There was no investigation after it became apparent that the only source of "evidence" was a rumour started on a Whitehaven fans forum website........

| I'm no expert on this, but isn't the spot fixing issue mainly from Asia. Over here it is very hard to bet on isolated incidents such as yellow cards in football or no balls in cricket. In Asia these markets exist. I can't see RL even registering in Asia and as the above posters say, it's very hard to get in RL to get certain incidents to happen. E.G getting yourself sin binned.

I appreciate you are trying to be funny, but this post is disgraceful. I am no lawyer but I would suggest this is close to liable. So if a mod won't take it off I suggested you do.

You are aware that by quoting the "humorous text" in your post you are preserving it even if the poster removes the original?

| Well if that's the case then I'd suggest that the forum be closed down, since any direct inference to any players could be "liable" i.e. linking rumors/speculation of transfer activites, bans / suspensions etc.
It's shown as a "quote" to denote something that could theroectically happen, and is not a direct accusation against any individual, for any direct situation.

This scenario relies too heavily on the ref actually spotting anything.

No that's just your interpretation.

| If you think out of the box I am sure certain things could be bet on. First scrum. First penalty First knock on etc etc. it's not all about scores and cards from the ref. If you are the one who kicks off you can easily kick the ball dead from ko. This first penalty. A prop who is often first receiver from ko can knock on.
Equally as each game now has a visible clock you could transgress at a particular time. By saying its difficult to do is potentially denying it can occur.
The Asian market may well be an area that does not know about RL but equally that doesn't mean it wouldn't appeal.
I do agree though that the rewards might not be so great as football but it's all relative at the end of the day.

Libel is quite close to liable.

ALL WIGAN SUPPORTERS MUST
1. Wigan must not win a hard fought struggle in appalling conditions, nilling the opposition and scoring 16 points, because that makes for the worst CC Final of all time.
2. Wigan must not get to the final by nilling the opposition and scoring 70 points with a display of attacking rugby because that makes for the worst CC Semi Final of all time.
3. Wigan players must not consider winning the game but devote all their efforts to entertaining neutral fans. Just like all the other teams do...
4. Wigan fans must not mention winning the CC Final, as that is arrogant.
5. Wigan fans must not mention winning the Challenge Cup 19 times, or indeed any other Trophies, as that is very arrogant indeed.
6. Wigan fans must not attend actual games. It is now compulsory to stay at home, watch on TV and moan about how low attendances at games are.: |

| I think the refs would be the easiest area for this sort of thing.
"10 penalties per half ref, worth a few bob if you do it"
"Send someone to the bin in the first half, buy you a pint"
"penalise the Dragons for being French, you'll be a hero in Heckmondwike"
Footy refs have have been caught doing this sort of thing (although if my memory serves me right Brian Clough was furious that Nottingham Forest got the rough end of an Anderlecht stick due to a ref and there have been a couple in recent years with dodgy pens being awarded with a German ref getting a life ban IIRC). Wonder if our refs could be tempted? Here that the badger's arms in Oldham does a rather good pint for those who could help secure SL status to the town's team.
For the benefit of retiretthename, other than the bit about the footy refs this is all very tongue in cheek, don't shout at me.
