Fair point, taken like a man. I was alluding more to the phenomenon of the best players gravitating towards the best team in order to get high class international competition. Happy to acknowledge that Shotgun did the community spirited thing with the youngsters last year, and partly because you did we now have a relatively healthy (but delicately balanced) situation at the top of British Ultimate, with two or three teams able to compete for honours, something we have not had for many years. It would be a shame to tip the balance in one direction or the other. > May your socks rot.
