It seems very unfair to me. He bet on games you would expect them to lose. Why ban him for that long? Fines are ok to be different as higher leagues earn more, but bans need to be the same.

Quote: joetwizzy "He also admitted not trying as hard in certain games as to loose. It should have been a life ban!'"

Absolute rubbish!

"Leaf was found not guilty of providing privileged information to a third party to assist in betting activity; seeking to influence improperly the result and engaging in a conduct that was corrupt or fraudulent."

sorry if i sound stupid, i understand its not acceptable to bet against your own team. but what is the problem with him putting bets on a game that doesnt involve him at all ?

If he was throwing games then the ban is fair but if all he is doing is ripping off the bookies he has my sympathy the sooner we have betting away from our sport the better. I have not bought a shirt this year as we are sponsored by gambling & I would like the RFL to stop the gambling industry using our fixtures or results.

Depends what he was betting on. Interesting that a Wigan game was involved. Wonder how Tomkins is involved in all of this? eusa_think.gif
