[bigblueboy]

Brilliant. Love the old school approach.

 

[katmanblue]

I'm shocked

 

[Jimmyonesix]

Looking at photo Our centre is bigger than our full back -- how football has changed .. smaller leadership group also helps with team selection

 

[The Great Ian]

Voss seeing the obvious gives confidence.

[JuddgementDay]

I like this KISS principle

Go for the obvious - there’s no need to make an unnecessary false/ political/ look at us statement!

 

[thylacine60]

I'm more than happy to run with a "please don't look at us..........just yet" kind of statement............

Good decision by the club.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Got the trifecta without having to even box it.
Very, very skinny dividend though.

Smart decision. Well done to the club.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Good.

 

[katmanblue]

Can they just **** off with the contract talk for one presser?

It's their first one as VCs, and the press honing in on the contact talk already.

 

[TD2010]

So Rita Skeeter. How good might it be if journalists graduate and follow their profession, not just the dog whistle topic
