Can you bet on yourself to catch the ball ?
seriously that was a shock and very bad news
as his season is over.

Its a strange one this imo, if a part time lad likes a bet and bets on RL games not involving himself and has not been given any inside info is that a problem?
I suppose you can get info from other players at other clubs but that happens in racing all the time.

such a shame for the lad. let's hope Tommy Saxton signs for the season

Agreed.He is such a nice guy as well,he spent an hour teaching my 9 year old son how to
play fifa on xbox in Toulouse.The statement suggests Halifax will stick by him which is good.

Well this news put me right off my Fishers Pork Pie , whats the Worrier playing at ?

Does seem tough when a player has a bet on a game he hasn't competed in however in this instance it seems Rob has been naive in the extreme as I believe he has betted on matches in which he has played in . Although cleared by the RFL on anything inappropriate it does leave him open to all sorts of accusations so a ban is right. I suppose it is right and that no player should bet on a sport he is involved in because a player could have inside information on injuries etc. Damn shame mind you as Rob would always be in my side .

Gutted for Rob! Rules are rules and I'm sure he's devastated. Great to see the club standing by him. Hopefully he can keep himself fit and integrated with the team and back stronger than ever next year.

Shame, hopefully Saxton will be a better bet.

I do not think Rob will play for us again.
I take no pleasure in saying that.

Well said, fully agree.

Reading between the lines, seems he can't train at the club or be involved as a team member.
