I’ll do you a deal. You name your source, and I’ll tell you every bid we’ve had

I do sometimes wonder at the mentality of some posters on here. After watching the club since the late 70's for the first time in 30 plus years we are going into a season with a realistic expectation of a top 4 finish, we havent sold our young lads on for the first time ever and here we have some numpty talking about selling one of the best prospects to come all along since Gareth Ellis?

There is no one in the leeds team I would swap with or without money for johnston, and if a club was coming in it wouldn't be wigan (davies, burgess and marshall) leeds (briscoe, hall and handley) aren't exactly short of wingers

Whats undone you is the utter lack of credibility of yoyr story and the haste and glee in which you've posted it - why?

As if you're going to get clarrification on here - you've been dismissed which isn't the same.

Before you post next time some pointer, sorry I know it sounds patronising but hey.

1: Does this damage the club - yes in a small way.
2: Does it unsettle the player - possibly so why do it.
3: Why would any team second game in be after a winger who's had one good game and one not so good game and is still ring rusty.
4: Why would they want such a player when at this stage they don't need him - both clubs are on 4 point and have free scoring wingers of their own - makes no sense at all.
5: No Winger is worth that much and if they were why not go for Eden, he's scored way more tries!
6: Finally name and shame, this alleged club connection has made you look a fool, but worse he's betrayed the club and deserves outing and perhaps even a sacking that's how strongly I feel about loose lipped employees.

I'll give you the benefit that no malice was intended but it was a bit of a childish post tbh.

Ha ha ha the only other team Johnstone will be playing for is England

Who told you then?

Of course you do, the question is was it worth asking - the answer has to be a resounding no.

Or are we going to have a season of this nonesence instead of concentrating on what really matter - the Rugby.

In case you don't know Trinity employs litterally hundred of shadow employees who all seem to work from the pub on a sunday - chances of this poster knowing the name of this phantom editector/player/agent/coach/father of the coach/father of the bride is virtually zero.

You wouldnt believe how many people I know who are allegedly 'in the know'.

It used to be the case that a shareholder used to be giving it the ‘big I am’ in the greenhouse every weekend. Used to drive me mad. I’d like to think idle gossip has dried up massively over last four years.
However if a member of staff is throwing stuff around I’d like to know.
I think I’ve nailed this latest one. I was with our fantastic volunteers on Friday in the mushroom shed, telling them what a great job they’d done getting the ground ready, and as I left, I mentioned to them that I’d just had Wigan and Leeds on the phone.........

There's plenty of idle gossip in Harry's Bar and the Printworks. I've heard some belters over the years.

Hopefully not enquiring about any of our players?

Although losing/selling our best players is not something that any of us want, surely, it's a massive compliment to all involved, that some of our players are turning heads.
Barca will get enquiries for Messi every other day and it's down to the club as to how we deal any enquiries for our players.
Having any numbers made public is a different problem and MC sounds like he might be dealing with this issue.

So the guys nickname is Freak then? And what did Freak reply?
