That did make me chuckle, just the way you phrased it.

hes staying everyone don't believe the crappy papers. Why would kear let one of our best players go when hes under contract until 2011. Its ludicrous stop talking rubbish if he goes then it will have to be a great aussie replacement. Kear is not stupid. People stop panicing !!!

If only things were as simple as some of our fans!

look idiot hes contracted to 2011 end of ................... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only one idiot

If we do get rid of him we will have a very good replacement lined up.

thought you said he was not going????

It's a meaningless arguement.

Neither side knows as a fact, so you are just argueing over your own opinions. You can't prove anything until it's announced officially.

For half of the season people have been saying Griffin was as good as nailed on to leave Shudds for Wigan, yet he's just been announced as having signed a 3 year extension. On the flip side, plenty of strong rumours turn out to be true.

As far as I'm concerned the forum would be a duller place without rumours, but before I took any too seriously I'd think about where it came from, how probable it is and how many people are echoing it. On the last two criteria, the Atkins one is clearly a strong possibility.

Agree

Although I enjoy the discussion of potential ins and outs, I never actually take anything as ‘nailed on’ until it has been officially announced.

Agreed. Looking at new names and possibilities is part of the fun. The "experts" that try to say they know spoil that a little bit.
