I should have said 'journalistic. But the point stands. Don't reveal stuff that isn't true and verified.
true which why i never posted 'it' if i had my time again i would not have posted at all .

Whats the easiest way to convert iphone screenshots so that they are within the size limits to post on the thread?

Basically:
If he doesn't post- You guys are annoyed. It blows over.
If he says something libelous that isn't true and someone gets wind of it/it catches on and spreads- Maso's in a lot of **** for publicising the rumour.
As it wasn't run with, it's assumed it wasn't true, as either the newspapers realised it wasn't true, or didn't think it was worth running. Either way, if Maso posts it, he's the source.

If you report something, then you cop the blame for it. Doesn't matter where Maso heard it. He's the one that (in this hypothetical) chose to publicise it, and thus must cop the whack if the person he hypothetically mentioned sues etc.

To be honest I don't think that many of us that wanted to know really give a toss what the rumour was. All Maso said was he'd heard something that he assumed would break soon. Doesn't mean it wasn't true, it just means the media either hasn't picked up on it yet or didn't think it newsworthy. Plenty of journalists are quite happy to run with rumours that haven't been verified. I think most of us were just having a bit of fun with it.

my two cents worth.

I think we view this differently. I agree though. Just explaining for those who might not be aware.

Probably the best thing about the forum is that people can have different opinions but can debate things without getting rude or aggressive. :) which is a tribute to Jay. By the way congrats on the great start to the season, your side looks pretty solid. Always happy to see a forum member so close to the pointy end.

I'm hoping my team can keep going! Thank you very much dude :). Hopefully more can join me and t.thomas6 and we can fly the SCS flag together!

If I don't see J.Smith in that side this week and Petracca the next, it is 100% a ghost ship.

Bingo Bingo has cash cows of Weitering, Dea, Adams, Brown, McDonald-Tippa, Davis, Gresham. Hewett, Mills, Kerridge, Kennedy, Papley and Menadue.
Have Wells and Libba as popular mid pricers.
Also have Grimley just played his second game.
None of their premiums have had injuries from what I seen.
There is some chance they simply felt no need to make a change so far as odd as it looks to us.

I agree though, if I do not see any of Menadue, Davis or some cash cow types that look to be done traded for Josh Smith or Mason Cox next round I reckon the person that set team up has not been attending to it.
Having said that, it is awesome to have all 30 trades still there at this stage.

I think one way to confirm whether or not it is a ghost ship would be to check whether there are any other configuration changes (not just trades) from one week to the next.

If they're not changing their C/VC/emergencies, especially over three weeks or more, I think it adds a lot to the argument that they're simply not tending to the team.

I agree with Bomber and Oz though, we should know soon enough :)

I did not take note of what I saw the week before when looked at team but fairly sure it was all the same. Having said that Dangerfield C and Hewett E is not exactly crying out for needing changed based on looking at how that team is going.

Laird, Weitering and Libba are in their squad. Given two of those guys are out and Libba under a cloud any team owned with a coach attending it would certainly make a trade and/or some other changes in this next round.
