Midnight Caller Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (1) Speaking from the pocket! Epatante, Al Boum Photo, Tiger Roll, Wapiti. Didnt back him, but Champs performance in the RSA (I think it was). (2) Hope to come out of the bubble this year. (3)The Russians are coming! (4)Congrats Pete and Hesi for knocking up the ton before Christmas, was a little worried when #1 Plumber was playing a very "straight bat" in the nervous ninties, but night watchmen Reilly(spelling?)came in to take the baton on.I would have thought "number 2's"Plumber would have been odds on to bat next for obvious reasons. But who should step out of room 101? And at any olds odds but Von!🥳 Followed by a few other familiar faces.👍.Hope you all on RP have a great year and land a punt or two. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
