once upon a time a visit to TWF left one with an over supply of juicy rumours to dine out on for a week or so, or at least to engage in faux outrage and sanctimonious piety over.
This year, nada, nix, rien, nothing. The doors have been closed, the dirty linen hung inside, the Quislings shot, and the disseminators of gossip lamentably missing in action.
However, by means of highly skilled forensic inquiry, and the application of a cauliflowered ear to each available keyhole, I've managed to glean a few titillating snippets to share with you.
Which club has had it's Junior funds inexplicably reduced to the tune of over $70,000 and has preferred to keep the mystery in house and wear the loss rather than (apparently) risk damage to its reputation?
What happened at last week's Cockburn (Southern Lions) Sevens that resulted in a team being disqualified from the preliminary final?
Has a certain club, which spent a considerable sum on recruiting last season, and so pissing off the players who didn't get paid as much, now found itself in a position that it, and not Rockingham, is likely to be giving up it's Premier Grade position to Joondalup?
Has a schism occurred between the President of a highly successful club and some of its senior officials, sponsors and long time supporters?
Has a certain club "stolen" two highly rated New Zealand colts, related to the former president of another club, from right under his very embarrassed nose?
Has Rumour Monger died?
