I've learned to love the fibreglass scuff sheet, don't knock it till you've tried it ;)

Post by: rich041187 on July 16, 2015, 11:18:12 AM: Quite a few of the guys in this series have a fibre covering - iv seen root, rogers, stokes to name a few. Maybe its a performance sheet or something. Doesn't look great tho
Title: Re: Mystic Fatt
Post by: smilley792 on July 16, 2015, 12:10:13 PM: Both my b3 mullanator and affinity custom have had fibre scuff sheets since day one!
Prefer them to normal.

I was pretty close. If Rodgers had got out instead of Warner I would have been 100% correct. Also noticed that it's a bit quiet today. No Watson is a massive advantage for the Aussies. 4-1 for the Aussies.
