Controversy surrounded the game even before kick off with Dinner Suit selected at full back yet upon arrival Sam Fortey was slotted into the 15 jersey and Dinner Suit moved out the wing. Despite a full on media and Facebook blitz Kellie Davies was unable to sway Coach Jenkins in his decision. However she had her revenge when due to Cameraman Reynolds unavailability Kellie took on his role and manned the video for the game. Apparently 80 minutes of Dinner Suit in every frame ( doing his hair, adjusting his socks, brushing dirt off his jersey , admiring his pecs etc ) was just too much for Coach Jenkins who was last seen in earnest discussion with President Sturg.

Spaghetti superstar Julio Spagbowler was also in the news this week when he tried to buy the club’s bar on Thursday night. Apparently he has great plans to turn it into a spaghetti & pasta venue. Head barman Wadey could not be swayed even by Spagbowler’s producing his silver piggy bank whilst offering 20c and 50c coins as deposit.

Oh yes let’s now talk football…The game got off to a pretty slow start with some weird refereeing decisions. Tries began to come after we finally got a few breaks from the overzealous man in the middle. Peter Steele had a great game and was ably supported by Josh Meadham. Great to see Conan back on the park and wearing 65% of the correct game day kit. He can only improve and make the manager’s job less stressful.Tommo in the unfamiliar role of 7 got through a lot of work and that Randwick bloke Maxie was right behind him. Everyone seemed to get their hands the ball with 9 tries being score. Our goal kicking was abysmal ( see above) however some attempts ( Oatie’s for example ) did liven up the crowd providing them with some comedy. We ended up converting 2 from 9 showing how much we missed Speedie’s talent.

Next week its Woy Woy at home
