Adam Hawes said the Parramatta players will issue a statement supporting the Mannah family and also say a line has been crossed

backfiring badly for News Ltd

Massively backfiring.

Here it is:

STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF OUR TEAM

The Pirtek Parramatta Eels playing group has today released a statement in relation to media reports surrounding Club Captain Tim Mannah, his late brother Jon and Head of Physical Preparation & Performance Trent Elkin.

“In all parts of life there are boundaries, lines in the sand that everyone understands. It is our belief that the Daily Telegraph today crossed that line. To put the Mannah family through what they have in the last 24 hours is an absolute disgrace and those responsible should be ashamed of themselves.”

“We as a playing group will be rallying around Timmy, his family and Trent Elkin. They are our teammates, our family and this will only make our bonds stronger.”

The club will be making no further comment on this matter.

Dank confirmed he provided peps but claims they were legal and doctors consulted and calls the cancer link nonsense

Cancer Council Australia has also called it nonsense.

Peptide link to Mannah's cancer refuted

Updated: 13:51, Friday April 26, 2013

Cancer Council Australia has issued a statement contesting the possibility of a 'causal link' between peptide use and John Mannah's cancer relapse reported by an independent review.
The Cancer Council statement reads, 'Based on an assessment of the evidence available, Cancer Council Australia says there isn't any link between HGH promoting peptides and a relapse or onset of lymphoma.'

Dank via Weedman states he consulted an oncologist regards the peptides (confirmed) he gave Jon Mannah.

Ok, let see if he obtained that in writing. Why, did he not directly consult Jon's specialist.

Somehow, I believe, this supposed oncologist will not have a name.

C'mon, Dank release his or her name to support your claim.

You will find that dank would not be legally able to disclose doctor client documents

I don't know if he had documents or not to support various claims but if I were his legal team I would be advising him to protect whatever evidence he has Until he is charged or until his court appearances against those he claims as having defamed him

The guy is not even charged with anything and legally does not have to prove his innocence and only a stupid legal team would advise making his defense public before he is even charged

It doesn't matter wether or not you think he is guilty no one can deny his reputation and capacity to earn an income are all but destroyed

So was the link in the Cronulla report fraud? Incompetence? Fishing? A mistake?


The staff at the Daily Tele could not achieve this basic level of fact checking for a front page story?

Pretty funny that anyone would be stupid enough to put their name to this. In either circumstance.

You will excuse me if I dont feel sorry for Dank - he has possible destroyed the reputation of two sports.

Claims he has a letter from WADA re: peptides used, now claims there was an unnamed oncologist consulted.

I will take odds that the letter doesn't exist and I'm doubtful re: oncologist.

Pretty much like what has happened to the Sharks......

Dingles, it is called freedom of speech - a concept you do not understand.

"I do not agree with what you say, but I will fight with my life for your right to say it"

You embarass yourself.

You're getting free speech mixed up with people taking sides, which is normal in any debate. In this case, the three media apologists here are taking sides with the tabloids, while the majority are siding with a decent Rugby League family.

But the so-called 'free speech' you are defending is not free speech at all. The gutter press loses all credibility when they abuse free speech and tramp over an individual's right to privacy.

I hope the telegraph's apology is delivered on the front page of tomorrow's edition with the same attention grabbing style as today's festering turd of an article

Reading this article what the DT got wasn't the report itself. Rather it was a lawyers advice on the contents of it

f**k off, goose; a poster has a right to post their opinion - whether you, I or Dingles agrees with it. Your claim "Rugby League family" only is censorship - only our opinion is right or can be printed.

You are the one that should be embrassed.

"I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight with my life your right to say it". That sir, is the cornerstone of freedom.

My opinion, DT and their reporters are scum and if they had any morals they would not have sensationalised this part of a 60 page "leaked" internal report.

The Tele should be ashamed of themselves.

You have high hopes.

Not a chance, they'll keep milking it for all it's worth.

If you read the last or second paragraph of the article, there's two short sentences there that are buried deep.

"Cronulla was one of six clubs named in the ACC's report... The other five clubs have been cleared..."

Apparently the Sharks are being interviewed next week, where I suspect they'll be cleared as well. Either way, we are only talking about less than 1% of first grade Rugby League players in the country under some scrutiny.

So the real story here is that League is coming out of this as a pretty clean sport. But they bury it so deep in the press that most people don't notice. Meanwhile, the mud sticks and the impression left is that evil Rugby League gave a boy a cancer.

The allegations against Rugby League were clearly petering out. The leaked document would have been a god send for the gutter press.

Get your hand off it. How dare the tabloid lowlives use the death of a great young man to push their agenda especially when it is built on a foundation of straw

Technically I don't share willows view on press self censorship

While I thought the manner of the reporting was sickening in its carnival of death tackiness - I think the press should report stories they are aware of - apologies to willow if i read you incorrectly - i haven't seenmany posts of yours on this topic

The problem I have is with the leak and the invitation in the wording if the report to make thus such a juicy press story

It is smear by stealth carefully engineered and timed

At least the reporters put their names to their regurgitation of that smear
