Izzy was good for team morale and he left a lasting impression. His value cannot be understated. Plus 32 hasn't played a XV game yet so it was no loss!

Wrong year. Hill was in the 2011 draft, I traded pick 30 in the 2012 draft - Jed Anderson

Why not just go down to the supermarket and buy a bag of spuds and then delist Harvey and Merrett.

At least then you can eat some tasty, tasty mash while your team does down the toilet.
