Indeed...

Quoted from the linked article

Thomas is a former Rhinos Academy player who played for Leeds in 2003.
He also played for London Broncos' lower grades.

His other clubs have include Batley Bulldogs, Dewsbury Rams and Dewsbury Celtic.

His last appearance in Leeds was when he played for Jamaica in the Carnegie 9s at Headingley in August.

Let this be a lesson boys and girls - this is what newspaper reporters do, they take turds for stories and polish them to try and pass them off as the crown jewels for you to buy.

You need more than a pinch of salt when reading that story.


They do sound like a nice couple though.

Leeds Crown Court was told how in the disturbance Mrs Thomas's glass flew out of her hand, and hit a woman at the next table on the head. It then bounced into the face of another woman, leaving a gash in her skin.

so no intent then

The misleading headline is a grand tradition for the YEP.

I fondly remember the late 80's headline 'United sign Liverpool star!'

Ten points to anyone who can work out which Liverpool 'star' this referred to.

Absolute trash from the YEP. Tarnishes the name of Rhinos. The guy in front of me at the shop said it was disgusting so I had to point out that he was never a Rhinos player and they must be really struggling for news.

Some years ago, when Leeds Utd had a Premiership team one of the lads in the office had a season ticket and came in very excited one Monday morning as there had been an announcement at half time that they'd all want to stay in their seats for the next home game as they had a special guest performance from "An international singing star"

Elton John was touring at the time and so obviously they thought he'd be leading them all with "Marching on together" on the pitch at half time.

Half time at the next home match came and again they were all encouraged to stay in their seats instead of going to the bar/toilet etc...

And then they announced the "International singing star" to the crowd.
