You summed it up well mate.
Like you, looking forward to seeing Rance, Vickery and Nahas live, have high hopes for all three of them!
Looking forward to seeing Thomson and Hislop also in the flesh against a hard nut midfield. I think both these boys will prove their worth in our team.
Was hoping to also see Post and Putt but unfortunately that will have to wait, personally would of left out Schulz for Post and rested Simmonds for Putty.
I will be hoping amongst hope our key core players get through unscathed, but even a skeptic like me (seen too many false dawns at Tigerland) has a hint of excitement, after all, yellow and black is in my veins, and my world knows it!!! ;D
