2021 Pre-Season.

Before the internet, when things weren't permanently recorded, having a flirt with a willing pretty girl was harmless fun for anyone who wanted a quick ego boost - girls and boys all did it equally I thought.
 
Pearce is getting a million a year, so a bit of this sort of thing is maybe going to make him cry on his way to the bank, but some girl on minimum wage might be having her life ruined by all this.
 
story on 7 News
The Daily Telegraph is reporting Pearce’s inappropriate text messages have also triggered a rift in the Newcastle playing group.

"the source" never argue with the imaginary and made up "source"

Which is unsurprising considering how often the Telecrap/Fox are wrong.

This is the same garbage news organisation that wrote a fake story about Steve Matai’s whereabouts and whether he was missing or not only for Matai to come out and release a statement saying he has been keeping a low profile and not on any social media, rebutting their claims while questioning their integrity.
When they realised they were wrong about everything they wrote another piece digging themselves deeper. Not only did they selectively quote his piece to make him look like he had distanced himself from the Manly club but made up another fake story about the reason why he was keeping low and away for Manly was because he didn’t like the way he was treated towards the end of his career ‘according to sources’, which was also wrong.

Now that that has blown over, unfortunately Pearce is their next target

The papers are going in hard on him now. Must be 100% true otherwise they could face a nice defamation case from Pearce.

The smoke that was around for months that many rubbished off have egg on face now.
 
There’s also not much else happening by way of NRL news, so they’ve seized on this to give them something to write about.
 
Swap Pearce with Clifford.
We'd take a massive hit on the 2021 salary cap, but in 2022 we'd have the young squad O'Brien wants and a million of salary cap to spend.
Clifford and Green in 2021 and Clifford and Crossland or a million dollar signing for 2022.

NSWRL doing their usual articles on reserve graders they think might make firstgrade this season.
Jack Johns is an interesting one.
On the form he had at the Knights 2 years ago, I thought he showed glimpses of promise, but didn't think he'd make it.
Now he is 10kg heavier, had a very good season of reserve grade in 2019, and went OK in a game of firstgrade in 2020.
I'll have to see him play before I make up my mind if he is physical enough to play second row, but I do know he is a very clever footballer who is always thinking and pulling off unexpected plays.

They still wouldn’t do it to this extent if it was made up gossip. Pearce would then have a field day with a defamation case.

Yeah most likely. I mean more that even a nothing story would be getting plenty of attention while nothing else is happening.
 
Jack is a funny one, he’s had experience in 5/8, second row and possibly lock? Depending on injuries and form he could end up as a Mann type player for us off the bench. But doubt he’ll see much first grade.

If he become a John Sutton type back rower it would be nice.
 
It’d be really cool to see Jack play some First Grade here. Appropriate that our 1st 2nd generation player would be a Johns too.
 
Don't jinx him with the 1st second generation player thing.
I've been hopeful of half a dozen guys from Sammy Stewart 10 years ago to Bobby Tracey in 2019.
I've decided to break the curse by saying Pasami Saulo is our first second generation player because his father played juniors for us alongside Buderus.
 
The plodograph have driven almost all the Pearce stuff, yeah? I know Robert Dillon wrote his piece re potential captains, but Rob doesn't exactly close ranks either.
 
It stinks of Schadenfreude, but I can't help thinking that Pearce has hardly played a good game since he settled down and got "happy".
Maybe we want the guy to be miserable and playing good footy.

They wouldn't really care about a defamation case, whatever amount it is (settlement even) would be nothing for them. Plenty of athletes/celebrities have sued them in the past for defamation and fake news about them.

The Mole had a piece today too pretty sure.. All very credible sources :lol:

Already been proven false by Barry Toohey. Didn't even know the Mole had written a fake rumour about it until I heard it from Baz haha. Goes to show how seriously people take the Mole's rumours.
