Was on the tigers forum and hadn’t seen anything about it being for football reasons until now until that post. If I keep seeing it around, I’ll keep posting it because this is what happens when you have a history like AFB, it creates doubt. Just skip past it if you see it but I’ll believe AFB plays for Cronulla when he’s wearing their jersey

That was exactly the tweet posted by a twitter user who is a Panthers fan that is well known for trying to wind up Brisbane and Cronulla fans. If you want to continue to post a joke and represent it as something that actually has some basis than feel free but I am going to reiterate it's a joke every time.

The rumour was put on here yesterday and on a forum of the tigers today, so if what you say is the case, great. I’ve also around that the sharks have come to the conclusion that Hynes is a five eighth and are apparently in advanced discussions with an experienced halfback

Yes because of this bloke tweeting something that was a joke. People latch on to it thinking it is real.

It's quite obvious he posts things to garner engagement and it works.

I met Luke Keary yesterday through a friend of mine. He told me he signed for sharks before backfliiped and extended his contract with roosters. That tells me trindall, atkinson, hynes are not our future halfbacks and something is going on behind closed doors








This is off the sharks forum regarding a halfback that I mentioned. Later on in discussions it mentions that it’s an experienced halve being talked about. Obviously true what you say about the AFB rumour and more me trying to put two and two together as to how sharks could afford a quality halfback? Guess Hynes and an incoming AFB are only real highly paid players?

Isn't Keary retiring?

 

[Noitall]

Isn't Keary retiring?

Yeah. He was all but signed to the sharks before he ended up staying at roosters at last contract negotiations as the post mentions

don't we have enough halves? His failure to stand up during Moses' absence does not impress me.
