Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3638657, member: 8215"] The money getting made is via legit gambling organisations... who then pay the NRL a % of the takings. This has 100% been Vlandys' main priority since getting the gig, his history was in horse racing which only exists as an avenue of gambling (would anyone watch it if you couldn't bet on it?). The refs aren't going rogue, or acting in isolation in order to affect these games for their own shadowy purposes. It is very clear that they are just puppets acting on a directive that they are given. The refs that best follow those directives are given the higher profile gigs, that's their motivation. We've known for years how they do it whilst magically making the stat sheets look innocuous after 80 minutes, it's become an artform - watching everyone pre-empt the square-up, the early tackle (read: useless) 6-agains, and the 2-3 tries that inevitably came in the second half just shows that most on here are on to it.
