Bulldogs players questioned over scandal

Detectives have reportedly interviewed up to 20 Bulldogs players over a potential
betting scandal involving a match between the North Queensland Cowboys and the
Canterbury club.
The players spoke with police for up to an hour on Tuesday in relation to the
allegations surrounding the round 24 clash in August, the Nine Network reported.
NSW State Crime Command was unavailable to confirm the report but, when asked what
had occurred during the police interview, player Bryson Goodwin told the network:
"They just asked us a few general questions about it, just doing their job".
"No one's done anything wrong ... so we just let them know we've got nothing to hide."
He also said the rumours had been hard on the team.
"It's lucky that it happened at the end of the year, `cause it would have been a lot
of stress on the team."
A lawyer for Ben Roberts declined to comment, saying he had been instructed by the
club not to give media interviews.
Rumours circulated last month alleging four NRL players were involved in a plan for
North Queensland to kick a penalty goal as the first scoring play in the match
against the Canterbury Bulldogs.
Police are investigating the unusual betting activity stemming from that match, but
have said no time limit will be put on any findings.
