Nice

Just imagine starting each game with only one interchange these days.
And ******** Reynolds, what an absolute champion.

Maybe you could give us a compete summary of a year every day during the off-season, would promote some good discussion.

I'd like to try, my year 12 studdies may get in the way though, but ill attempt it
