Does anyone else think that this whole 'let's make a big thing of announcing the next signing' doesn't really work in the era of social media, internet forums etc?
We all knew about Sidlow and Olbison before the 'Evening with the Bulls', and it was all over social media about Peterson well before the so-called midnight deadline. Now we have the 'surprise reveal' of Uaisele. Hmmm... don't think so!
It's a cool idea - but it doesn't really work in this day and age.
The easy answer would be to just stay off social media if you don't want the surprise spoiled.
But honestly, I think so far, our 2015 signings have been kept under wraps quite well in comparison to prior years.
Certainly as far as this forum is concerned, nobody called the Fleming or Peterson signings until they were announced, and even the Uaisele rumour only materialised after some newspapers ran with it.
We've had a few other names rumoured to be on their way in this thread, but other than that there aren't many people - on here at least - who have a clue who we're looking at for 2015.
Perhaps those at the club privy to the info are actually keeping their mouths shut this time - for the most part anyway.
