Names of most players caught betting to be kept secret

The majority of officials and players caught betting on rugby league games are unlikely to be named and shamed when the NRL hands down sanctions this week.

The governing body is completing its investigations into eight players and several officials who have contravened the code of conduct by gambling on matches. Players who have committed more serious breaches will be suspended and will be publicly named. However, most are expected to escape with a reprimand.

Players from Manly and the Gold Coast were among those investigated by the game's integrity unit, which found no evidence of widespread abuse of betting rules. Most wagers were small - mostly $5 or less - and there is no suggestion of match fixing. One high-profile player, who placed a small bet, is among those caught but is not expected to be outed.

There is no evidence of spot or match-fixing but the NRL, which hasn't had an official betting partner since it severed ties with Tabcorp in 2012, still wants to send a message the behaviour will not be tolerated. By making the announcement this week the issue won't overshadow the final game of the marquee State of Origin series.

The NRL has taken the unprecedented step of partially funding a feature film, Broke, as part of its educational messages to players. The Australian production - which stars Claire van der Boom, Steve Le Marquand and Steve Bastoni - deals with gambling issues and profits will be donated to the Men of League foundation.

Tony McGrath has been appointed as Peter Gregg's replacement on the Australian Rugby League Commission. A former partner at KPMG, McGrath is the co-founder, partner and co-chairman of restructuring and advisory firm McGrathNicol. He is also on the boards of QBE Insurance (Australia) Limited, the National Foundation for Medical Research and Innovation as well as Special Olympics Australia.

“I am looking forward to working with my fellow commissioners and the NRL senior management team to assist them on what has clearly been a successful journey since the formation of the Commission in November 2012,” McGrath said.

ARLC Chairman John Grant added: “Off the field, the commission remains focused on ensuring rugby league has the right governance and commercial frameworks in place to keep growing as a professional sport.

“We are delighted to have Tony McGrath agree to join the commission.  He has advised on a number of high profile corporate restructures and will bring valuable experience to the business of rugby league."
