia’s number one online wagering platform, SportsBet, continued to drive interest in the game while leading the way in the promotion of responsible gambling. SportsBet increased its share of the Rugby League market by 5% in 2017.



ON ANOTHER TOPIC... I couldn't get over those lips in the video. Reminded me of Quagmires Dad in Family Guy.

WWE.
And the meatheads in NRL management cant understand why the game is dying.
Peter Beatie cant even distinguish between a Newcastle jersey to a Barcelona jersey.

Anyways, good luck Belgium tonight.....
