Yes great cover pic certainly.

Not worth 10,000p.

Yep our old "friend" David Kinvig I believe.

Yep you're totally right Gazc but you have to take them and keep your fingers crossed. Jye had it rough last season with rain-offs and no reserve option. I still think he could make it.

Young Josh Pickering is picking up some pretty impressive scalps in the Aus Champs. Might have a decent chance of making it over here. If he follows in the footsteps of Max Fricke we'll all be mighty pleased. (Well maybe not "all"!!)

The EU do!!

Decent effort! 7/10

Good effort - just the last line that doesn't quite fit!!

Yep - collateral damage!!

Yep that's the remix version!!

I have wiped all recollection of Argentina 1978 from my memory. Though I still have Ally's single!!

You put bits of paper in the fizz?

Post saved.

Et tu Brute!! (Very classical!)

Highest average so obviously the best!

I don't think a thread on here is "official" though.

Where are you seeing this?

But if you go down the "young" route you rule out the late starters. It's not manipulation. There were rules which are apparently being followed. And Mitch is only 26. Danny Ayres was 29 when he got the job last year and as for Tiger Louis!!!

Mark Loram was born in Malta. I won't go even down the Tai Woffenden route!!

5.03 to play with. I believe new Aussies are now on 5.0. But of course since it's us he might come in on a 3.0!!

Yep all spot on!! So Mark and Josh have come in as 3's or even lower? Bonzer!!

Well both Riss boys plus Cleggy have got a fair bit of improvement in them. And I would expect Smiler and Alfie's namesake Ricky to both add a bit to their averages. So then it's down to whether our other Aussie and ex-Aussie can keep to their averages. So not the strongest team we've ever had at the start of the season but should be flying high come the second half.

How knowledgeable you are. Mark Riss is at reserve until his average gets too high. Then Cleggy or Pickering.

I preferred it when there were vultures races before the match to decide the reserve!!!
