It should be compulsory for thread titles to have capital letters and apostrophes. Especially for names.

But yes, this does sound exciting. Whom was it co-written by (other than Jurrah)?

I'd imagine so, given he really only learned to speak English a few years ago. I doubt he'd be able to write especially well. It's unusual for any sports bio not to have a co-writer, even if it's an uncredited ghost writer. Doesn't matter, as long as the story is true and good.

We won't be hearing from Super for a while, he will be scouting the junk mail to get the best discounted price on this book, to add to his collection...

I'll get to it eventually once I've been through the 4-5 books I've got sitting around the house. Hopefully it's a good read.

I know I sound a bit like an advert for The Age today but: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/liam-jurrah--a-story-as-big-as-the-land-20110723-1hum9.html

On the writing of the book. It's by Martin Flanagan so you know it's about the Dees and good.
