thought you guys would like to know that ben black turned out for the bears again last night. think they played aspley in the curtain raiser to the titans broncos game at suncorp. black scored the bears opening try, a solo effort from 10 metres and had a hand in the second and final try. also of interest adrian vowles, he of cas fame who i think is ceo came out of retirement to play due to 5 back row injuries!

Ahhhhhh yes. Ben Black. The club's standoff in the season we were 10 minutes away from relegation to NL2. Great step in the right direction

ahh yes Ben Black also in the 2005 Squad that were five minutes away from beating cas in the playoffs

Ahhhhh yes. The 2005 season. One of the worst seasons from a spectacle point of view in the history of our great club. Ahhh yes.

I'm forming a petition to get him flown over to help fight for a top 4 spot this year. Can I count on your signature Tony ? You know it makes sense. He was such a livewire - turned the game on its head many a time. Come on Tony - sign up. Join us

I will help you to get him over there

That'd be great !! Inject a bit of urgency and pazzazz into our lacklustre displays !! Sorry Tony, I just have to disagree with your sentiments. He would be a great addition.

Danny Jones could do the same if only he was given the chance.
