THIEF! LARCENIST! BURGLAR! HEISTER! SHOP-LIFTER! PURLOINER! DEFALCATOR! SWINDLER!



Thievery. Larceny. Burglary.
Three watchwords of the day. Or so Dirk and Unit would say after George and Bravo stole their god given tries right out of their hands. Notwithstanding the blatent missuse of the ball by our 'kickers' in trying to convert our 5 tries, all of them were joys to behold. New Brighton did take the opportunities presented by the small number of errors, but overall, the forwards played tight and kept control.
Nervousness may have affected our lineout throws, but most of them were on target. Much like our goal kicking attempts. That is, if the target was to the right and forward of where the actual goalposts were. Anyone know when Mehrts is coming back?

Let's not mention Dorothey's Ruby Slippers that Heath was wearing, but instead concentrate the wig Nicky wore. Either I'm getting older and more set in my ways, or the Team is getting stranger by the season. And who would have imagined Pieman coming back? Or Sonny Phil Hughes reaching 100 games, or Lumber thinking ten seconds on the field and getting a bit of mud on his arm constitutes a full game? I know. Bizzare. But hey ho, we live in strange times.

A couple of incidents need to be mentioned. Dean dislocated his shoulder and was tough and popped it back in on his own without the use of medical personnel or medications and that's the official story. And Uli pretended to be knocked out or some such minor medical misadventure. But he shook it off as he always does.
Talk back at Keasty's did mention how old some people were getting.
And speaking of Keastys, a good turnout overall, but those who weren't there were noticed. So let's keep up the attendance.
