St George Dragons Coach Nathan Brown sends scouts out round the World
looking for a new 5/8 to replace the over rated and poorly performed Trent Barrett and hopefully win
The Dragons their first Title as a hybrid club. Laurie Daley his right hand man and chum chum informs him of a young Iraqi
5/8 who played in the emerging nations tournament who he thinks will turn out to be a true superstar. So Nathan
flies to Iraq to watch him train with the Bagdad Bonitos and is suitably impressed and arranges for
him to come over to Oki . Two weeks later St George Illawarra are 34-0 down at
home to Manly with only 20 minutes left. Brown gives the young
Iraqi 5/8 the nod
to go on and marches onto the field after Manlys last try , slaps barret accross the face and sends him to the sheds.
The lad is a sensation, scores 3 Tries and sets up 3 in 20 minutes, kicks all the conversions himself and wins the game for the Dragons
. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted
and the media love the new star.
When he comes off the field he phones
his Mum to tell her about his first day in the NRL . "Hi Mum,
guess what?" he says. "I played for 20 minutes today, we were 34-0 down
but I scored 3 and set up 3 and kicked all the goals and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the players and
the media, they all love me". "Great," says his Mum, "let me tell you
about my day. Your
father got shot in the street, your sister and I were raped and beaten
and your brother has joined a gang of looters, while you were having a
great time". The young lad is very upset. "What can I say Mum, but I'm
so sorry". "Sorry!" says his Mum, "I should think so, it's your bloody
fault that we moved to Kogorah in the first place!"
