NRL 2022: Match review committee boss Luke Patten investigated over gambling company video comments

Luke Patten is the match review committee boss. He appeared in a video produced by a bookmaker. Pattens is an NRL contractor and receives a small fee for his work on the committee. The NRL prohibits employees from gambling on rugby league matches. The company is permitted to bet on NRL matches, but it is not allowed to endorse the code. NRL's official betting partner is Sportsbet. There is no suggestion Patton was involved in any integrity breach. It is only a contract role. His previous work in radio media has been vetted. An NRL spokesperson said the contract roles are not the primary source of employment for these contractors.
