Rabbitohs rumours, signings, injuries etc

Don’t answer trolls

I'd like to know as you seem very quick and certain to shoot down any suggestion I've made that there has been interest in Farah from the Bulldogs at some stage.
By no means am i claiming to be in the know and will openly admit that I'm just regurgitating a rumour that got around the traps. That said, most rumours that do the rounds will have at least some substance to them so I'm interested in learning what you know.

Rabbitoad has asked questions of a number of rumours or opinions that you've shared and you've failed to answer or enter into a discussion about most if not all of them. Instead you just dismiss anything he asks or says by getting defensive and claim that he's picking on you. Maybe he is after a while but if you answer his question, he'll accept it and discuss it. That is the point of a forum after all.

No one wants Farah. If they did he would of left by now. He knows he is now behind Cook in the peaking order.

I’ve answered your question and I’ve also answered his before. But I’m not choosing to reply to his silly comments. Understand? Can we move on now?

Why would he move on if he stands to earn up to $800k this year at Souths as has been reported?

 

[Souths Till I Die]

That’s exactly what I thought.

Seibold hasn’t really made it obvious that Cook will be first choice hooker. I still think he’s a quality first grade player but it’s just finding a spot for him in our team I guess. He still would have a lot to offer a team that didn’t have a solid number 9.

No way is he on $800k with us.
That figure was what he earned last year which was including Tigers contribution to their heavily back ended deal he had at Tigers.
The figure with us will be closer to $450k

$450k is the figure that is most often bandied about.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

$450k is the figure that is most often bandied about.

I’m almost certain it’s 600k. He was on 200k in the first year and got a 400k payrise this year. A rep hooker isn’t going to accept 400k.

 

[Rabbit toes]

Any way you cut it, he’s not value for money. Neither of them are

Yeah, $600k has generally been the upper limit mentioned.

How is asking you where you heard something trolling?

So in other words, you don't know and you're too ashamed to admit it. You just don't like people disagreeing with your opinion.

Thanks for confirming.

I agree Farah isn't but Cook might just suprise you this year mate.

 

[Rabbit toes]

I agree Farah isn't but Cook might just suprise you this year mate.

A mere 5+ seasons to secure a first grade spot. Sorry man. He’s not the complete player with the skill set Farah has. Ironically Farah is at the end of his career so neither is Farah any more.
Perservance through 2018 then cut them both lose. Blood a young gun or poach an up and comer.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

Walker has confirmed his extension to 2020. I really like Walker and I think he will elevate to new heights this season by not being tossed around in different positions.

You seem to have a real problem with the way forums work...

Let me give you a quick rundown.

People share rumours all the time. Could be something they've read elsewhere online, heard along the grapevine, whatever... The source is not all that important. If they wish to share the source then good for them. If not for whatever reason then that is their choice to make.

Once a rumour is out there on the forum, we discuss it. Could be you don't believe it or doubt the validity or you may be unsure... Whatever. Its your right to decide to believe it or not. The important thing is that its up here to be discussed and everyone can see it and make their own decisions.

When you continually criticise people, that makes them less likely to share and even drives them away from the forum. That is really the last thing we want.

It doesn't hurt you in any way when a rumour is posted here and you have every right to let everyone know if you think its BS or not. However, what we won't cop is you following people around the forum and calling them liars for sharing rumours on the forum.

You have every right to doubt the validity of the rumours but you don't have the right to white ant the people that post said rumours.

That's what I believe it to be too..

All I'm doing is asking where people have heard things so I know how seriously I should take the information.

You know, discussing the rumour.

I'll talk about it whether it's a club release, something they read on Facebook or anything in between. But if it's an interesting rumour, I want to know if it's true or not.

The only ones getting upset are the insecure ones.

The ones who refuse to say where they heard something so people can't judge for themselves how credible it is, but still desperately try to convince people it's true. Then sulk like spoiled children if people don't believe them.

If you're worried about losing people from the forum, criticising them for asking valid questions probably isn't your best move. Neither is encouraging people to feel victimised if others ask them valid questions.

If you're worried about forum numbers you should be trying to make this place a source of valid information for fans. Not coddling the 3 or 4 people who make things up to keep the current 10 people you have interested.

I'm calling racism DkoR,what's this white ant stuff as a suggestion of being a pest,what's the problem with a black ant being a pest!!!!
I'm not really concerned but seeing that so many other dickheads would have a bitch if it was the other way around,I just thought I'd have a bitch for a change.

In other words, if someone comes on and says

"Hey everyone, my super secret inside source who I can't tell you about told me that XYZ is going to happen"

they're trying to make the conversation about them and where they got the information.

If they're honest and say

"Hey everyone, I read on a forum that XYZ is going to happen"

then they're making the conversation about XYZ.

A few insecure people getting overly defensive about being asked the obvious question isn't the problem.

It's those people demanding that others believe them, despite giving us no reason to, then sulking like spoiled children if we don't.

 

[Rabbitoad]

Some interesting info about the Wigan game

https://www.rabbitohs.com.au/news/2018/02/12/opportunity-knocks-for-youngsters-seibold/

Jennings, Graham, Kennar, Hunt, Clark and Nicholls all starting. Britt and Tatola coming off the bench.

No Sam, G.I, Gagai, Walker or Reynolds

(Notice how I told everyone where i found this out, so people don't have to waste time and energy trying to find out if it's credible information )

Your example is complete rubbish. You're the one that's making it about the OP and where they got the information by trying to call them out on sources all the time. There is no rule on this forum stating that a rumour must be accompanied by a source. Not in this part of the forum anyway. As I mentioned earlier, it is completely up to you as to who or what you believe, there is no burden of proof on the person posting the rumour.

Internet forums are built on rumours and discussion around said rumours.

Let me make it even clearer for you with some examples...

"I don't believe your rumour" = ok

"You're a liar unless you tell me your source" = not ok

Its pretty simple stuff. Trying to call people out all the time is harassment and that is definitely against the rules. If you can't handle all of this then you're in the wrong place.
