I wasn't, you never mentioned him.

Banned for the rest of the season.

Are you suggesting some of this stuff is not bu11

Anyone for Ben Roberts?

I think you're being rather defensive on this one. The question didn't require that the source was named, and could easily have been answered with 'my mate Dave knows someone at the club', my Aunty Jean is in Tom Briscoe's mam's knitting circle', or, 'I read it on the website of the Sydney Morning Herald'.

It was not about tbh more a general think that had crept in.

That would be a great signing Sheldon, have you heard any whispers ?

Appears he's not flavour of the month at the mo. But he was well thought of before he left the doggies.

Always like Ben Roberts, surprised he has not done more in the NRL.

Shocking player hope we go nowhere near him as he is basically the Polynesian version of Horne with tattoos.

I think it's a fair question though. When considering how much credence to give a certain rumour, a little knowledge as to the source of the rumour goes a long way - even if the source isn't explicitly stated. For example, if (as in this case) the rumour has appeared in a newspaper, you could quite easily think it's more likely to be true than if it had been overheard in a pub.

Just heard the Danny Brough one again! Could that happen??

Maybe so, certainly the paper thing makes sense I see that example. Personally if I hear something which I believe has some substance then I would post it but certainly wouldn't say who told me no matter who asked me. It's not really anyone else's business tbh, they can choose to believe or not. 99% of rumours on here never come to light anyway.

Well lets get away from the mod bashing and go back to rumours and heres a cracker....
Paul Cooke recons Danny Brough is nailed on for FC and thats from the horses mouth last night!!!! but big money
AND were also looking at Stuart Fielden on a 1 year deal

Danny Brough would be a brilliant signing!
6. Seymour
7. Brough

Looks a great combination to me!

signing Danny Brough would be awesome. I've said this before but I would sign him over Rangi Chase because of his kicking game

i think we still need a specialist FB having seen the difference it made having McKinnon at the beginning of the season. I'm undecided on Horne but my big worry is if he could stay fit and free of injury

I'm not saying you should say [iwho[/i it is, just that it's quite legitimate for someone to ask the [inature[/i of your source. You could say, for example, that you know someone within the club, without saying Peter Gentle (or whoever) told you x, y, or z.

A person can disagree with another poster who just happens to be a mod without it being 'mod bashing'.

Can't see the Brough thing coming off. Stranger things have happened, I suppose, but it still seems quite unlikely to me.

Hey i have no problem with that but with this particular "mod" your going on and on and on and on and on and are now ever trying to school folk into what they should say when posting to suit your own remit.
you made your point, you feel better now lets move on with the thread eh???

Says in paper today giants have offered brough a 5 year deal . Maybe it's to scare hull of or if he turns it down they'll probably listen to offers for him . Can't see them keeping him if he turns a new deal like that Down .

lets be honest if they are offering him 5 yrs he would be made to say no to them unless he is unhappy there

Maybe he does not want to play under the new coach coming in?

Also no Nathan Brown after this season and Kevin Brown as well...Brough may be seeing the team splitting already and maybe thinks Hudds have had thier time.

Paul Anderson stepping up from reserve coach isnt it.

Didnt he just sign a 4 year contract last season ?
