No it absolutely isn't fact at all.

Lats night was the launch at the HJ of this years service area, the squads have been selected and there where a few speakers before the lads and parents had to fill in forms and have their squad photos taken.

Tony Smith was meant to be attending together with John Bastian but neither of them made it. Bastian was at Red Hall with an academy player and Tony Smith had been unable to make it.

There was a little funny cracked about TS being in talks with Darren Lockeyer but thats all it was a Joke.

Alan Kilshaw Service Area CoOrdinator opened the evening followed by Ben Lazenby and then Brian Chambers.

Peter Farrell was not even in attendance

Or a smokescreen. Either way Tony Smith wasn't there, so where was he?

Tony Smith was at home watching Boots n All and thinking.... "one day Cull, I'll have that job off you too!"

....and even John Bastian couldn't make it!

OK rubber duckie - another instance of you deliberately making things up! Either pack it in, or you will be shown the door.

How can you ban people for making things up ? There would be no one left on the RL fans network if that was to happen !

Not so. I'm not suggesting ban everyone who has ever made something up. But posters who only exist to spread nonsense we can do without.

Users who only exist to make stuff up will be banned.

We are all looking for good quality reasoned debate.

Amen Modders, amen.

On that note:-

Am I alone in thinking that signing SBW (assuming there is even a shred of truth in the rumour) would be an outrageous gamble for at least 2 reasons:-

1- His injury record; and
2 - His well documented 'attitude' problems

Don't get me wrong, I'd back Tony Smith to get Freddy Krueger on the straight and narrow but wouldn't this be the challenge of his life?

Maybe Tony likes a challenge. I very much doubt he is talking to SBW, we are ok in the position that he plays, where we need to strengthen I think is in the halfs and pretty quickly to hopefully.

Couldn't he just take on Gazza!

We are ok in his position at the moment but if the clearout continues there may well be a squad place for him.
