That would be assuming he did say Puff. You see Judders without wanting to you have entered the debate.
Either you accept social media or you don't, but forums like this are part of that. If you look at the posts on the VT, probably 50% of them are rebuttals, but discussing the point inflates it even more. Even if part of the discussion is about whether it should be discussed.
i don't buy the impressionable kids arguement. Printer is quite right about that.
However the RFL are on tricky wicket. They ignore an allegation (even if it is by social media) and risk reputation from none action.
Or take action and risk an investigation that will be inconclusive.
The Leeds club are naturally going to poo poo and investigation. Even your basic crim knows to say they did nothing wrong and the police are picking on them. It's your basic first principle. Deny everything.
Take the extract on sporting life from the coach....
"Zak's getting accused of being something he isn't and his name shouldn't be bandied about at this stage.
"It's guilty until proven innocent, unfortunately. He's not even been investigated yet, never mind been found guilty.
All this seems fine but then tagged on is
"That happened last time and it's happening again."
Well last time Zak's was accused of something he did say he was proven guilty.
The last sentence seem to imply that last time it was all social media and Zak was innocent last time just like this time. A bit of re-writing history, whilst pleading the case.
There again. Leeds coming in to defend the guy, just again becomes a talking point that we can all pick over. You can't say anything in this situation without it adding to the story.
