I remember sitting on the couch with SlimPickens watching the draft and when we called out Bont's name I said I hope we know what we're doing, this has the smartest man in the room disaster hanging over it. I think it turned out ok!

Who was the dropkick bulldogs supporter in the media who really rubbished this selection?

What a great player he is. He was instrumental last night in our win. The other amazing thing is he is only 20 years old.
