[Brute]

Thank God for that!

When I saw the headline I thought you were going to say Steve Renouf was going to start boxing!

[Hounddawg]

Not with sugar Diabetes...Renouf for me was one of the best centres ever. I remember a friend of my sisters who apparently king hit Renouf before the semi finals 1 year, Broke his jaw, didn't really speak to him after that.

[DaSweetScience]

Didn't mean to startle you Brute.

I did read yesterday that retired AFL hardman Byron Pickett is in full training and looking to take a glove.

I am not familiar with Aussie Rules. I just googled Pickett, looks like he could make light heavyweight.
