No it was me that asked what 'stuff' he would keep there. If I'd have got a straight answer there wouldn't have been a problem, would there? It's really that simple. And I think you need to look up the term 'suggested' too.

I left work with all my stuff tonight, does that suggest I was loading my car up with numerous personal effects and went round saying goodbyes to everybody?

If you weren't trying to be clever yourself and undermine the rumour when you asked, then it's a very strange thing to be genuinely curious about IMO.

All this exposure we're getting in numerous Aussie media outlets to the possible signing of an 'irreplaceable NRL player'.

Not bad, eh!

The rumour was to suggest he'd packed his things up as if he was leaving for good, or else why post it? Also that he'd been seen by a TV crew doing this. My question was to ascertain what sort of belongings a pro rugby player would keep at the training ground to lead people to believe this to be the case by seeing him load them into the car.
I don't think it's strange to be curious about that to be honest.

I even heard that it was Prince we were looking at and not Beau Ryan at the beginning of the year!
I think the complete contradiction of all these stories only proves that nobody knows the complete truth.
It does seem though, that the Titans have agreed this deal in advance and I don't think Prince was aware. When this happened though is anyone's guess.

Probably a couple of old jock straps and some roll on deoderant

Well if it's true this was done without him knowing think we can forget about signing him to be honest.

Years of false dawns have led me to be cautious when it comes to these things. Preparing for worst case scenarios really softens the blow!

Re: More rumours : Mon Oct 22, 2012 11:19 pm  

You're all missing the point. And that is 'hype'.

All this "have we got him?" talk is building to a big finale. If he signs or not, Pearson and Gentle have put our club in the headlines in both hemispheres. Fans are talking and getting excited at an NRL captain ready to end his career at FC. Harness this hype and convert it into sales and the club wins. Even the way we've announced it, with Gentle jetting off under cover of darkness, adds to the mystery.

PR job done and a massive improvement on the last administration. I love it.

Does the quota/non fed situation allow us to sign prince without seymour moving on? (assuming mcdonnell is already signed)
