NRL betting markets are also framed on whether a player will score a try at any time and margin betting is often decided by conversion attempts given to non-goalkickers in the dying minutes when the result is beyond doubt.
Papenhuyzen described the threats as"annoying"and said his only focus was on winning for his team.
It's unacceptable,vile and abusive behaviour and Australia's licensed online wagering operators won't stand for it

The abuse and threats often extend to a player's family.
The wagering industry said it would cancel any accounts linked to people who are found to have engaged in such behaviour and will work with professional sporting codes and police to track down culprits.
"It's unacceptable,vile and abusive behaviour and Australia's licensed online wagering operators won't stand for it,"Responsible Wagering Australia's chief executive officer Brent Jackson said.

"Player safety and sporting integrity are of primary concern,and we've drawn a line in the sand that says,clearly,'if you engage in abusive behaviour,we don't want you on our wagering platforms'.
"We will work to immediately ban identified individuals who act in a hateful or threatening manner towards sporting identities.
"We have a long-standing commitment to maintaining integrity in sport and Australia's online betting operators take a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of harassment,bullying and abusive behaviour."
The NRL earlier this year cancelled all betting on its Dally M awards after last year's coach of the year scandal,which involved people with knowledge of Craig Bellamy's win allegedly betting on him.
But the code still has dozens of betting markets on each match,with losing punters often ranting at the athletes involved. The problem has been exacerbated during the COVID-19 shutdown,with many punters at home accessing betting websites and apps.
"Threats and harassment of players is absolutely not on,and we felt compelled to call it out,"an executive from one major Australian wagering operator said."Anyone that thinks this sort of behaviour is reasonable is not the sort of customer we want to have on our books."
