Brandon Smith

News report is that he has been charged for supplying drugs. He has also been charged for providing inside knowledge related to betting. Souffs are refusing to stand him down but surely the NRL will stand him down over the betting charge.
 
Brandon Smith has been charged with drug supply and an “inside knowledge” betting offences, after he was interviewed by Queensland police officers at Coolangatta.

The Courier-Mail has confirmed Smith, has been charged with one count of supply dangerous drugs and one count of using or disclosing inside knowledge for betting.

Smith, spoke with police in Queensland after arriving ahead of the August 10 Rabbitohs’ match against Gold Coast Titans.

At the time, police said Smith spoke with police and was released without charge.

Police who were investigating as part of wider probe, later charged him with two offences.

It’s unclear what the disclosing knowledge for betting charge relates to, however the legislation is related to betting.

A police spokesman confirmed Smith was facing charges.

“A 29-year-old man has been issued with a Summons by Queensland Police on August 20 for supplying dangerous drugs and using or disclosing inside knowledge for betting,” a spokesman said.

“The man is expected to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on 18 September.

“Investigations by detectives from the Organised Crime Gangs Group, Taskforce Maxima, South Eastern Region are continuing.”

Earlier this month Acting Police Commissioner Shane Chelepy said Smith was spoken to as part of ongoing police matters.
 
Disclosing inside knowledge for betting? Is that against the law? Like if you know a player is injured and use that information to bet...is that even illegal?

Seems like we need more info on the betting situation.

From an NRL contract point of view it's a no no, but I am being specific to the legal side.

The Australian cricket board covered it up for years with Waugh and warne. So probably not criminally illegal.
Oh mark Waugh is an aussie he wears the baggy hat and when him and warnie saw the bookies cash he said I'm having that...
the song ends up with a ACB covering it up for years.

I have been closely scrutinising Brandon Smith's recent form and physique since his return from injury. One thing I can tell you is that the 'Block of Cheese' certainly isn't suffering from 'shrinkflation'!
 
To a lot of people, if any of this is true, is hardly a surprise.

To me - I've always defended him - I really like the Cheese and I genuinely enjoy listening to his takes on the game. I think, within the game itself, he is very switched on.

Be disappointed if these allegations turn out to be true.
 
Another year another Souffs player doing Souffs things. Queue character references from Scummy Summy and Latrine. No inference that remotely insensitive hand gestures or comments were vaguely directed at random indeterminable minorities that could be perceived as offensive, so clearly no significant NRL action is required. Glory, glory.
