Regardless what people think of Gallop, he did say on the footy show that the NRL is conducting ZERO investigations into any player for any betting related scandal and that the emails and sms's going around are baseless.

I am inclined to believe this

The only thing way can take as ABSOLUTE regarding Gallop is that no storm players or officials are involved.
Otherwise the punishments would have been instant & 'prejudice'  :twisted:

Gallop couldn't handle another big scandal.
Really, the Storm not playing for points just really opened the door for this sort of thing.
Probably happens anyway but we were either in the comp or out of it.

The biggest one for me, that I raised an eyebrow over, was the Storm v Manly game at Etihad. Didn't some bludger put $50k on the Manly Toyota comp side into their first grade side winning?
He collected $250k. Who in their right mind would of done that?
We were unstoppable at home, coming off a loss, Manly were struggling, our NYC side was doing ok IIRC, so wtf???

Then Cam misses an easy conversion, drops twice from dummy half and has the worst game of his life.
I'm not questioning our skipper here because he may have just had too much on his mind but anyway that's just me being suspicious.

I may be living under a rock here but how did one of our players get implicated in this.  Is it just another way to kick us while we are down.  Been googling and only found names, not how they were involved.  was it the one game that is under investigation or games we played too.  P.M me if needed but I just cant believe this can be true.

Heard Cam on SEN today, said he didn't know anything about the scandal.

It's hard to know who to believe.

A couple of issues with this post:
Firstly: if you're going to quote the content of an article, please credit it appropriately.
Secondly: please be very careful with content you actually post here - other people's libelous statements can still attract censure to the owner of this site.

Links are fine, but please be careful what you post.
