Josh Addo Carr Contract Discussion

[Geo]

For what it’s worth JAC has offers from tigers and sharks. Offers are inclusive of 2020 if storm will release him. If he signs with sharks, xerri is off to the roosters. Storm even though publically have said they won’t, will likely release him over Xmas newyear period if his manager can twist the arm a bit.

JAC no longer has a manager, he is looking after his own affairs

Gold..

Wrong, he has no offers yet.

He hasn’t left his manager yet, he needs to deal with that issue before signing with anyone.

Milky is an insider now? Wow things change quickly in this forum.

Insider on Dragon Ball Z, Nintendo Switch and whatever else the kids are into these days.

Yea latest tik tok trends?


I suppose anyone can becomes a insider now days..... it doesn't take effort.... the first and last step to doing it is to simply copy and paste any and every bit of information relating to ur inside information into 1 article..... then get a catchy headline that says something like "Latrell GUARENTEED to come to tigers by Thursday".... and voila u r now the equivalent to "The Mole"

Basically the problem is people claim to know stuff, typically won't say how or why, and a very significant amount of it doesn't turn out.

Which makes you wonder, if they knew an old story but not the latest update, how close to the source are they really?

I can understand people keeping their sources private, but also they need to understand they are dangling sometimes annoying carrots in front of everyone else.

It just becomes a mess of people claiming to know things.

All I can say personally is there's only 1 person who legit and consistently has the inside info and that's THE_POM, and he/she is extremely judicious in commenting.

TigerTorch was a classic of balls-deep info but none of it could ever be ratified. It sounded so plausible and detailed that you think some of it had to be true, but it was never confirmed publicly - and would not be, because of the very specific nature of the info. And then abruptly stopped, like a snitch caught out, which adds aura and mystery to it.

white and Baze also seem to hear stuff and post it sporadically. willow and Geo also but they never say anything specific.

smoking gun and new smoking gun - all talk, about half of it right. Sounds legit but also sounds third or fourth-hand, hence why about half of it ends up wrong. People won't take you seriously if you are about as correct as guessing, and that's no slight against anyone or smoking gun.

Whereas me, I once met Keith Galloway's dad on the train, that's all I can say about insider info.

The Pom is just a fanboy.
Trust me.

He might have a friend in the club but he's no more aware than you and I.

Has a great strike rate for someone who is guessing then.

Does he though? Im not knocking THE POM as to me he obviously has good info or works at the club, however to me everything he says is in retro spect. Ive never seen him come on and say 'player X is signing next week.' Again this isnt a go at him, as if he works at the club I'm glad there isnt a dude coming on here and saying stuff before its done. Just saying that he generally comes on after the event and explains what happened.

I'd say the opposite, it's fairly in advance and independent of media noise, i.e. it's definitely not being taken from FB or instagram.

I'm not in the business of propping up THE_POM but the stuff normally comes in early. For example
>"Leilua is 100% done for 2020"

before we announced it publicly, also
>"trying are best to get Musgrove approved & registered for 2020. He’s kept himself really fit & would be great to have onboard."

This one before Aloiai re-signed:
Josh Aloiai has deal on the table & will be making a decision after this weeks Rep game. If he chooses to stay then we have him, Thompson, MCK & Mikaele all signed up & only costing just over $750,000 collectively.

I though JAC was contracted for the next two years? If that is the case, how can we offer him a contract?


Like parra didn’t have offer for matterson.

So it's an unofficial offer. Hopefully the paperwork is not kept in the same place as Farah's.

We’ve got one insider saying west’s are his preferred club and another insider saying west’s are no chance.

I think it’s safe to say our insiders are more like outhouses.

Insiders have a rails run to popularity (or notoriety) on this forum.

I’ve even read people saying they don’t care if the info is accurate or not, they like reading it. You can’t make that stuff up.

Look at the following The Mole, Buzz and Bulldog have at the moment. A big part of the community love click-bait.

fair enough, im not a massive contributor/visitor to the forum so dont see everything, its just my observations. again the first two were fairly common knowledge, musgrove was pictured in training pics for weeks

I can honestly say, I've been here since 2003 or 2004, The_POM's juice is as good as any I've seen.

And definitely not "I know something you don't know", which adds value in my opinion.

Other than that, it's still forum gossip, I just take a little more notice when he/she is commenting. Everyone does, you'll see a thread catch fire if POM comments. And he/she doesn't seem to do chit chat or generalised opinions either, almost exclusively statements of the Tigers inside.

As far as inside info goes, his posts are the ones I look out for. Definitely no ego in his posts unlike others

Pom / Pomette?

@Demps got the scoop on this guy.

It’s one thing to say you enjoy reading gossip. It’s another to enjoy it when you know it’s not true.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The Pom is good, but we all know TigerTorch was the king of inside info. He posted info so sensitive one time, I’m pretty sure the club requested the admin delete it. Don’t think he’s posted since.

 

[HabboTiger]

will forever burn a flame in our hearts

 

[Madge]

His/her comments are selective as well, could suggest that he/she can’t divulge into too much information as he/she could possibly be working at the club or might have a strong direct connection with someone at the Club

 

[Aubanon]

The Pom doesn't work for the club.

 

[AJ1]

It's easy to work out who The Pom is if you go through old posts and a bit of internet sleuthing.

@Demps is clued in.

 

[TYGA]

What has the Pom said. Usually on the money.
