An there would have been more if nobby was around

would have been happy to see him go after 2009, glad he never left now, he has been superb on the wing this season and looks nothing like the sometimes greedy player he was, the coaching staff have worked wonders with him

from the above this bit is the significant bit IMO:

“I hadn’t met Madge at the time, but I had a word with Rads and Waney, and they both said I’d like being coached by him,” he continued.

“They helped convince me to stay and fight for my place.

“They said that Madge was fair and that I’d get a chance if I worked hard and played well, and that’s how it’s turned out.”

read between the lines.....

Dave

I also heard that IL was instrumental in trying to get him to stay. But I know exactly what you're talking about, and I agree.

I also agree with Dave

What a difference 12 months can make! Unbeliveable.

Success story of the year definately. I admire him for the way he just knuckled down and worked hard. He's reaping the rewards in Australia now.

Good luck Daz!

He's always had a good strike ratio to be fair to him. I'd like him to maybe be given another crack at the centre position.

Maybe when George retires. I'm happy for him to be in out on the wing now though. Nobody in the current setup I'd rather have there.

I know, 2 people agreeing with Dave - staggering!

Do they by any chance have the same IP address as Dave?
