I READ Mike Critchley's Off the Ball column every week but admit my team is not his team. However, one thing we have on common is our love of our chosen sport.
In the recent column about Grand Final weekend, Mike, who is always readable, truly excelled himself. His comments were absolutely spot on about rugby union and their failed hijack of our major event. Well done Mike. I think I'll cut that week's column out and keep it with cuttings of other great triumphs!
