explanation - clickbait sells
I agree mostly with that . These gutter bloggers and tabloid hacks work the story backwards and fill in the blanks to suit there purpose - not usually hatred towards us that motivates more a desire on their own part to appear relevant or have something to say and we are the easy target at the moment. half truth stories about us are more believable right now for obvious reasons.
Starts with Manly losing games, WHICH then leads them to be able to speculate player unrest (and lets face it nobody is super happy when they are losing ) WHICH then leads to assumptions of players wanting out, then just throw in the biggest name and work your way downwards. They know the Turbo's aren't likely to want out so Marty is the next cab off the rank. It's just kite flying.
Sit back and wait and see what happens pay no attention to these scare mongers. And as a general note....anybody who listens to James Hooper....I honestly don't know how to help you.
