Premium Content LOOK out if Swifts speedster Godfrey Okot gives up the pre-game chips and gets serious. He might score even more than the hat-trick of tries he produced in the Bluebirds latest 60-22 A-Grade victory over Norths. I ve never really taken care of my body, Okot said, after his latest scintillating performance. When I see a gap, I just try and launch for that line. Whatever happens, you get through or you get whacked but you get back up and play. Just the love of the game. In his new team environment, Okot is happy to continue sharing in some wonderful club spirit.
