Sam Lane - get your facts right

So is Brad Dick now in trouble for dragging the clubs name through the mud too?

This illustrates perfectly how media incompetence, and refusal to base their comments off any facts can be damaging both to our club, and to our players personally.


Brad Dick's poor family is probably thinking "what the bloody hell did we do to deserve this?" I would also wager that a few people who may not have followed the story earlier in the year, have heard Brad's name mentioned and just assumed the story to be true.


We always hear calls for the club to start getting tough....we'll id like to see the club start getting tough on shit like this. Its damaging, its incompetent, and in this instance...its just pure lazy. We should be pushing for printed corrections in situations like this.


Hell, they drag our boys over the coals for making stupid mistakes...its bloody well high time we started responding in kind.

That's fair enough, but I think this kind of thing spreads throughout the media, regardless of the gender of the journalist.

Great post Zakal, I agree 100%. It's one thing to make a silly mistake when reporting, but when that mistake makes someone look bad unfairly, it's 10 times worse.
