Read **** before you post.

Mate, I love reading your stuff, I really do, but do you understand why people are giving you grief?

So is Hampton considered a long term option? Meaning we wouldn't have a crack at anyone else like Hunt?

The reason I post things quickly is to provide you all with information before anybody else.
When I receive information from a person I trust that a player has signed, I will post here instantly.
People dont understand contracts, therefore instantly assume once signed it is a life binding contract and they can never opt out EVER.
Contracts nowadays are as good as a toilet paper after eating mexican food.
I try provide information first. Apologies for jumping the gun.
But at the end of the day, I dont lie. Ben Hampton has signed.

Hi S14,
I suppose the bigger reality is that a player isn't a Shark until the cooling off period expires, then comes an Official announcement ?

Thats correct. However i am here to provide a "scoop" not doing a dosit and posting **** after the officials.

Who cares. Sharky14 provided information, if people don't want to believe it, then wait for the announcement.

Hey mate, I think it's more about the amount of **** that's posted in general, rather then about your credibility. Thanks for posting what you've heard.

Not sure what your track record is like with this stuff, but I want to believe it so much that I'm all in... Ordering my Hampton 6 Jersey from Peter Wynn tonight.

Problem is most of us don't know you, so we don't know if your different from any other sports journo wannabe that comes on here claiming their in the know and claim to be the gossip king. Nothing personal. You really shouldn't care if people are sceptical or not. Doesn't stop anybody else from posting stuff on here. I don't think you do care anyway.

Being a Sharks fan has turned me into a sceptical pessimist, sure I love coming on here and speculating like anybody else, but in the end I won't believe it until I see it. This is a fan site, anybody can come on here claiming their in the know. So I've learned to read what people say and just take it with a grain of salt. That's not to say that I definitely think your wrong.

Like I said, nothing personal.

Maybe not telling people to shut the **** up etc might stop people having a go as well s14.

Let me explain how a contract negotiation works.

Clubs get in contact with the players manager, the player says yes or no, often after interest is declared.
If the player allows negotiations to continue he recieves an outline from his manager of the offer, if he signs... he has 7 days to decide whether he has made the right decision or choose another offer- So technically speaking this "backflip" period allows a player to sign 2 contracts and decide which one is right.

Ben Hampton has signed with the Sharks.

Now shut the **** up.

Sharky14 said:
Never said either had signed?

"Done deal" is very different.

Laurie Daley was simply chatting.

You sure about that?

I got no problem with 'providing information'; I got a problem with acting like you're a God amongst men.

Egomaniac trying to increase his internet penis with a very **** record.

Mate im happy to be an "egomaniac" in person with a human penis, who doesnt keep track of the apparent "**** record"
Also mate as a side note if you were paying attention. I was talking about Moga and Laurie signing... Not hampton, as he has signed.
