For the record, Nathan Brown attributed the rumour mongering to journalists (whose job it is to stir sh*t), and not fans who use internet forums because they love the game
"The most disappointing thing for us this week was the media in Sydney saying all bad things about Trent, people making up rumours about him, that he's been doing this and me and him did that," Brown said

Hadley seems to think that it's only fair that the media can destablise the club
Anyone who expresses an opinion but isnt paid for it should be done away with I suppose?
It would be censorship to get rid of internet forums, whatever happened to freedom of speech? If you couldnt post that sort of thing on the internet, you'd still talk about it via IM, email, phone, and in person. It's a ridiculous proposition what Hadley is suggesting.
For the record too we all know how keen Willow etc are to make sure that unsubstantiated rumours dont remain on the site.
Hadley is an OK caller, but a fair dinkum control freak. He needs someone to deflate his ego somewhat. Shutting down internet forums? That's a sick joke.
