Can Hayne get a transfer? Team will be stronger.

Why are Wests Tigers even mentioned in this? He's never played for Wests Tigers. He's a Wests Magpies player, and not a highly rated one either. He'd probably have been uncontracted in a couple of weeks time anyways. If he was at Townsville Blackhawks would he have been labelled a Souths player in the media? Heck no...!

Money and headlines. Great question.

Poor taste headline by the OP

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

The OP was mimicking main stream media.

You must be fun at parties

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

With all due respect to Tiger Yoshi. Thank you Shire Tiger for the moment of solstice. If I may. It is funny. Reminds me of myself at parties.

And the sensationalism of it all. If it bleeds. It leads. The people want blood. Thats where the money is.

Was thinking a player took Lee or Pascoe when. I saw the headline

Thats the thing. Headlines. Sensationalism. It sells.

But seriously so sad to throw your life away

Because fewer people read it if the title says "Kid from Austral throws his life away".

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Baddabing Baddaboom!

I am starting to think that the Tigers have more fans then I think they do and get you so much click bait

The media INTENTIONALLY goes after click bytes ONLY, so instead of just stating the facts e.g. a person (no NAMES, no GENDER, no AGE) ALLEGEDLY killed that guy, the MSM instead go for spicy click byte!
This UNLAWFUL media abuse of privacy must STOP, the media plays police, prosecutor, judge, and jury
without any consequences!🤬

Odessa and INBWT. You both nailed it. Beautiful to have humans such as yourself on this forum that can decipher reality from fantasy. Heartache from Money.

But it's defamation and Lee should be all over it

Not defamation. To win a court case of defamation you need to prove that the thing said was untrue/unsubstantiated and impacts their reputation.

At best you could demand they issue a correction to say that he's a Wests Magpies player, not a Wests Tigers player, and then you look like a fool for trying to massage the news story (and they know they got a reaction from you). You also piss off Magpies. Article already says club declined to comment.

It’s defamation to state a fact?
