Paul Crawley

Do you think that the time is coming where we have to address that and maybe make it a blanket gambling ban for the integrity of the game?

But they're hard, though, Paul.

Mate, like, you go back just to Origin 1 and the Ponga send-off, right?

And some people are already using that as evidence.

You've got 50% of people that will say he shouldn't have been sent off, and you've got another 50% that say he should have been sent off.

I know you and I both believe he should have been sent off, yet in the Courier Mail the next day, I think they voted...

Ashley Klein, New South Wales, is the man of the match.

You make a valid point there because it's an easy fix to come up with, you know, giving the public enough information to say, okay, it's all legit.

Okay?

Sometimes you get there and you watch games sometimes and you feel like that, don't you?

It's a big thing, isn't it?

Like you talk about why we all sit there and we love rugby league so much and ultimately we don't love the game because of entertainment.

We love the game because of the game.

Because of what sport's about.

Sport brings passion.

It's supposed to be about an even contest, two teams getting an even crack.

Sometimes you don't feel like that these days.

It'll be interesting to see how that plays out, though, because I get the feeling, like you'd mentioned earlier, I'm not sure the Herald's playing by the same guidelines at the moment.

And I think, obviously, there will be more to come about this story, and I guess we'll just wait and see.

But we keep going back to the fact that his betting, allegedly at the moment, is all about horse racing and not rugby league games.
