Tim Simona - Deregistered

@ said:
Simona deserves what he has received if Jaya's FB post is any indication. It probably just scratches the surface. She has deleted it though so out of respect to her wishes I won't post specifics.

Why mention it then?
 
@ said:
So he has a cocaine addiction now too?
Light on details there…. Tame I guess when looking at the big picture but I wouldn't be surprised rothfield just threw that in for extra tang

That my bigger concern with this. Simona confessed and we know Lovett is a user as well.

The club must do an internal regular audit on this as there could be a problem within our club.

While in general terms bashing your missus is deplorable, far worse than throwing a footy match to win yourself a few bucks, unfortunately a player beating their missus up does not cheapen the contest between two teams and has no real impact on how a game is played out. The product itself is directly threatened by players betting on games.

But you're suggesting Simona fixed, which the NRL accepts he didnt.

The betting was stupid but harmless. A 1 to 2 year ban for that should be sufficient. 12 weeks for the drugs, based on the Barba example and another 1 year for the charity stuff.

2-3 years max in total IMO.

Jaya: Why you choosing that guy (Quinlan) to score first?

Simona: I’m marking him lol. If I let him.

Jaya: What does that mean? Oh he will be opposite you?

Simona: Yes.

JayaOhhhhh.

Simona: You think.

Jaya: Hmmm dangerous.

Simona: Yep.

Jaya: This is legit match-fixing now.

Mate the NRL has accepted he didnt fix. His punishment should be based on the findings at to his conduct, not some test message that may or may not be construed as a joke.

Simona didnt match up on Quinlan.

Simona was always a first class goose but he is being made a scapegoat for wide cultural problems in the NRL, not the the least of which the NRL's heavy reliance on gambling revenue.

Classic case of victim blaming.

He must of hid all this very well from his team mates..

I did like the tele's Part 3 grab I've seen on FB…Get my boobs done or I'll tell the NRL...

That makes a total of 3 boobs that got "done"…..... her 2 plus the biggest boob of them all, TimmySim.

Why say anything then??

The specifics she mentioned were hurtful to bring up and was going viral. The primary message of 'Simona is a clown' is fine.
 
@ said:
Well… Without knowing what the hell you're on about all I can suggest is you're wasting my time and yours

I thought I was fairly clear. Her very earnest FB post made my opinion of him very negative and the poor chick doesn't want it up anymore because it revealed some things she in retrospect regretted sharing. This is a 'discussion forum' so I felt it ok to share my opinion. But if you like I can delete my posts to make you feel better?

I will give you one snippet. After this all came out, last week he texted her 'I'm going to rugby anyway so this is all a win win for me'.

And yet the NRL and presumably every media outlet with a passing interest in the NRL has pored over every one of the games he bet on and has not been able to identify a single incident where he deliberately intervened to win a bet. So we're left with a few possibilities.

He's a great actor and managed to conceal his attempts at sabotage;
he got paranoid on game day and couldn't go through with it;
he was unlucky in that his deliberate attempts to bet on direct opponents was prevented by late positional switches;
he has no idea who he is supposed to be marking;
he forgot he was betting on the games by the time the game started.

None of them are particularly convincing really.

You're right.

There are really only 2 options.

He is the dumbest guy ever to walk the earth.

Or

There is more to it.

Point 2 for sure

Gambling addicts don't make $10 bets …...
 
What about 5K through the Pokies on a lazy Saturday…

The NRL bets are insignificant...just part of a pattern...
 
I've got a Facebook message from Tim simona asking me if I would like to bid on a signed jersey for camp quality charity :frowning: pretty sad to think he was keeping the money for himself

Does anyone actually believe he has a gambling addiction? I don't see any evidence. Just an opportunist who wanted to make some easy money.. Was obviously well thought out. Glad this saga is over now and our team might realise it's full potential without being held back by someone potentially helping our opposition every week.

Mate…if you cannot see the evidence i dunno what youre looking at?

He wanted to make easy money?
He was earning 6 figure sums....hed be getting 3 and maybe 4 figure sums for the jerseys.
Insane? yep.
Not normal? yep
Deception, lying, stealing, cheating, embezzlement, fraud....its all the hallmarks of a gambling addict.

This is insane behaviour, the denial of an addict is that for a while he sees nothing wrong with what hes doing....that probably passed him some time ago

Hes hit rock bottom now...I hope he gets the help he needs...fmd Matt Lodge is.

All of those things are the hallmarks of a criminal also, but you're right, going off the limited evidence we have he appears to have some sort of addiction, according to him. He still doesn't strike me as one though.. Is he bankrupt? Were friends and family worried about where all of his money was going? And are we suggesting that his NRL bets were a reflection of this addiction? Unlikely I'd think..

Yes he's on a large salary, so you'd think the bets would be larger for one, but secondly I don't know if addicts think out their gambling in such detail as betting a small amount on an outcome they have some sort of control over.

He's come out and said he's an addict so that's all we really have to go on.. I haven't seen all of the text messages and stuff. I don't know how good his word is though, he's already been caught out lying before.

Exactly my point Geo

If you bet hard , you bet hard all the time , like any addiction you don't go softly softly , sometimes and all out the next

Something doesn't add up , probably another account we don't know about ….yet

Well we do know cause Simona has admitted to exactly that…
 
The part about taking drugs on a mad Monday 3 years ago is very disturbing, the club needs to address this one first.
 
I dont care about gambling advertising. It doesnt MAKE you bet.
I dont buy for one second thats all the bets he did.
If you shared coke on a bender with team mates, lets see if you are truly remorseful and dob them in so they can get help too. (I suspect he will hide behind the great aussie tradition of not being a dibber dobber).

If you are TRULY remorseful, do the right thing. Pay back money, get 'team mates' help.

Where was the management, coaches, club captain whilst all this was going on in the last few years, the drug use by multiple players (allegedly) and gambling. Is this why the current coach and new management are trying to change the culture, even though some on this very forum are calling them out on it?

More questions than answers to be honest. I have NO Interest or care for yet another common POS.

Probably only admitted to what he thought they knew about

Could of quite easily had an account that the GF didn't know about …..

When you lose from 16/17 doesn't that sound strange , even to you

These bets could of quite easily been a ruse to something far bigger

If betting on these games is a result of a gambling addiction, why bet on games you're playing in - it's too risky. There are many other games to bet on. Surely the only reason you'd bet on your own game is if you tried to, or thought you could have some sort of influence on the result.
 
Well obviously Tim is not a Rocket Surgeon…

The NRL investigation sees no correlation with match-fixing on the bets Simona placed...
 
Exactly Paws..it's not Rocket Surgery to figure out his problems run much deeper than a lazy $10 on a FTS..
