We are fortunate a number of players can play well in many positions, like Tom Clarke who has adapted well to midfield.
He is still on loan for another week and we will look to get something sorted out around then.
He is one of a number of general inquiries I have made to clubs. It's nothing more than that.
I think it promises to be a good Yorkshire derby. But we are definitely confident of winning.
He has been good in the last two games since Danny Adams became ill and it will be great to have him here for another month.
He has been a loyal servant of this football club over a long period of time and played a key role in one of our most successful eras. On behalf of our staff, players, members and supporters I would like to thank him for all he has given this club. He is a life member and as such knows full well he is always welcome around the club.
He is fantastic, he is strong, he has done a full pre-season. He looks great. And that is the hardest thing to understand.
He is a cheeky little prick but that's what we love about him.
We are, after all, at the centennial of the Olmstead park plan.
When you're starting out, you know, you have to do something on a very limited budget. You're not going to be able to have great actors, and you're most likely not going to have a great script.
When you look at the original 'Paradise Lost' film, you see three kids who can't defend themselves, being persecuted in a medieval way - witchcraft, satanic worship. It was kind of primitive.
When I worked as a newspaper photo engraver in the only job I ever had, many years ago, I'd get the train home to Pukerua Bay where I was staying with my parents. An hour ride, 16 stops, and almost always, I'd have automatic wake-up, seconds before we pulled into my station.
When I was about 14, I got a splicing kit, which means you could chop up the film into little pieces and switch the order around and glue it together.
We're human beings, and we want stories. We're always going to be entertained and have our emotions touched by humanity and by things that we recognize in our own lives. So whilst every now and again we'll be happy to watch a bubblegum film, it's never gonna be the only things that get made.
