I would also um………..say that um…………..I want to be the coach this year and in the years following and ah…………I’ve had a lot of final years of my contract.

I was expecting something about this being the time of year to play young up-and-coming players, and thats why Thurstans is in the side.

Can just imagine Matty and Kinger looking at each other out of the corner of their eyes after Doms line with a 'oh ****' look on their face...and Choco slowly turning beetroot red.
 
Good stuff again ETW - the best yet due to the subtlety.

You've had a good pre-season.
