yorkinoz Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Yes sad news, I will miss reading his posts, you could tell he was a rugby league enthusiast by what he wrote, and he did mentionin the past that he had some health issues. Rest in peace John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
