| Hi Horbury,
Just thought I'd drop you a PM, because your effort to spread an unfounded rumour is all over the place. You've got a good balance of detail and vagueness, but in the wrong places. You really need to plan them better.
Firstly, Leeds was a good call, particularly as you threw in a former Trinity servant. Hall is getting older and Briscoe a bit hit and miss. But Wigan? You started to lose it here. They've too many good wingers.
Secondly, too much detail in the figures. This is where you keep it vague. Keep it simple. "Heard Leeds and Wigan are showing an interest". At some point, they might have done, and it keeps it sufficiently simple to be credible. But you went in with hard facts and figures. Easy to refute.
Thirdly, you went vague where you should hit it big. "Chinese whispers but come from someone I know has club connections". That simply leads it open to attack. You're admitting that its potentially nonsense, and "has club connections"? That could include anyone with even a passing interest, like those who went to see the pre-match stripper at the Talk of the Town back at the end of the eighties. Too vague. No, go in hard, with "a very reliable source within the club". That's how you do it.
Hope this helps.
We are in PM's, right.....?

Not at all, I was taking the moral high ground, I'm not denying it, you are and that's the point.

You seem confused, all I am guilty of is pointing out that once again you have gone over the top highlighting your displeasure at a post you disagree with.
Oh and fwiw if there had been any substance in this rumour, they'd probably gone for TJ over Eden on the basis that he's a better winger, imo of course

sanctimonious
ˌsaŋ(k)tɪˈməʊnɪəs/Submit
adjectivederogatory
making a show of being morally superior to other people.
"what happened to all the sanctimonious talk about putting his family first?"
synonyms: self-righteous, holier-than-thou, churchy, pious, pietistic, moralizing, unctuous, smug, superior, priggish, mealy-mouthed, hypocritical, insincere, for form's sake, to keep up appearances; More
I think the above applies to you and I assume you feel the opposite - hence I'm not confused. What we have here is a difference of opinion, keep at it you'll get it in the end.

| I would say, rather than selling players, it's going to be much harder keeping them all happy.
I believe we have a winger who is in the last year of his contract and would have thought that this is the player that clubs maybe looking at?

| Not so long ago I might have given credence to such an enquiry being made and perhaps unsettling a player, who might see prospects of silverware much better elsewhere.
Although we are not yet an odds on bet for such success, we are a darned sight nearer than we have been for years, so much so, that the likes of TJ, and other hot prospects may consider they have as good a chance of success here as elsewhere.

| What's the betting that Nosey Parker in League Weekly will be reporting this item as "fact" in the next week or two? I'm convinced all his "scoops" come about in this way

| I'll save everyone the bother of finding it.
Quote: "Wakefield have received an approach from an NRL club interested in boom winger Tom Johnstone.
Still only 22, Johnstone has already clicked up over 50 Super League games since making his debut in 2015 and started this season is phenomenal form.
The flyer scored a hat trick on the weekend and one NRL club in particular is keen on bringing him to Australia but word out of the UK is there’s a lot of interest in the young gun.
With a transfer fee attached to his name, we’ll keep you updated if any clubs are willing to cough up the cash to make the move a reality.'"

| Just a gentle reminder, even if you think everyone knows who a poster is, please don't use their real name.
It's against the AUP and I've only just banned someone for doing that.
