Betting Scandal

St Helens are to carry out their own inquiry into an alleged betting scandal involving two of their high-profile players.

Great Britain stars Sean Long and Martin Gleeson are accused by a national newspaper of winning almost £1,000 each after betting Saints would lose to Bradford by at least nine points on Easter Monday.

St Helens lost the match 54-8 after coach Ian Millward left out 11 players, including Long, from the team that played Wigan three days earlier.
