Three Cowboys players, who are to remain nameless for the
time being for legal reasons have been named in material obtained by NSW State
Crime Command detectives. However, we have good information that the three
players are in fact Willie Mason, Aaron Payne and Cowboys Captain Jonathan
Thurston. Bulldogs player, Ryan Tandy is on notice and is set to be sacked from
his club after the Grand Final.
It is alleged that the Cowboys players all face similar
fates in that they are to receive life bans from the NRL following the Grand
Final after the Police have traced money back to several accounts and after
viewing video footage.
According to video footage, Payne pointed to the posts to
take the 2 points after Tandy had given away a penalty for his side. Others
involved are ex-player Hassan Saleh, who lives with Ryan Tandy, Thurston’s
manager Sam Ayoub and John Elias. Elias has already been in trouble for a
betting scandal in the early nineties and is being questioned by police along
with Andrew Johns for this incident.
