Nice post OKB1 ............ really think you hit the mark.
News flash
Just in...
Dragons favourite son Paul McGregor is rumoured to have yet again scooped all the preseason awards:
Coach of the offseason
Best media performer in the strugglers category
Referees Encouragement Award for his creative submission on the redefinition of tries.
Best blender of hype and obfuscation (Dapto Lions).
Best co-recruiter of hacks and journeymen (ex-Players & Wannabee Administrators Assoc)
Best in self absorbed category (Shellharbour Thespians Hamlet medal)
Best in loyalty to favourites (3rd consecutive year)
Best in 'Delusional Selections But Jeez Thanks Anyway Coach' category (presented by the Out Of Form and Underperforming Players Group)
Outstanding Achievement in The Offseason award and life membership medallion ( Waterboys R Us Foundation)
Best in FMD, WTF & FFS elements and The Screwing Over Of Fans (inaugural award).
Commendations have already arrived, according to the local publican, for his finally passing 'Coaching 101' on his 3rd attempt, although rumour has it he failed the oral presentation at the TAFE of his paper "Linespeed: The Choker's Antidote" because he lacked conviction and descended into muttering incoherent letters of the alphabet like 'D' etc?
Local bookmakers were unsurprised as he had been firm favourite since the August dummyspits when the money came flooding in yet again
The WIN groundsman suspected the awards were nigh when Doust turned up at a local watering hole in a kilt & a 'LoveMe' tattoo on his arse - with Lovechild and a bevy of favourites with their media advisors in tow.
A reporter was apparently manhandled and ejected by a Scottish international when he had the temerity to ask if the team would make the finals or choke under the pressure of the real competition yet again. A separate scuffle apparently broke out when a bystander yelled that Mary was short priced favourite to be the first NRL coach sacked in 2018
Shit this is fun - but we'll all need relevance deficit disorder therapy when the loser finally departs this stage of fools.
