Come on boys and girls, it might be 'water off a duck's back', but, let's try and keep it civil and where possible Rugby related...apologies for my crap joke on another thread.

You can read posts and laugh along, or argue a point, but, if it's really that much of a wind up, hitting the ignore button is always an option or simply letting it go?

Thanks UR.

I wouldn't mind but I give them what they crave...rumours, and pretty good ones too...perhaps I get lucky?!


I defend a post with reasons.
I don't get personal.
I haven't blocked any poster choosing to use debate.

Am I wrong?...well I've been proven wrong a few times, because if the club gets it wrong then I get ruffled feathers. I like to think of those wrongs like I hit a swerve ball or the crossbar because not all shots go in the net.
I honestly cannot believe how so many people don't think we are in for players get rejected at the last minute? Do these people seriously think we never get rejected and everyone we speak to all sign? Come on and smell the custard...we're probably hitting around 50% at best in our recruitment targets.

As far as I'm sure, I never use the reoccurring term 'nailed on' which makes me wonder, how many of the posters that like to have a pop have even took the time to at least read my post first?

On a sadder note I've worked with people regarding Wakefield House and I find jokes about mental or physical illness very poor humour.
I am currently going through an Alzheimers process with my father.

Completely agree. I have written to RLFans Limited on a similar matter about the nature in which protected characteristics are handled.

I've been fortunate to have been treated by the good people at Wakefield house, and let's not forget we lost one of our own, Yed, to mental illness.

Having said all that, I believe the only one that craves you posting rumours, is your goodself. Perhaps it's an ego "I'm in the know" thing you have going on.

I'm sure he meant no harm.
He had a Trump moment.

Ego?
I only post if I've one passed to me. ....and a 109 pages on a second rumours thread this year...and the one prior to that had around half as many, might just not follow your notion.

It's either 'ego' or 'attention seeking.' Not sure which. But still embarrassing.

I sometimes get told information by someone very connected at the highest level of the club, but I wouldn't post it on here or any social media platform. But then I have no desire for adulation.

And Paul can only ever guess.

I honestly don't understand the grief that RD gets on here...it is a 'rumours' thread for God's sake. if you don't like what he says just ignore him.

Certainly a lot worse on here for spouting rubbish.

Keep it going Duckie!!!!

Thank Walt...will do.
You'll be forum enemy no2 for posting that pal.

It would definitely be a less interesting place without him (or her).

I find d it so funny how people get so vexed if he gets a prediction wrong!! And will post a quote from years ago too fecking brilliant!!

Its not a prediction to say on our new coach 'its Pay. Thats why hiku was released...the family reasons were rubbish'. It was a blatant lie and libellous. Stating a rumour as a rumour is ok stating it is as fact when you know it isnt is very annoying.

That was an opinion.
Isn't that something completely different than saying...we've signed Hiku...?
Are you not able to differentiate that?
Or would you like me to say every time I have an opinion on every post?
