Australian Kangaroos. Hop in here too...

[eloquentEEL]

thanks for letting me know c_eagle. it's working for me.

can others please try it and let me know if it's working for them?

Willow, is it worthwhile informing the ref that it may not work for them and offer to PM the contents of the spoiler to them if required?

 

[TooheysNew]

It doesn't work for me either - it's because of the formatting in the box. I could fix it but I don't want to edit your post.

 

[Willow]

Works for me.

The idea is to let the ref read it Dilmah so I'm sure its OK. And you are part of the Aussie squad.

Its all out in the the open and I'll inform ref and opposing captain.

Cheers.

Dilly, I'd say it's a Firefox thing. I got a JS error in Firefox.

Just FYI Willow and all that my article concept has been well formulated now and I just have to put it into 750 words or less. Well on track for my post by tomorrow night. Good luck everybody else and let's hope we can turn around our last result.

UPDATE

State of play:

1. Willow (Bluebags) - ready as ever
2. Azkatro (Panthers) - ready as ever
3. Wal (Sharks) - IN
4. Mr Angry (Rhinos) - cool mon
5. The Colonel (Eels) - OUT
6. I Bleed Green (Raiders) - OUT
7. c_eagle (Pirates) - IN

Reserves:
8. Raider_69 (Raiders) - has one ready in this thread
9. eloquentEel (Eels) - IN
10. Prince Charles (Pirates) - might be right

It's tight...

 

[The Colonel]

Sorry guys....... the new addition to my family has made life a little more hectic at the moment so time hasn't been as available as one would like......

 

[c_eagle]

It'd be really disappointing if we don't field a strong full team. I wonder if Princey is keen for a last minute call up?

 

[Willow]

OK, I'm in.

That means three to go. We have one in R_69's post here. We should be right with both Azkatro and Mr Angry warming up on the sidelines.

Having said that, if Prince Charles has something ready, send it to me by PM and I'll make the call. Cheers.

 

[Robster]

hehe good luck Willow, we would love a victory over your lot

 

[Azkatro]

Done and dusted.

 

[Willow]

Great stuff Azkatro.

Noted a small spelling error:

hatcback instead of hatchback.

Stand by Prince. Looking over it now. Cheers.

State of play:

Mr Angry did a hammy in the warm up so I've got R_69's reflection coming in from the clouds.

In the mean time I have PMd Prince Charles to replace the Colonel. the Prince has something done - I read it in my PM. he just seems to be offline at the moment.

[Mzilikazi]

Go the Aussies!

 

[c_eagle]

We needed the entire squad just to finish the match. It's going to be tight imo.

 

[Willow]

Its all in but its up to the opposing captain and referee to accept the final proxy post. I've sent a PM to both. If all is OK, then its 7 v 7 and game on!

Well done everyone. Have to say that jumping through hoops was never so much fun.

 

[Willow]

Well we did it guys and have retained The Tawera Nikau Cup for another year.

A great team effort with all 10 players being required in the end. Very tense but I wouldn't have it any other way. lol

Thanks to one and all for putting in those extra yards. Top effort everyone.

Congrats to fellow Aussie man-of-the-match c_eagle. :thumn

Result:
Kangaroos (595) d. Kiwis (575)
MOTM: half, Willow & c_eagle

And that win I'll retire as Kangaroo captain. Its been great for the last couple of years and I'll be available to play if lucky enough to be selected... but its time to hand over the captaincy to someone new in 2006. I hope it brings as much enjoyment for the next person as it did for me.

Cheers.

Scandal!
