Has signed for the south sydney!!!!!
I was hoping when i read the article some weeks back about them wanting all four brothers that we may try hold out and see how they go at first grade, but unfortunately not.
Tom is apparently happy staying with the bulls

Source?

Newbie comes up with riveting piece of (mis?)information............Mmmmm

Is it just me or is this a regular pattern? Trollety trollety troll..............?

The rumours in oz are that he's already signed

He has indeed already signed , thats why i posted this topic!!
And for all those who think "Newbie comes up with riveting piece of (mis?)information............Mmmmm" you will be eating your words , but i suppose your all entitled to your opinion and if you want to believe this is false that is up to you.

Clearly you are not aware that you have to get certain pieces of information approved and checked by certain individuals on here before you are allowed to make the information public.

haha apologies , at least i know for next time eh

If you look at his twitter page it looks like he is going.

Am I missing something here, but what have you seen on his twitter that leads you to the above conclusion?

I don't think there is anything either

Glad to be walking away from this f**ker ie snow. Come on it's not that hard to work out!!!

He was commenting on a Photo of the hill covered in snow, presumably the one they had been running up. Bit of a leap to say that if proof that he is off to aus.

Personally I read it as him not having to run up the hill again as it was the end of training for the day.

OR. Perhaps he was meaning walking away from the Earth and he's actually off to be an inter-galactic police officer, stopping alien crafts from getting too close to our atmosphere and scaring folk. Come in it's not that hard to work out!!!

What ever he means by his twitter page one thing for sure is he will soon be enjoying the aussie summer.
I wish him well and cant blame the lad for wanting to move having seen what a star sam has become and way of life he is living , but i just wish we could of kept the lad and watch him develop like sam!!!!

Someone with minimal posting history, starting a thread with a significant-sounding statement or "rumour" that lacks any backup whatsoever, is unlikely to be believed as it stands. Regardless of whether he is correct or not.

Long history on here and elsewhere of trolls and [iagents provocateur[/i using this tactic just to wind up the locals.

I could start a thread saying Ken Morrison had agreed to pay for a new stadium for Bulls and a huge legal fund for our next scrap with Leeds. But without something in support, anyone would be a fool to take that as fact.

Maybe the Original Poster could provide some back-up for his statement, to provide some credibility and demonstrate he is neither a troll nor an [iagent provocateur[/i?

Haha
I don't blame you for thinking the above and no I won't be providing any information to "back up" my claim , however I do hope when this is made public that my future posts may be given more credit : )

You wouldn't be the 1st 'newbie' to come on here and reveal some insider knowledge that eventually turns out to be bang on the money.

However 99 times out of 100 it turns out be utter ballocks. So where did you hear this? Is it from a mate at the pub who once knew an ex player who has read a few Aussie newspapers or is it something more credible?

I've had a look at some of the Aussie press (mainly looking for anything Orford, but would have pricked up at a Burgess being mentioned) and I've found nothing (other than the Orford saga goes on........).

If I'm honest I'd have given it more credence if George were out of contract, but he isn't of course. We all know the brothers went to Australia over the off season and there were plenty of rumours flying about then. IF he had intended walking out on his contract he would have done it then imo, and, of course, he would have to get a release (which we've heard nothing about) before signing for anyone else.

No i bet i'm not and for that reason i don't blame some people for taking this with a pinch of salt, however it is the truth.
If i was to come out and name my friend of information , i wouldn't be a good friend now would i and future info would not be given

Well no, but you did still blab!

If this news is soon to be confirmed I hope the club have some good reasons for letting him go now.

I'd like to think we have agreed a new long term deal with him but allowed him a year over there on loan as a condition but it seems unlikely. If he has gone for good it caps a bit of a miserable off season for retaining our top youngsters.

If he goes his donated money should be given to Rangi Chase.

According to sportsnewsfirst.com.au website looks likely that george has gone but on a 1yr loan and remains a bulls player. So OP was only partially right although whether george comes back remains to be seen.

Well I hope he enjoys the experience, but I have to admit I'll be disappointed if this is yet another one of our junior players that is leaving.
