White Out

With the final Grand Final line up yet to be named, the availability of star defender come goal scorer Ben White is in doubt. "Apparently Ben is going up north for a while" said Land Rovers Manager Steve Hall "he's decided that Whangarei might be a good spot to spend a few days". Hall said obviously White would be missed but negotiations were still underway to ensure that White starts in the final line up. "The lad is keen to play as you might guess" said Hall "we're huge underdogs for this one and we need all hands on deck if we're going to have any chance at all". Hall said he'd been reflecting on what went wrong in the last match and thought the fact that he wasn't playing had contributed to the defeat. "They don't call me The Cat for nothing" said Hall "I pay a small retainer for the privilege"
