doubt it. Why do you think we are put on sunday free to air all the time? Were popukar to watch so they want us to reman for sure.
 
Does anyone know of any main stream media who reported on the Teddy/Parra fake news? My daughter is teaching and one of the topics she has is how social media rumours can lead to reports in mainstream media - this is like manna from heaven for this topic. Any links would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe PM them so as not to go too far OT.

It went at least as far as being used in an interview with Cleary on Talkin Sport yesterday afternoon.

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.

EDIT: Specifically talking about the one posted on LU not the obviously joking one that McD posted above…

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.

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.

I'm no legal expert but truly, you can't go after Lurker if he posts something that is defamatory and becomes bigger news?

The papers publish stuff all the time that is wrong and critical, they obviously have their editors and lawyers to watch over it, but they issue corrections all the time.

You are genuinely telling me that for all the rumours on the Tedesco story to date, Tedesco's team would hunt down an online user on two separate forums, formally and physically connect them, file with his ISP to obtain his IP and then details, that the IP would be compelled by a court to comply and release user info, then they would take the user to court for a lie, spend a few weeks/months trying the case, sue for damages from some internet nobody with average assets?

In that period of time there'd be another 50 rubbish rumours coming up.

I can appreciate the difference between "I am going to do some trolling" versus "Moley is hearing", but if they are ultimately untrue, why can't you go after Moley for posting defamatory comments?
What's the difference truly between two lies?

Nelson what do you say is the imputation in ttbis runour that is capable of being defamatory?

As someone who has worked in this area of the law, I cant see it. The test is not whether it would improve Tedesco's reputation but rather whether it would harm it. I cant see any basis on which it could be contended that this runour harms Teddy's reputation.

A bit of a stretch.

Greenberg recently made a comment that was along the lines of enjoying the sideshow that is the contract comings and goings during the season. Couldn't believe it.

Of course he would enjoy it. It keeps the media's spotlight off of what a pathetic job Greenburg the little trouser snake and his useless mates are doing at NRL HQ. The City/Country debacle is a case in point.

Wonder how Teddy would feel if Taylor was assistant coach at the Roosters.

Don't think he would mind. As far as I'm aware he's a fan of Taylor.
 
Teddy is a big fan of JT, he will have no issue with him at the Roosters. Good move for JT good assistant coach but not a very good head coach
 
Just got a message from my mate who works at the Roosters that he's sorry for what's about to happen in the next 10 minutes. Guessing that's official announcement

I would think so, but we will be a far better team overall but with not as good fullback
 
Gone.
The Sydney Roosters have today announced the marquee signing of the reigning Dally M Fullback of the Year, James Tedesco.

24-year-old Tedesco has signed a four-year deal with the Roosters commencing in 2018.

“James is a tremendously exciting talent whose signature we are pleased to have secured and we look forward to welcoming him to the Roosters in 2018,” said Sydney Roosters CEO, Joe Kelly.

Tedesco has played 78 NRL matches to date. He made his State of Origin debut with New South Wales in 2016 and represented NSW City on two occasions (2013, 2015). He has also represented the Prime Minister’s XIII on one occasion (2016) and played three Tests for Italy (2013).
