Well done Strats. Best man for the job. And perhaps the extra responsibility will leave you less time to make poor tattoo choices. Jesus.

His mullet is Vice-Captain.
Didn’t realise it til it was announced, but this is the right choice. It’s given me goose bumps and I can’t wait to see him and his team in action this season. Go Stratts!!
