Possibly, possibly not. He may have a contact but you must admit that a lot of the stuff he posts is based on rumours already out there. Or as Nicky alluded to, he mentions stuff after the event.

I enjoy reading them anyway so I hope he carries on.

Sussed him out ages ago, when confronted he post's everything he claims to have posted in the past, most of which was already known, He actually pm'd me on Mikes site after I made a comment about the two props he said we where signing along with Georgy who was going to sign on the last 2 Fridays, Only guy I believe on there is the fish far bloke

He wouldn’t name the two props and waited for two signings to be confirmed elsewhere and the first prop signed anywhere after his rumour was Mulhern. , so he was one. Nobody has signed another prop since to my knowledge, so George Lawler was the next one, even though he’s a loose forward and isn’t moving until next season.

I’m keeping my eye on the championship second rower we’re after. He’s not named him but my guess is once a second rower from the championship does move to superleague (and one probably will), it will be him and we missed out on him.

It’s something we could all do. I’m saying we’re looking at a championship prop, an NRL prop and a halfback from the NRL. I can’t name them though and I’ll come back to you all with who they are after they sign here or elsewhere. Don’t push me on names as I cannot give them. We’re after Wane coming back as well and he may or may not do and if he doesn’t we’ll look elsewhere. We considered Sinfield and had informal talks but he’s going to Union.

All tripe but you get the picture.

That's the the story of that other site, in my view. One reason I don't go there anymore.

I't's not just that there are a couple of people who seem to think it gives them life-affirming kudos if they know stuff (even when it's patently made up, as you indicate) but also that so many are ready to believe anything they say, even though so much of it is guff.

In addition, the willingness to dump on IL is frightening given that the guy has brought great pride back to Wigan after the years of mismanagement by Mo and Whelan. My only explanation is again that a lot them on there are sheep, and they will follow wherever one or two others are prepared to lead them.

Apparently Miski (Winger from London) has now been signed.

That's in addition to Thornley and Nathan Mason.

Watched miski highlights on YouTube looks a good un!

So far we haven't signed or been linked with any of the names you mentioned earlier in the thread when you claimed Faf De Klerk was coming.

Pot. Kettle.

I just think, when the rumours start to be about other posters, rather than players, we've gone a bit off-track!
