Re: Bytel to debut!

In the 'hubchat' video I just posted in the 'Ashes' thread, Ratts has good things to say about how the young fella had used the 'scratch matches', at Noosa, to improve the inside/outside balance of his game (it was his outside game Ratts wanted to see him improve, which he obviously has).

Obviously if an entire team's lost goes down with the virus, then it's a problem. But then realistically they just need to suspend the season for 2 weeks until they're good to g...
