Thanks for running this Nathan. Looking forward to defending my title

Nice one Nathan..just what we need.

Good luck defending your crown Andre, I can’t believe I won this in 2014, I think that was before all the good tipsters arrived..

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...
