Go team!

Good fight from those Titans who won, superb average. Happy to take the win though.

 

[Titanic]

Thanks guys for the effort, Luke was ill and didn't relay the message to Mark and good win Ninjas ... well deserved.

Ps Willow. I used the Pink Poodle in deference to some ancient inclandestine soirees (can you remember that neon ad with the dog pulling the nappy down?) and in lieu of where they were last reportedly seen jumping the back fence
