jonnytraff 8 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 try him in a month or two.. if you think hes ready. if hes an headcase hes going to take a pasting every now and again,, if hes a bayer then shouldnt come out as bad but thats just a risk you take,, atb jon Quote Link to post
