I'm sure glad someone is giving Westy the chance in the bigs, will this affect his education scholarship he receives from the Dub? What is the status of Luke Moffat has he made the move to US College or does he still have to make that decision & when. One more for you Regan, do you know or have you heard of the fan that is suing Prospera Security?, I'm at almost every game & I've never seen anyone display those antics!!
