Is there another club outside of the tigers that can self implode themselves at the most crucial moment like we do.

Imagine if we get beat tomorrow night while this shouldn't affect the team and result it is an unwanted distraction that simply isn't needed. You need everyone pulling in the one direction to win a comp.

Whoever the person internally who leaked it should be marched out of the club before BA even gets his marching orders.

It's a disgrace and clearly that individual does not have the clubs best interests at heart leaking to germs like Hooper.

Only briefly. I've benefitted much more from analysing it, using it and exploiting it on behalf of others.

I've had a bit to do with the general media through business groups and such, but my beef is mainly with sports media, Fox Sports and Telecarap in particular and I've never made any secret about that, mainly because I know a few Fox Sports ex journos and its staggering some of the stories they tell.

Its not a lack of understanding of how they work, or at least not all of them. I would assume there are some reputable journos, Chippy comes to mind, god rest his soul.

Fair call mate. They are grubs, but in my experience they only thrive when they find an equally grubby insider. That was the only point I was making.

Do you know the process for intercepting phone calls in New South Wales? Or are we talking about the old James Bond hiding a bug in a phone scenario?
I don't really understand your question. Twiz suggested it exists, you questioned it, I provided an example.

here's a great example, write a trash article then follow it up with more articles saying the same thing and use buzzwords like bombshell

could spell disaster too apparently, click at your own peril

Yes, the story about how senior players supposedly don't want Arthur in but Nrown instead was interesting though. That's what Hooper claimed.

well mine is, the report is 2 weeks old and they release it on the eve of a final

these are people who have been known to pay their sources and even tap phones to get a story, bottom feeders
Fans are on to this farce.
