@Furious1 said:I think he's screwed either way. Whether he is found guilty of it or not. If he played again every error he makes, defensive lapse etc is going to have everyone around him wondering whether he's got a bet going.
He would have been one of the last blokes at WT I would've thought ( allegedly) be involved in that sort of thing

Maybe the NRL will finally give in and stop supporting betting agencies…

@andrew 474 said:2GB news have said NRL have handed documents to the NSW Police , this does not sound good at all , but still we need to wait before we hang him
@wd in perth said:He's hardly going to make things glaringly obvious in missing tackles or putting in stupid kicks. There's any number of ways to allow a try to take place or to gently encourage things to happen the way you'd like them to. I don't really accept an argument of his defence was good. Maybe his pace was down, maybe his talk wasn't what it was supposed to be, I dunno, it's just crap to think that once again, our team, our club is in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. God it's hard.

Exactly, league has a history of promoting one bad addiction after another. Smokes then booze now gambling.
Time for a change.
@Eddie said:It doesn't matter if the bets were $10 or whatever its still horrible look for Tim and the game that a player is allegedly betting on his direct opposite to score tries.
Regardless of who you think might be doing it or whether you feel Tim is being made an example of he got caught and he would have known deep down what a shameful action he was taking.
A 5 year penalty might be fair but he might even get life if proven. Integrity of the game is everything. As people have been saying the NRLs relationship with these betting agencies is a horrible and their inviting this sort of stuff. We used to laugh at over seas sports now its happening in our own back yard and will only get worse.
@TigerThor said:It's all in the timing - He had more talent than most & bets reportedly seem small . He is likely to get less 2nd chances than a lot of other colourful characters in the code. It's very much like being the school student caught talking in class after worse transgressors have been previously warned!
