Getting Sick of Rumours and Speculation

I realise that there is a genuine motivation to share some rumours with fellow Eels supporters, but surely we can have a bit of a break from the ridiculous rumours flying around here.

Do we have to continually speculate about this player or that being linked to our club?

That whole Sinbad rumour completely dominated this site to the extent that I for one stayed away from blogs for the best part of the last week. There were bets, accusations, abuses - generally conduct that did not reflect well upon us all as supporters. I was drawn into the rumour when it first appeared but I was so disappointed with where the blog went. It was not cool.

  • I can understand your disappointment but I don't mind it as long as it isn't some idiot getting his kicks by deliberately spreading false information. It gives us supporters something to talk about in the off season and it's interesting to know what is going on behind the scenes. I would just avoid the blogs if it is that unbearable.
  • Well I am a fairly recent member on this site - and I could not believe that the Sinbad blog brought out such anger - from both sides of the fence.
  • Maybe that's just me with my peace and love 60s thing!
  • All in all it makes for interesting reading,but i think it gives a few members hope that there is something nice coming who wouldn't?
  • Couldn't agree more SB!
    Hopefully we've heard the last of any rumours, and we can focus on other things to do with footy.
  • Its a One Eyed Eel forum on a public website about the Mighty Parramatta Eels Rugby League club with a rich proud tradition that has contributions from it's fans that have been long suffering for 25years while waiting for that elusive Premiership, and you want the rumours to stop!

    Good luck with that!
  • I've been quiet too Sixtiesboy!

    I didn't even really keep up with the blog because I feel as though it is very much up in the air until it is on the dotted line.

    Just counting down to the new season now! : )
  • Monster, its probably not the fact that Sinbad got it wrong.

    Most of us appreciate that people like to share information.

    Its more that Sinbad basically guaranteed the arrival of JT, criticised others who were privy to similar information before him and that he attacked anyone who argued that it was a bit of a long shot that he was coming.

    Again, not the blog itself, but just the delivery.
  • once we know what orford is doing, that should end the rumours for 2011.
  • Was there rumours around....I never noticed until NOW! :-)
