Nice one mate! I just checked the time.... yep you got me!:) Funny how something as shocking as that can make your head spin and rational thought go out the window.....

10/10 for originality.

Now let's wait and see which newspaper reporter has an article with the rumour that Searle is being courted by the AFL. ;)

Someone who got home after an all day drinkathon and read the post when he could barely stand. Thanks DeeGan, when I first read it a few days ago, you got me hook line and sinker. :D

What about Eddie Jones at the Broncos training session? That wasn't an april fools joke. That was sad. Someone has to save the REDS. It may as well be the Broncos and Wayne Bennett because nobody else from union can do it. Go the League. LOL.
