I apologise for the subterfuge, but I would rather not participate in what is a rather undignified circus surrounding the former international athlete who seems to be the darling of Wheldon Road.
It's scarcely been possible to open a newspaper or browse the internet this week without seeing his name up in lights.
And it doesn't seem right to me when a man who has yet to play a game of rugby league at any level - and, personally, I remain highly sceptical that he ever will - takes the limelight off one of the brightest prospects to emerge in this country for a long time.
The boy in question is Tigers' back rower Joe Westerman, who is confirming all the potential he demonstrated during last season's National League season.
Westerman was apparently sensational as Cas shocked St Helens at the weekend.
It's early days, but to me Westerman looks like a young man who could find himself a shock selection for England in this autumn's World Cup.
The same can hardly be said of 'DC' can it?

HALIFAX looks likely to claim a role in the education of a second NRL coach pretty soon, with former Thrum Hall half back Kevin Moore the front runner for the Canterbury hotseat vacated by Steve Folkes this week.
Moore, one of Fax's initial wave of 1980s imports, would join his one-time teammate, Parramatta's Michael Hagan, in one of the top jobs in Australia.
If Moore, who has won a clutch of lower grade titles with the Bulldogs during his extensive coaching apprenticeship, is successful, it would maintain his family's domination of Belmore over the last 20 years.
Moore is the son of Canterbury's famous administrator Peter "Bullfrog" Moore, a close friend of the late Halifax president David Brook.
Moore senior also happened to be the father in law to both Chris Anderson, who took the Bulldogs to a Premiership before leaving for Melbourne in 1997, and his successor, Folkes.
If Moore does get the job, and he will need to see off the likes of St Helens' Daniel Anderson and Catalans' Mick Potter if he wants to clinch the deal, it will go a long way to proving that blood really is thicker than water.

TALKING of ex-Halifax half backs taking up coaching, it was hardly a surprise to see Andrew Dunemann's new Queensland Cup charges, Cairns-based Northern Pride, sitting pretty with four wins from four starts.
Dunemann, who spent two and a bit seasons at the Shay between 1999 and 2002 before leaving for Leeds, was always an uncompromising individual.
The Queenslander set high standards for himself, and expected others to live up to them too.
If 'Duners' didn't like something, or thought something could be done better, he generally made his opinion known, no matter how much it upset anyone else.
If Dunemann does climb into the higher echelons of the coaching business, and I wouldn't bet against it, there seems unlikely to be a dull moment.
