Disagree, Chris Tops all them young 'n' old chaps by at least 13.25%, they are top jocks....but the only one who can beat CWJ is the man himself The closest to Chris would be Noel the Maori Harris. These two guys are perfect examples of balance and inventiveness. hedley and Insider 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
