Comment #687Toonali is purely and simply a very tidy player.. just grinds away and does everything with little showmanship…just grind grind grind.

Comment #695Will be interesting to see De bolle get on. He had that bad concussion last season and was out for ages but before that he was showing promise.

Comment #696And when the ball comes to Toonali, we never lose momentum…he passes it on very quickly and 9 times out of ten its always forward …he’s gonna be mint!

As Wor lass is from the South of France, such culinary delights are most definitely banned from our abode haha that being said, I bloody love haggis with neeps and tatties!
TTT
Very interesting line up! Young Murphy has played well in preseason, how’s he shaping up against higher quality opposition? Same with young Miley and Anderson? Anyone staking a claim to be in for a shout next weekend?
