Re: Your most recent purchase
A guy in Romford built it - great reputation (a Laurie Petitt of the South apparently) - we just got a duff engine, which can happen, they are all old but he is fixing it and shipping it at his expense and he has been great about it. I sometimes think a T5 would be much easier. S/S engines? I loved...

As much as i laugh at Allen and his little arms (c/o Flaps) i think he was really good today, and most times i've seen him this year. I'd say he's quicker than barrit and much better on the ball. We really can't keep picking centres for their defence alone. I wonder if Tait has an outside chance of ...

PR have it about right apart from Robson, Croft and Lawes.
We need to be looking at power locks, and croft? He's been rubbish, and it's not the injury, he's back to his previous form of being largely anonymous.
