No it isn't. I just thought people might want to see the actual
article in the rugby paper now it's online.

No idea why, but when I click on any links, I get routed to a
site called Kitbox? But if I copy and paste the url, it works
fine.

Fissler stil sticking to his guns hinting he may still go. I
think PG is good to his word.

suckered in just because journalists are the easiest targets on
the planet, you're in danger of requiring a blond toupee. I
worked at the BBC for 4 years and the Beeb is by no means
perfect, but the amount of effort the journalists exert on a
daily basis to try and present an unbiased truth in as balanced
a way as possible is frankly bizarre given how much stick they
constantly get from all corners (I always find it funny how the
right find it to be liberal hogwash and the left find it to be
Tory propaganda - can it be both?! That's a discussion for
another day.) The point is they tirelessly do their best and if
I'd ever been one of them I'd have thrown my towel in early
doors.

that Auntie has at its disposal but journos don't just sit at a
desk and concoct whatever comes to the top of their head that
day. "Oh, I know. Gustard was a Tiger. They're struggling. Let's
just say Tigers have approached him." Doesn't happen like that.
These people have sources - friends on the inside with
information. When they receive information they then look to
corroborate it. Simple as that. 99% of the time there's truth to
what's coming through. What happens next is anyone's guess -
they're not claiming to be Mystic Meg. They print the
gossip/situation as it is on that day, end of story.

> Whether or not Gustard wants to go is another thing but I can
be almost certain there was some truth to the claim that Tigers
were going to have a go for him. Hopefully now that he's come
out and said what he said they won't bother.

Would never have made that accusation about the beeb or indeed
large parts of the media, but as you will be well aware
journalistic standards vary widely and sports desks are
notorious (especially when it comes to transfer rumours) of
printing stuff they know has little substance because it
attracts clicks / attention

which is to wait, watch the way the coverage goes and then
address it.

Funny how sensitive to manners you are yet happy to accuse the
Tigers CEO and Murphy of lying.
