I agree Dragonfan..

a Sun reporter 'just happens' to be in the bookies at the time Shaun was putting the bet on and then amazingly Shaun spills the beans .. lol I dont think so.. Something stinks about the whole story!!

I can to be honest. Two immediate reasons spring to mind;

1) The aforementioned pair were effectively cited for one incident relating to one game. If the report is correct (and I know that's not a given) Leaf has admitted to more than one occasion and the report attempts to infer he may have been involved in match-fixing.

2) Even if this was just a like-for-like situation with the Long / Gleeson case the RFL may well take the view that the 3 or 4 months bans previously handed out have not prevented a repeat and perhaps harsher punishment (this time) may.

I think theres somthing fishy about this story I think the lads bin stitched up ok he shouldnt be betting against a club hes involved with but I think theres more to it!

Doncaster player bets on his team losing and it makes the national papers, i think that there is a lot more to this than has been released as yet.

Would not be surprised if the so called journalist gave Shaun the money to put on.

Not read the report yet, but am I right he took the handicap of +38 for Wakefield.....

This is not a question of morals.... or should it have anyway.... or anything about Shaun...i just want to ask a different sort of question.

Simple one....if Wakefield dont score their last try....does this story come out?

The report alleges he took [sizeminus[/size 38 Wakefield at 10/11 with Hills.

Just had a look on the Sun Website at the story and at the end there is a video of Shaun in the bookies but there is nothing in that video which suggests that he placed that bet. You see him with a betting slip and then placing the bet but my question is What bet? no evidence what so ever imho. here is the link and you can decide for yourselves. www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... -lose.html

In an undercover operation we first interviewed Leaf and then followed him into a betting shop in Knottingley
says the sun

i thought Shaun lived in Hull?? what was he doing in Knottingley??

Trying to go unnoticed?
I would have at least worn a mac and a false beard and glasses.

It's been mentioned on the Hull FC forum that he may have been
set up by a 'mate'.

Nevertheless, he's a very silly boy

yes. And then damn him for only getting 10/11.

According to todays Star Shaun is expected to be in the team for the game against Keighley not a mention of the betting scandal.

They will catch up sometime .

Shaun has been very stupid , he would be the last person I thought would place alleged bets against his club !
