Forgive me if I'm wrong but I have little faith in the Lomax rumour. None of the usual suspects for inside scoops have outright confirmed it has legs, and the fact that he's on a five year contract with the Dragons acts against it.
This isn't a shot at Demps etc. but I think we should have some form of verification for rumours like this, such as messaging a mod your evidence who then keeps it private. Chinese whispers is rife here - the Cotric rumour is evidence of that. Unverified rumours only serve to make us even more disenfranchised when they don't come to fruition.
Happy for this to be criticised, just a thought I had this morning.
Good post and even better user name....
I'm just sharing second hand information and it's from some one, who is I believe to be... one of the better of your usual suspects with the inside info. I may be silly for believing it but I'm very hopeful....
Mentioned weeks ago Mbye to Dragons which is warming up so hopefully both parts of the goss plays put how we want... was mentioned lawyers are involved working on getting the deal done because there is such a lengthy contract already engaged.
Lomax is the perfect player to strengthen us in a position we desperately need upgrades in.
Mods have asked me about this and I've disclosed what I know but not sure anyone at all is capable of verifying rumours. I'm just really hoping it's all legit and it works out how we want.
Oh okay I wasn't aware the mods were already doing that, that's good to hear. And sorry I wasn't aware the info was from one of the usual suspects, that's also reassuring.
You're correct in that there really is no way to verify rumours, unless our lippy CEO gets on the dog and bone to radio as he's been known to do.
My suggestion also has a flaw in that unless the source is a known poster here, it's probably likely to be ignored or deleted. I'm not sure what the solution is, I guess I just feel burned by our recruitment and don't want to get my hopes up unless it's a sure thing. Agree wholeheartedly about Lomax - would make my year if we signed him. Exceptional talent.
I appreciate your response and the info demps.
The mods wernt fact checking me,
Sorry again... didn't word it properly.
Just during discussions, relayed what was said and whatnot... and again, all second hand information but got me excited then almost two weeks later more stuff coming to light and it all seemed to be adding up.
All the insiders have been quiet of late ... but very hopeful this one works it's self out.
Dragons forum members talking about it also. Too much noise for it not to be true.
