Just caught Vern Reid talking with Peter Vlahos on 6 PR.

Great little interview, main subject was the acquisition of Andre Pretorious. They also touched on James O Connor and he mentioned that they expect to wrap things up between now and the start of the Tri nations, Force have put their offer on the table but it is a complex negotiation with the ARU still doing their work, so we can only sit back and wait. He also mention John Mitchell has learned a lot from last year and remains the head coach, and to use his words is "jumping out of his skin" to get going with the new season.

The interview sure warmed me up on cold afternoon, and I cannot wait for next season, but look forward to seeing Pek run on together with the other boys tonight and over the next few months first.
