The Mr Invisibles of this world live up to their name when they can't gloat over harming us. He came onto these boards with a vindictive spirit, wanting to rub our noses in it, as much as he proclaimed and pretended friendliness. He was easily seen through. His pretense of reasonableness was a sham. Like the Dogs poster above who also thinks texting on forums somehow makes him look smarter than he is. And like Darwin Eel. They may even tell themselves otherwise, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Mate, that is *really* unfair to be honest.
I actually copped a 50% warning on here for being deliberately vague in regards to this issue, but there were reasons why I had to be (which are now becomming apparent). Only 2 admins on this forum have been party to this information, in order to clear my warning and explain my comments.
It SHOULD all come out in the media over the next few days. Anything that isn't cleared up I'm happy to answer once an announcement is made, based on what I know of the situation.
Trust me, I know what it's like to support a team where players have been poached or done the dirty on you. Mason? Hannant? Sonny Bill?
I'm also just as annoyed at Adrian Proszenko as you guys should be. What sort of idiot jumps the gun on a faux statement and builds up the hopes of one set of supporters, just to smash them apart again a few hours later. If I was his boss I'd be hauling him into the office and asking him to pack up his desk after that effort.
It's not the first time this guy has caused major headaches for Bulldogs supporters with the Kevin Moore saga.
Annoying for fans, embarassing for the papers.
From what I understand of the situation (and I don't work for the media) that first article in regards to Manly should never have been posted.
It's pretty crap how this whole thing has gone down to be honest. For both parties.

Can anyone imagine Mr Invisible, or the others, suddenly appearing on this forum wanting to have a friendly discussion if the tables were reversed and Manly were looking like making a key signing which might significantly weaken their teams?
Again unfair. I've been a member here for quite a while before this, and participated in other threads outside of this issue.
=============
Bottom line is that the papers may well be playing fans of both sides against each other. But this shows that the media will make up lies to sell papers.
Either one or the other article was correct, not both.
How you can be so wrong in such a short space of time (and yet unable to quote a source) leads me to be highly skeptical of Proszenko's motives in publishing both articles.
. Not comfortable in supporting a coach or players who i know 12mths in advance wont be with us.
