QPQ: Done.

Overall: Great little article about an interesting subject, I find the hook very interesting (it reminds me of of the great Matt Burke playing for Australia after he was dropped by New South Wales). Earwig shows the closest is a 5.7% match to espn.co.uk. I doubt a clearer picture will be found, it is contemporary and relevant to the hook. Great read, thanks.
