We get told not to spread rumours on here and then someone mentions match fixing

Another thing aswell, if people are saying leave it, then why was it thrown to the media and they were then allowed to publish it everywhere! People are now going to be curious and wonder if it had an impact on past games naturally!

It’s not match fixing, but I think we should leave this here and let the RFL deal with it appropriately.

Exactly

Could be whistle blowing.

Two things -
the reports suggest it was an incident that happened before the weekend of the Leeds-Hull game; if it was match-fixing or something like that there is no way he would have been allowed to take control of another game.

the fact that he wasn't given a game last weekend seemed to be missed somewhat but for him to miss this weekend as well was already beginning to raise questions so the RFL couldn't ignore the matter any further.

With things in the media having caused a number of celebrities and people to take their own lives in recent weeks / years, I’m going to lock this thread.
