NRL promises life bans for any players or officials found guilty of match-fixing claims - as police investigate two games 'involving Manly, Parramatta and South Sydney in 2015'

The NRL has warned it will 'ban for life' any players or officials found guilty of match-fixing as police launch an investigation into the results of two games last year.

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg revealed on Thursday that members of the code's integrity unit have recently been working closely with police from the Organised Crime Squad.

'We will ban anyone found guilty for life,' Mr Greenberg said.

'There is nothing more important that the integrity of our sport.'

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg has vowed to ban for life any player or official found guilty of match-fixing allegations. His comments come as NSW Police have begun an investigation into alleged match fixing with reports suggesting two matches involving Manly from 2015 under question

'This is a threat that exists for all sport in this country, and globally.

'The response from the NRL will be very clear, if the allegations are peroven then we will ban anyone found guilty for life.'

NSW Police have confirmed the organised crime squad are looking into matches.

Early reports suggest two 2015 matches are at the centre of the investigation - Manly's round-16, 20-8 loss to South Sydney, and Manly's 20-16 loss to Parramatta in round 24.

The Australian Crime Commission warned in their February 2013 'darkest day in Australian sport' press conference that criminal figures were possibly infiltrating sporting clubs, with the danger that they could manipulate results.

The current investigation comes just two weeks after three players - Corey Norman, Junior Paulo and James Segeyaro - were officially warned against consorting with criminal figures.

There is no suggestion the current investigation is linked to their warning.

Detective Inspector Wayne Walpole, in charge of the state's charter against organised crime infiltrating sport, told News Corp Australia on Thursday such infiltration had already begun at clubs.

'I'm not saying corruption or match fixing has happened, but I'm saying the infiltration is there and that infiltration can lead to the compromise of the sports of the athlete,' he said.

There was no suggestion of match fixing in Williams' case.
