Yeah total sham that they can force people to answer questions. They'll just ask 1000 questions in roundabout ways to make sure whoever they want to incriminate will basically say enough things to build a case against them, whether they're innocent or not. Instead of you know, actually doing their job and finding evidence.

Match fixing is a serious offence, but so is the taking of performance enhancing drugs
In both cases one or more people on a team is attempting to influence the outcome, illegally
I applaud the life ban stance (if it's actually implemented) but why a life ban for one offence and 2 years (or 3 weeks) for the other?

Because one affects betting, and that's all the NRL cares about these days.

Because gambling is an addiction. Once it has you, once you're in so deep that you have to fix a match to get yourself out of trouble, you're already tarnished and can't be trusted.
As opposed to professional athletes with a competitive edge and a win-at-all-costs drive. Once they have been caught once for cheating or bad play they always see the error of their ways and reform completely. Like that Sharks player who tried to rip the stitches out of another guy's head. Or that NSW Origin player who punched someone in the head unprovoked. Or that Cronulla player who pulled out the racist jokes to put the opposition off. Or that guy from the Shire that plead guilty to taking a banned substance. Or the one who was dobbed in by a third-party sponsor for receiving cash payments outside of the cap. Totally reformed.

If they've got any brains, they'll run with the "I'm innocent" line, get it put off until December and then quietly plead guilty and make it go away.

That only works for less serious charges, such as cocaine possession.

IMO the NRL are riding the Sharks and Raiders fairytales harder.
