  • Disappointed

    Here's the part on back chat they didn't hand pick from there last episode regarding Lachie Schultz.

    - Overlooked in 3 drafts.

    - Went to Bali instead of Fitness Test with Freo.

    - Walls lied about height, skin tests & beep test to RL to make sure they'd recruit him.
