Hearing strong mail that Tedesco is weighing up an offer from …
...
The ARU and Waratahs. Which is causing the signing delay. They need someone like him as the code struggles for relevance and are offering him huge huge money.

I am also receiving strong mail that Geo hates me.
While it is funny seeing the low standards of "journalism" these days I would strongly advise against anyone else going out and starting baseless rumours like this. The very fact that they can be picked up and widely disseminated by hack journalists is dangerous in terms of legal consequences (i.e. potential civil actions on behalf of the people nominated in the rumours). Please do not do it.

Mate, with a 50% strike rate you should definitely be working for the tele, you'd be their best writer and tell the least fibs!

Geo how come you have a full stop at the end of your username? Were you afraid that if we read it we would be left wondering what came next?
I like them.

They're pretty good. I like then in my strong mail particularly because I wouldn't be able to tell where to pause reading when I get the HOT TIPS and STRONG MAIL from sources that CANNOT BE NAMED.

Ironically he seems happier now that he can express how angry he is!

No surprise that he is blowing his hot air somewhere else.

Don't be such a buzz-kill. You really reckon someone is going to go after an anonymous forum poster for a rumour/lie that hits the public domain? Esp if it's not specifically defamatory and/or does not contain allegations of illegal behaviour?
Does this mean people can't write stuff any more about Roosters doing deals in parking lots with brown paper bags?
I can't see what Tacky did being anything different to Ali or Lurker or 5th Tackle or Sports360 or any other of the nuffy nobody online puff social media rumour mongers.
The fact that it's picked up traction and hit even the radios… just pure genius gold. Stryker called BS in LU but it was still realistic enough, dangled just enough juicy carrots and fit Tedesco's MO enough to gain serious traction. And it does such a tremendous job of highlighting just why you can't trust everything in the media, especially the lower you go in the food chain.
Trust the club's official statements, nothing else. Or as the X-Files says, Trust No-one.

Back on topic please.

Ali/Lurker etc. do not leave clear electronic trails showing that they have just completely made up false rumours for trolling purposes. I'm not sure you appreciate how broad the concept of defamation is. Do you think this rumour would improve the reputation of Tedesco in the eyes of the public?
People do all sorts of things to protect their reputation and there have definitely been cases where people have been pursued for posts made on internet forums in the past. Funny as it may be, it's not worth the risk. You can think I'm a buzz-kill all you like, I'm just trying to warn people away from trouble they may not even appreciate they could be getting themselves into.
