I love The Sun. I haven't read it for years, I forgot how entertaining it it.

Suggesting that the game has many cheats-

TODAY we reveal how rugby league's cheats deliberately fix matches to pull off massive betting coups

Backtracking, stating there is only one cheat-

There is no suggestion any of Leaf's team-mates behaved improperly or knew he had bet on his side to lose

...and my absolute favourite, maybe there is another cheat, but we're not sure-

A senior rugby league official (The Sun knows his name) took a more-than-usual interest in a fixture where Toulouse carried a 48-point handicap



I have a feeling that if they knew his name, it would be in there.

You can see the attraction if you are on low wages and RL was your big chance to make some money.

Not condoning, but you can see the attraction

I have never bought or indeed read one page of THE SUN since Hillsborough.
A nasty rag !

They had a 5 minute debate on this yesterday on H&J on talksport.
Martin Kelner from the Indy was on talking about it, worried me alot as their so called RL expert kept talking about Shane Long and the other betting scandal a few years ago.

I don't know why anybody bothers to read the tabloid press. Apart from I they're all full of bollox, misinformation and deliberately provocative and emotion language.
