who'd be your first choice for 18th man, ks, statler or waldorf?

[King Salvo]

The Statler and Walorf's wanted to be the 18th player something like when Souths Vermin had a 14th player as some crowd involvement thing that the Lanky Yank Don Lane initiated along with his suggestion to change their jumper to that minties one to attract Italian immigrants to the game -same colours as the Italian flag.

Not now though as the 18th player could well be used in games under this new rule.
