Rumours running rife
A rumour suggesting another Eel has asked for a release and wants out has spread from an internet bulletin board to mainstream broadcast outfits.
A user called The Worm posted a thread to the LeagueUnlimited forums tonight, suggesting that an up and coming player had asked for a release.
"Yes friends - a crisis is looming. Another good young player will today ask for a release," the post said.
When pressed for more information, The Worm said: "He looks good with a 7 on his back. His back is all we'll see if his release is granted."
With Michael Witt this week relegated to the bench in Premier League, LeagueUnlimited users were quick to speculate that it was the young half-back who was the centre of the speculation.
Whether the posting was the start of the rumour or not, it had grown enough legs last night to be mentioned on radio and Channel Ten's Sports Tonight program, although no player was identified in those reports.
The Worm said in a later post that he didn't believe the release would be granted.
