Opening post

I can't believe he hasn't been approached. That sounds shifty to me. I bet he has been unofficially in some ways and he has rejected the idea.

I've mentioned why ballances patriotism isn't how we wish it would be before

I still don't believe he hasn't been approached , makes no sense on any level. I'd believe it if he wasn't playing Logan cup but he is and would have been asked in some form

Perhaps houghton has been asked and has answered on gazzas behalf?

Exactly, they may not have sat him down with a contract and a pen, but he will surely have been sounded out...

but we can’t really get him to play here against his will.


Of course you can it's called blackmail, either that or brain-washing we need to get a hold of our friends in North Korea to find out a bit more........ :D :D

Well its clear that Ballance does not buy any of tha unofficial "sounding out" Ask Vusi who is now walking around with a pen and paper to make sure he is not duped again. ZC have to approach him OFFICIALLY and state their intentions and give him certain guarantees.

Yes, Vusi may be the one most happy with Matsi getting a run. Now every man and his dog are calling for Vusi.
