Whitsunday Warriors

are you sure you scored 1046 Jolcon. The Waikiks scored 1046. What is the chance that two teams with different personnel could achieve the same score?</blockquote>

I'm just following you chels because I know those Wakiki Moo Cows know how to have fun!

Actually, I have no idea. Clearly our timekeeper was drunk at the time.

 

Not even over, but it has been a disastrous weekend for the Warriors and we will be lucky if we register 800. Although going through a building phase the lack of a playing ruckman and the merry-go-round of donuts means we will have to cop some early losses while soaking up the island lifestyle.

Will some heads have to roll? Perhaps we can trade our way into a better position?

Maybe we should try to get Acker?

Well the coach of the Battlers might be coaching himself out of a job. His team changes this week have been an epic fail. They guy he dropped scored 160+ and the guy he brought in didn't make it to 50.

That's Voss-like.</blockquote>

THE ORFFA is investigating whether recent plunges on "exotic" wagers were prompted by clubs leaking information about match strategies and team selections.
Leading corporate bookmakers are convinced that recent betting trends show that ORFFA clubs continue to leak sensitive information, despite the threat of heavy fines.

In the past month, at least three players have been solidly backed to kick the first goal of the game in advance of team lists being named on match day, triggering an investigation by the AFL integrity office.

In three separate games, Brisbane's Daniel Merrett, Hawthorn's Brent Guerra and Brisbane's Matt Maguire started in the forward line against expectations. Maguire and Merrett are defenders and Guerra is a midfielder-defender.

The ORFFA yesterday declined to confirm an investigation was under way. ORRFA general manager of football operations Wayne Kerr commented that the league policy was not to comment on integrity issues.

"That is not to say, though, that you should assume these sorts of matters are not examined," Mr Kerr said. "We have undertaken a number of steps in recent years to protect the integrity of the game to allow us to investigate wherever we have concerns."

Bookmaker Alan Eskander has previously mentioned unusual betting on Merrett and Guerra.

"Brent Guerra was backed from &#36;101 in to &#36;26 to kick the first goal (in a round seven game against Port Adelaide) and he did start up forward and actually kicked the first point," Mr Eskander said. "Same thing in the Lions-GWS game (in the same round), where regular Brisbane full-back Daniel Merrett went forward at the start of the game. He was &#36;101 in to &#36;15. Clearly punters are getting good mail about line-ups, or the coach of the warriors has no regard for Michael Voss' coaching ability."

It was confirmed yesterday that the ORFFA had been made aware of the unusual bets and an investigation was under way.

The ORFFA has been a leader of betting integrity in sport and appointed former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt as its integrity services manager in 2008. In April this year, Butt appointed former teammate Mohammed Asif as intelligence co-ordinator in an expanded integrity services department. Butt was later heard to comment "Asif he would cheat", although some are wondering if the absence of a comma in the narrated text was unfortunate or quoted as said.

Mr Kerr said the ORFFA had significant powers under the player contracts including access to telephone records, computer details and bank accounts, however bar tabs at the Tiki bar were not monitored.

 

Y'all having fun in my thread here?

 

Welcome to Hook Island! We are sure you will have a good time because this weekend is kinda special in the Whitsundays.

I suppose there's no need for geek pride on Whitsunday when the Warriors are out of town.

1st away game TiB. How does it feel? Are the facilities up to a high enough standard?

 

We have low expectations, but have offered free spa passes to the WAGS if their hubby/boyfriend can get a ton. Bound to have a positive effect. Our only concern is that Hornsy is minding the Tiki Bar.

 

Tried to have a chat to Geoff Geichen about what the umpires expect from our players during the match at Far Kew, but afraid he wasn't very forthcoming.

LOL. Just discovered Tapscott and Cornelius are actually playing this week, so instead of naming them on the field we are copping two donuts. This has quickly become known throughout the ORFFL as the "Whitsunday Way" of playing footy.

Watch out. Next week the coach might be sober.

 

Depends on who we play chels. There are a few derogatory cocktail comments out there and their owners will suffer accordingly. However, there is also a whole bunch of nice people who appreciate the finer things in life, so when we meet them the whiteboard in the change rooms will have but one word, FUN!

 

Speaking of concentration, apparently being away from the creature comforts of the island + a few incentives had the desired (?) effect. The Warriors had a win. Good on you lads. Unfortunately I was stoned and I missed it, having been fed a cane toad for lunch by the Far Kew Frogs.

Proving once again that the old adage still holds true:

Nice Llama

 

Wow! A visit from the midnight stalker to the Tiki Bar. We are impressed.
