I remember when I was stationed in the Solomon Islands in 1942 to ward off the Japs, all the kids would be crying "Dally Messenger! Dally Messenger!".
The news got there pretty slow in them days.
All they wanted to do was play rugby league, yet they had not actual football.
What would they use?
Dead Porcupines of course!
They'd kick those Dead Porkys from sunrise to sunset.
We then got moved West over to the Kokoda Trail, and we were gifted their very best Porky Ball.
We were honoured.
We arrived in PNG to the noise of "Dave Brown! Dave Brown!" (they were more up with the times)
And the long history of the Western Pasifika Porcupines was born.
We expect an approach from the NRL and Perth to be forthcoming, and a bygone conclusion.
