Enlighten who ? do you speak for everyone now ! ...Okay I'll keep it simple but as you implied "usual supects" (which implies more than one) I'm sure the "usual suspects" would like to know your choice. As regards mine, that's easy, the Cheetahs Team Manager (Peter Schroeck) as they top the table at present! Edited July 24, 2023 by steve roberts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also nice to know that you are the self appointed spokesperson of the usual suspects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I had. but as you say I agree and you should listen to yourself more often.
