I put a similar article link on a few days ago but from a different website and was lambasted for it. This looks like a regurgitation of that….

Dunno about “lambasted” however I did state that I believed he’d signed for london, which I still believe is the case

I would take any of those to be honest. Always liked O’Donnell and was hoping we would sign him last year.

Absolutely agree would love to see O’Donnell at Wakey but it won’t be anytime soon.

One of the best secondrows in SL and still only 24.

Money talks but think he will be prioritising a move back to the NRL before he gets past his sell by date and becomes a permanent fixture in SL.

An absolutely top class player ODonnell, he has just extended for another 2 years, the biggest difference in Leigh in my lifetime is having a top class coach in Lam and Chester has made some unreal overseas signings.

I reckon we’ll see how Braden uele gets on early this season before making a potential play for him. He’s ooc at the end of the season

The down side to social media. Anyone can start a page and pretend to be a journalist even without the necessary skills or ability. Add that to the massive volume of data farming pages that the public just like, comment, share and click links on. It’s a huge black market is data these days and the amount of oblivious people who just offer up interaction is just mind blowing. It’s just a minefield.


As for SARL the articles are shockingly poor in quality, structure and lack any sort of cohesion.

Agreed, they are.

However, leaving empty shirt numbers like that, have left themselves open for debate, by both supporters ans social media pages alike.

It's not the first time its happened, and wont be the last either.

It does make it exciting though, as who could be 18 & 19.

What's even worse is that the SARL approach clearly pays dividends - their previous writer Callum Walker, who was the author of a ton of second-hand articles that were spammed across RL social media for SARL, managed to parlay that into a job with TotalRL. The latter outlet used to be a serious source of information when Matt Shaw and Aaron Bower were their two lead journalists, but now they have Walker churning out a nauseating diet of "stories", which are then relentlessly spammed all over social media in classic clickbait style, including rehashing stories from club websites back to that club's TotalRL forum.
