No he didn’t, Gareth Davies posted on twitter his ideal NRL Europe. This is what happens when gossip spreads without fact checking. 

Hence why I said pure speculation and hence why in my first post which I posted creating this topic asked does anyone actually know anything. How can I fact check something when there’s currently no facts about this topic. Did I say that the tweet was a fact?? Nope, I said I’d been sent it by my brother in law. It’s a Tweet from a commentator, not a statement from Peter V’landys. 

I also said I received it in a message obviously with no context, Poptart gave context to what the tweet actually is clearly and concisely without coming across as very condescending as you have. Nice one cheers. 

And another unsubstantiated rumour is that the aussies want the european league to go back and run through winter to enable full year tv and media coverage.

Heard Matty Johns speak about this last year on the ‘home run with Fletch and Joel’. Saying that the NRL would love us to go back to winter so that some of their players could come over like they did in years gone by for stints with our clubs, more money for them, better players for us. Obviously pure speculation 

Thought we already played in the Winter.....

You have literally implied fact on every post you’ve made on this thread. Not a single thing has been made public or official yet - everything is pure gossip and hearsay.

Fourth-hand chat is not a discussion point.

So paraphrasing what Matty Johns has said on a podcast about this topic whilst saying it’s purely speculation is also implying it’s a fact. Ok. I’m sorry I offended you by gossiping and stating false facts about this subject….. on a RL discussion forum.

He does do a podcast you know, if he says it's not for discussion then who are you to argue. 

Ahh yes, I forgot we have Wakefield’s very own Joe Rogan here dictating the etiquettes of how a discussion/debate should formulate within a RL discussion forum. Brilliant.

Surely the discussion of potential signings for 2026 etc is now out of bounds due to obviously no Facts or basis behind these 4th hand rumours/gossip….. and to think I was going to start a new thread about DCE signing.   

Disagree Jamie - anything is a discussion point on a chat forum.

You are normally the first one to “Keep it Positive” (and I agree) but we know what he was talking about is speculation, most of it is.

So I guess the point being made is context.
I agree anything is discussable but context is important 


If you post an unsubstantiated rumour and imply you think it's true, the obvious answer is for someone to simply say it isn't.


If you say where the rumour came from and then draw a conclusion I think people are more likely to discuss it.


I'm not preaching. Just suggesting this way gets a better out come.
