@Stargazer I think there's always been quite a bit of guilt within NZR after Jane suffered the indignity of playing for the Magpies for a season. Good on them trying to make it up to him now.

@Daffy-Jaffy I reckon playing this time of the year on these low grade fields isnt the best idea, given most are likely hard AF.
