Whether players like it or not, what they say reflects on their club. But, journalists are not averse to putting leading questions to players, to get a headline. In Stooke's case, I suspect he was prompted by just such a question. I wonder if the club have the players on a tight leash, with a PR minder in tow? If they don't, they should. A simple, you don't talk to the Press without this person present (except, where they are required to do press conferences, such as TV after a match).
This is why I put the ball in the media court. They pose the questions, they write and edit the content. I think if anyone had said to Stooke, 'When you say this positive thing about the training facility, the press will re-write that to a negative thing about Broadstreet,' he might have thought a little more carefully about his words. If he hadn't already, he may now come to a negative view of who the press/media are, and that none of them, not even BB, are their friends, that any of them would sell him down the river for a fiver ...
Frankly, I am amazed anyone talks to the Press or Media. I mean, why did they HAVE to print that?
The problem for Wasps is that they have ex-players who also have a media presence, whose words are taken as being of the club, but 'unofficially'.
