[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 871382, member: 55747"] Wow. Ok, a couple of points. 1. There is a big logic gap between your statement (the news being fake) and the rationale used to reach that conclusion (not being mentioned on Sharks or Lions homepages). It is not only understandable but also expected for neither of those parties to mention anything about this to anyone else. They are just exploring options, and it is not in their best interest to disclose anything at this point. There is no upside and there is a potential downside. In a nutshell, it is not in the Lions/Sharks best interests to disclose anything, AND they do not have to. Why on earth would they do that then? 2. I read the news, found it interesting, thought others might find it interesting too and that's why i posted it. Pardon me for trying to help with the traffic here... Although i am not as familiar with UK media as others here might be, i am reasonably well acquainted with times.co.uk and they tend to be reasonably reliable. It's not as if i used the sun or the onion. Is there a rule here at TRF that prevents me from posting these kind of threads? If you expect other posters to conduct a forensic due diligence and cross reference sources before posting you are delusional. And let's assume the worst case scenario: let's assume it is a fake news. Even in that case we will never know and the damage, if any, is negligible at best. It's just a "what if" scenario. If that wish is sincere, put your money where your mouth is. Talk to TRF staff, make a rule about it, and enforce it. I'm sure that will work wonders by encouraging others to participate. --------- A 1 minute google search threw this: ‘[I]During discussions, some of the other unions said they’d want to look at joining the Pro14 rather than stay where they are,’ Verster conceded to Cape Talk radio.[/I] Verster is the CEO of Cheetah's right? [B][U]Source[/U][/B]: [URL]http://www.sarugbymag.co.za/blog/details/going-pro[/URL] Is Sarurugbymag a reasonably reliable source?
