Not so sure about Macani, as has been said he's got loads of pace, but so did Richard Francis for those of us old enough to remember, if you get my drift.

So he can't catch then?

A mate of mine ran into Richard Francis a few years back while on business in the middle east. Seems he's doing alright.

My lad told me that Garry Lo told him back home in PNG if they are wanting to marry somebody, they have to buy her family a cow before they can get married. I'm sure we could adopt a heifer in PNG as a signing on gesture for his parents

There's a few on the terraces we could donate.

Doubt smith is being influenced by the time he spent in London.

Dunno if anyone else didn't know or was bothered but Jon Magrin was Jon Wallace previously. I only mention it cos I remember the name and it's the same fella.

I did not know that. I actually wondered what had happened to Jon Wallace.

Now I know that, I actually know who he is.

Bloody Southerners and their funny ways. Blokes changing their surnames? Wouldn't get that in Yorkshire. Unless you're a metrosexual Kiwi that is...
