The Groob is in second place, but 45 points behind Bluebottle, as we approach the run-in.

He was a spry young 109 when I first picked him
I'm not going to catch the leaders, but I now have one foot on the podium.
I'll shortly be emailing players for their 2025 lists, so please start thinking. The Archive page (see below) is a good place to start if you want some inspiration...
