you think if this is on next year the thing and joni can do battle in the open?

at the moment i am thinking it is too soon...

Who knows though

Quite like the look of the open, anyone else fancy it?

Me I will definitely be doing one of the quailiers for this. Deadlift, farmers and log should be good events for me, so give it a bash

sending it off tommoz with cheque for manchestyer one

I'm thinking of maybe doing the novice, but thinking it might be a bit cheeky since I've already been in SSM. What do you guys reckon?

I see no problem with you doing the novice mate.

personally i think you can choose - you would do well in the novices, and get nailed in the opens, but both would be great fun in their own way

I bet there would be a bunch of novice level guys who are in a similar boat than you strength wise, so you would have equal competition there for sure. Your deadlift rocks though!

im going to go and get gravel f**ked in the opens, did the novice last year and got pissed on in the final but it seems wrong to be doing the novice now ive done a few comps.
