YES!
I know I have said this a few times this season. BUT I almost put the Rebels to win by 3 and instead with the Tahs. Not that it matters as I am so far down. Just pleased the Rebels won.
Gmpfffff, my Bru is in tatters…. hehehe
85 @ grootblousmile:
Sounds like I missed a good 2nd half. Well missed most of the 2nd half. Still in this teleconference, so boring these teleconferences sometimes. Thanks for keeping me company with your commentary gbs.
