Guys, welcome to a new season. Ive been down at Ashfield RSL counting the hours to kickoff. there are alot of dubious campaigners still wielding the willow in 2009. During my playing days I used to look at certain players in my own team tackling bags during the pre season and know instantly that they would provide nothing to the team that season. It was my job as professional to ignore them and continue to strive to improve my own game. I never let them bring me down
1. Bryce Gibbs - Gibbs stormed onto the scene as a baby faced 18 year old with no brains. Six long years later he is still a baby faced imbecile whose 3 big headlines have been dodging cab fares, assaulting policeman and getting knocked senseless by that slug known as the Ogre. Should be working at Captain Snooze selling pillows
2. Joe Galvao - Big Joe was a cult hero in 2003. Since those heady days he has become a veteran of the bush football scene. Making a less then memorable return for Parramatta tonight, Joe will eek for 65 yards, drop a routine ball and walk from the field and iron his Wentworthville jersey.
3. Shane Elford - The Spud farmer is back in the NRL, and what a coup for David Gallop and Train Tracks Elliott. The lure of Eastern Creek Raceway, Paint ball and a future in Trap Shooting bought Spud back to his spiritual home at the foot of the mountains. Forever a awkward player. Spud will pull off a big shoulder charge, drop a bomb, take an intercept, and get run down by a back rower. All in the same game.
4. Adam Peek - Peek now plays for the Celtic Comrades in the ESL. However that won't stop news filtering through about his struggles with the pound. By my watch, every season since 2002, Peek has retired. Only to be given incentive based one year deals by desperate clubs. By mid season Peek has got his calculator out and scratched his large melon. By finals time there is a small article deep inside the sports pages of a crestfallen Peek standing outside his house arms folded. A forlorn look, a mystified kid and his ageing dog Claiming he can't afford to pay the mortgage or feed the dog. Claiming the rubbish run at 5 am every morning keeps him putting bread on the table. Look out Adam, The Panthers are circling.
5. Ben Rogers - His left foot step raised a few eyebrows last season. Notable those Brian SMith and Rodgers was jet setting down the F3 to save the fledgling Knights. My scrapbook notes tell me he was failure at Souths and Penrith, and my scrapbook is predicting similar pitfalls and failings in 2009. Save for a couple of left foot steps.
6. Corey Hughes - Cronulla have never been a particularly eye catching team. Last season they are kings of the niggle, the grind, the grubs the chicken wing, the run from dummy half, the penalty the kick for touch, the meat and potatoes style of football. They would do well in the Super 14. IN Hugues they have a grub, a grappler. Repeats of Antiques Road show seem a more attractive proposition then 5.30 kicoffs at a windswept Caltex Field.
7. Laurie Daley - After a season acting as water boy and footy show simpleton on 9's dream team Lozza is back in his comfort zone at Fox. Since his last appearance in 2007 he measurements is that the hair piece fringe has shifted between 5mm and 8mm to the left. Lozza will talk about "Job descriptions", "KPI's", "offense and defence" and continue on his merry way.
8. Travis Burns A terrier, a trier, defends well, a professional, I here you say? So Is John Morris. However when you play in the halves you need to be able to set up a try or two along the way, or even learn to kick. Burns will pull off hit of the year, make a few high shots, backchat, make hitups on tackle 5 that would make Lincoln Withers proud. However he wont set up many tries and he wont help the Cows.
9. Peter Mullholland A controversial selection at number 9. Peter formulated grand plans to rule the coaching world during his tenure as Western Force coach back in the 90s However since he has become a shadow of his lofty ambitions sitting aimlessly left to John Lang and Matthew Elliott preparing diagrams and cordials at Penrith Park. Now even that has passed him by. He can now be seen calling NSW State Cup games at Windsor Oval. Time is ticking, for a man for dubbed himself the Next supercoach.
10. Dodger League Unlimiteds most loyal poster. Always signs on for unders, masquerades as the face of the site with his team sheets, banners and studious and at times over zealous officiating. Dodger wont change in 2009, there will be a banner to celebrate Todd Paytens new fluro bikepants, a scuffle when a post regrading PNG league is misplaced, a name change, a change back to Dodger and lastly a determined and spirited efficiency on a Tuesday afternoon when team sheets are provided.
Let the games begin,
cheers guys
