-Spoke about Cotchin, Riewoldt, Lynch, Nankervis, Soldo, Balta, Chol

Was the obvious discussed?

Gee we had some crap ruckman after him, never though we were going to see a decent one again until big Nank

Was the obvious discussed?

nah it wasn't.

I spoke with Justin for 40 minutes during the day about a whole range of things and I did ask if it's a topic we can speak about.

he said it was fine but he also made some really good points.

it has been 22 years since it happened and he has been on record and interviewed many times on this topic, so if people wanted to really know how he felt and what happened they would have easily been able to find it by now.


so i decided to not raise it in the podcast and stuck to asking him about things that we haven't heard answers or stories about in the past, much more entertaining that way :-)
