Kick to the in goal area. Think of Pat grabbing the ball from 18 foot up in the air. Gardner has used players to get lift off a few times.

Yes, but there is no reason a squad number below 25 cannot be issued to one outside the 25. Eg. 23 might be the squad number of a player but he is not within the top 25. Smith was about 34 last year but he would be classed in the top 25 players.still room for more quality. Jim

He outbid cp for WW? School geek now owns his team.

<t>It is just a rumour, now we have speculation on speculation. We have IL getting slagged, we have Hock in handcuffs being dragged to the boat, we have no return or a forced return of a player who may or may not be going. We have oodles of flowery posts without substance. Forums both sides of the w...
