There seems to be a bit of a media beat up, or a sly attempt to promote an " angle" of a bit of niggle between Chappy and Johnson. Is there actually anything in this or is it all a load of bollocks?

I think it is true that they did have a bit of a flare up at one stage, but it is probably true of at least half the players in the competition having an argument with a team mate. Normal tabloid beat up.

it all seems to stem from this article from the paper that thrives on sensationalism above good journalism:

it got johnson's age wrong, both of their norm smith medal winning years wrong and god knows what else.
Thanks for posting the article, pinion! I loved the pics in it- the muddy one of the two boys and then the one of Chappy that looked like a scene from Karate Kid ;)
Ah, it was sad to see him with the wrong guernsey on tonight. I couldn't believe it when the game hung in the balance and he found a new set of legs after being a bit disappointing for the better part of the game. For a minute or two, I thought he was going to get up and steal the 4 points on his own!

They aren't the best of mates but it was a beat up deluxe.
