Trolling websites for rumoured signings and news!

[1969]

Lets face it, if I was a sports journalist, the first thing I would do is troll a club website, and any forum, such as Silvertails, and run stories based on what is discovered, true or not.

Wiedler, Moley, Lurker, Rothtool, and the likes make their coin from pulling stories out of their ring, and run with them. They dont give a rats about the authenticity, because they know if they throw enough crap, something will stick, and they become the "insider guru"...

Its not like they have to give their sources up, kebab shop guy, seen in a cafe, heard in the kennel, silvertails, blah blah blah.....

I think sometimes we feed off "strong mail" that these journalists feed us, that was originally sourced from Silvertails, via the kebab guys, best mate, who know a guy close to the inside, lol...

Correct,and they all look on here, I was a little remiss in calling @Readingtheplay some not so nice names on here, and Bingo within a few hours he’d done a screenshot and called me on it on Twitter.

So yes a source of all things Manly is indeed right here before your very eyes!!

Some of the journos also source their tips and info from player managers, much more accurate than randoms here. The looking at message boards is a secondary thing.

I reckon this is where stories come from:
1. Actual inside information 10%
2. Internet forums 60%
3. Made up 30%

No. Like 92% of all statistics they are completely made up.

There's a 77.7% chance that is inaccurate.

Trouble is how do we know what 22.3% of the material we get is accurate?

I am at odds with you on that.
