Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

WT seemed to have plugged the leaks on their side. like take the assistant coach search, the only candidates we know about are Shane Flanagan and Mick Crawley, both of whom are closely connected to the media.

the Averillo news dropped when it was a done deal, Brailey came out of nowhere, Friz was reported by a tier two journo (Issa) that managed to do a brilliant job to call it that early.

Doueihigate was leaked via Isaac and WT tried to wrestle control back via Nicolussi, whereas the Luai stuff really only broke ground when he was spotted at the airport and then when we killed his contract it was when it was completely done.

point is, whatever Richo did to plug the leaks in early 2024 has remained in place. the issue is when agents get involved.

Yes .. the leaks from the club have dried up,,,, makes a difference when you don’t take the journos to boozy lunches when tongues might get loosened up over that 5th bottle of red .

As you said though … the agents are always talking to the journos … there has been plenty of rumours doing the rounds for a while now ( must be a couple of months) about Mann and Frizell joining … Averillo news was out a while too before being officially confirmed…. I don’t know about you, but I don’t take it as read until it’s official ,,,we have been burned plenty of times before with guys being “over the line” and then not coming

yeah hopefully at 30 i can go another round, been playing seniors since 2023, you still play ?

Nah, I gave it up after sg ball which was 20 odd years ago. Also had a crack at coaching, but had too many other distractions in life to apply myself.
