My apologies
Tim Simona faces allegations that he arranged bets to be placed on opposition players he was marking to score tries against the Wests Tigers.
Fairfax Media understands part of the investigation into Simona's alleged betting activity, which is made up of numerous minor bets, revolves around the opposition tryscorers in Tigers matches last season.
\
\
It is believed the bets didn't come out of Simona's account, rather the Tigers centre helped facilitate the bets through people he knew.
The magnitude of the allegations, if proven, could see Simona permanently banned from the NRL.
\
\
Currently, the police are not investigating Simona's betting activity, but the NRL may hand over its findings to the authorities once Simona has been given the opportunity to front integrity unit boss Nick Weeks next week to respond to the allegations that are threatening to end his career.
The NRL issued him with a notice of intention to cancel his registration last Friday, forcing the Tigers to stand down the off-contract centre from playing and training duties until the matter is resolved.
It is understood the NRL received a tip-off informing them of Simona's betting activity, which prompted an investigation that led to last week's notice of intention being sent.
The probe into Simona's alleged infringements are not linked to the match-fixing investigation the NRL announced last year.
The NRL and Wests Tigers declined to comment when contacted by Fairfax Media on Wednesday.
Simona's management was approached for comment, but phone calls were not returned.
Simona, who has played 79 games for the Tigers since 2011, has been shopped around to rival clubs over the past few months in a bid to absolve the joint venture of their salary cap woes leading into the start of their season next Friday night.
Under NRL rules each club has to be under the salary cap by the start of round one, however the Tigers will apply for special cap dispensation from the governing body.
The Tigers have been trying to offload a player over the pre-season to comply with the salary cap, however they are reluctant to move on a player if Simona's contract is terminated by the NRL and therefore puts them under the cap for 2017.
The Tigers have been keen to offload Simona for some time, but the club wasn't aware of the allegations made against their player until last Thursday – the day before their last trial match against the Titans in Campbelltown that Simona wasn't allowed to play in.
While Simona was given five business days to put together an appeal to salvage his career, it is understood the Samoan international is still receiving information from the NRL's investigation and won't have to front the integrity unit until five days from the point of receiving all relevant documentation.
Under the NRL's betting code: "No NRL employee, NRL club employee, player, player manager or game official is allowed to participate, or be directly or indirectly involved in any way, in gambling in relation to rugby league. Or be involved directly or indirectly, in the provision of information not already in the public domain that might assist another person to gamble in relation to rugby league."
The last high-profile player to be banned for betting on matches was former Origin and Australian international, David Williams.
The Manly winger was banned for half the season and struggled to revive his career after he was found to have betted on several NRL matches, including games he was involved in for the Sea Eagles.
He was one of five players caught by the NRL, including Ethan Lowe, Cody Nelson, Hymel Hunt and Slade Griffin – who were stood down for breaching the code's rules.
