Not 'Rugby League's Betting Scandal' more 'One Idiots (Alleged) Betting Scandal'

That said, I don't see any evidence of match fixing, more a bloke thinking his team will lose on the handicap. Match fixing would need a hell of a lot more than one player involved.

Do I think the game is bent? Not a chance. There's far more dodgy results out there in other sports, look at football in Italy where the draw pre-match is 1/3, and individual sports where the players can easily conspire a result.

Whether it's having a bet (and surely you'd get a mate to do it and not brag) or posting on Facebook, players do seem to be idiots at times!

He wasn't even playing though - misleading article really, but still doesn't change the fact that a dunce has bet on his own team to get beat. Deserves all gets simply for being thick.

One reason why the 60k a week is a good thing in the Premiership!

Whilst what he's done is against the the rules and he should be punished accordingly his biggest crime is being as thick as pig$hit.

He's done well to earn a testimonial by the age of 22 as well!

Class - post of the day.

Front and backpage of a national newspaper!!! RL is lucky to get a paragragh usually in the press! unbelievable

Bit strange the Sun doing an "undercover" investigation on a Doncaster player! Sounds like a mate of his has grassed him up.

Sounds like that to me.

Mind you we are talking about the Sin here who just tend to print sensationalist sheite aimed at mostly uneducated people that more often than not is untrue.

Not being funny but if the by 'Match fixing' they mean as printed being able to see when a handicap is not enough and worth a couple of quid, then this is a massive scandal. Think of all the supporters who must also be involved when they have bet against their team winning.

This is just what The Sun is good at sensationalising a nothing story. Remember this is the newspaper that ran a campaign to have a Coronation Street character released from prison. It would a stretch to believe the date in that rag.

What an absolute puddin'. Obviously not a the front of the queue for brains.
Is it really worth a few quid to receive a long ban, the man is a fool.
Although its a pity the Sun doent give as much press to the positive aspects of rugby league. Its not even good enough for chip paper or t/roll.

Out of interest Shaun is school teacher.

Stupid thing to have done, but nothing near the magnitude the Sun have made it out to be.

Its not as if he was drunk on a stage in a nightclub on Saturday night in Donny on the DJ mike shouting out that Donny were fielding a weakened team and everyone should lump on.

However, if he does get sacked, I expect Kear to sign him up as another "project" player.

Let me guess - PE teacher?
