Gorden Tallis

I think your name might have been.

Chris Barrett.

Chris Barrett.

And then obviously in the Courier Mail as well followed.

That's where I read it, that he'd had some gambling issues many years ago and it had been brought to light on Friday.

Danny Wilder's article this morning suggested that he should be stood down for game two because of the optics of the way it looks.

I know Dave Riccio has come out and he's defended Klein and saying that Klein isn't and won't be the last person in rugby league to have a problem with gambling.

which I absolutely agree.

Society, everybody has addiction.

Everybody has different vices.

And there's no judgment at all on that.

But I do want to have a chat to you because there is some validity around what Danny suggested as well because of the optics for this game, which is the pinnacle of our game.

Do you believe that Ashley Cline should be stood down for it?

I think that depends on Ashley Cline and his state of mind.

I think if Ashley Cline's in the right state of mind to refer in, he wants to do it, he should do it because they've given him the job and to now take it off him, Dobbo, I think would do more damage to him

in a moment in his life when, look, we've got to stress this addiction, this gambling, these gambling losses were from a long time ago, right?

Correct.

It's not recent, right?

And he's had treatment for gambling issues.

For a few years onward from 2019, right?
