Ashley Klein is a corrupt dud

Personally I'm not too sure that it's really anyone's business if the NRL have investigated and cleared him considering the legal element of it. I don't believe an NRL ref should necessarily have their dirty laundry aired to all and sundry if it does not directly impact their line of work.

By typing just enough to save their backsides, you're admitting there's probably not really anything there.

I'm not suggesting he definitely did not, plenty of organisations cover shit up. What I am suggesting is that until it can be proven that he did, I am not going to crucify a guy that experienced something that millions of people experience. It's kinda why gambling ads have their spiel of gamble responsibly.
They investigated him in 2019, and he didn't exclude himself until 2023. Not saying he's done anything wrong, but a lot can happen in 4 years.

That's good.

Thank you for the entertainment this evening. There's no point retorting, you'll believe anything.

You're most welcome, please come back any time you wish to have some rational thought injected into your life.
Or when you can provide any sort of evidence to your claim. Don't know the guy, don't care about the guy, so again, if you or anyone, any whistleblower, any fragment of truth is aired that supports this position can come to light, i'll call him a dirty cheating scumbag that should be fired into the sun.

until such time, i'll happily live my life without raging against hypotheticals.
 
Genuinely don't think the NRL care, especially since it was under a previous administration (who even then were incredibly soft on Cronulla, Parramatta and Manly despite rorting the cap).
If he was betting on games and somebody found out they absolutely would care. Its risking their business.
 
It’s not really anybody else’s business if it’s a loss apart from people close to him.

Oh please.

Once an addict, always an addict.

It's like letting dracula being in charge of the blood bank.

I don't think it's that outlandish of a hypothetical that the lead official in the sport has a gambling problem and he adjudicates the way that he does.

He was overruling the bunker not even 2 weeks ago. That decision directly determined the result of the game.

Why wasnt he blowing the 6 agains for NSW and helping them up the field from the start if he wanted them to win?

Or let me guess? He actually only had a bet on that he needed NSW to comeback from 20 down after halftime. Thats got to be it.

You are a cooker.

They kept dropping the ball.

I think you can be critical of how he refs without assuming hes corrupt and betting on games. The people that think the origin call is rubbish is just going to use this as fuel to reaffirm what they already thought.
For the record I thought it was a shit call, but im not making the (il)logical leap that it was borne out of him chasing gambling losses

Like.. maybe hes just a shit ref but let's be honest, does anyone rate any ref? Is every ref corrupt and betting? Who was the last that was unanimously agreed was a great ref and never endured any controversy or scrutiny over their calls?

Every single team’s fanbase hates Klein. It’s pure incompetence.
