What Position Did You Play?

[Adolf_Spritzer]

2nd row/ lock for the mighty Albion Park Oak Flats Eagles

Cluney is doing us proud

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

Prop at League through school (Wittenberg was my hero). All Union after high school. I was a tall/slow breakaway or a short/fast second-rower and consequently never did much good in either position.

 

[ALSGI]

League - Lock, Centre
Union - Breakaway

Only played at school, James Cook High.
Brian Smith and Ian Schubert were our coaches. Both PE teachers back then.

Soccer and Judo on weekends/weeknights.

Basketball was my thing back then, played NSW Rep in State Schoolboys and many of the guys I played with became the first Sydney Kings when Basketball went pro. I coulda, shoulda but joined the Army at 17 instead!
Showing my tender age here.

I can still throw a decent dart these days!

 

[Spazer]

Fullback and centre back in the day.

Had Hymel Hunt as my opposing centre a few times which was not fun/

 

[Old Timer]

Hooker at school

Winger / Centre on the weekends

A long time ago

You might have gone better being a hooker on the weekends?

Sounds like a challenge?

 

[muzby]

Lock in league, the odd second row, and breakaway in union.

Had a few games at flanker when I filled in for the local team. Found it good fun - the coach gave me one simple job, sack the opposition fly half at any scrum.

 

[Bittangabee]

I never had the courage to play rugby due to the heavy physicality. Just didn’t have the guts to face those huge angry forwards running at me. Therefore, i have tremendous admiration for you guys that played the game.

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

League: Hooker
Union: Halfback
9 must be my lucky number that or I’m a shortarse.

How did you go against Kenny? Still reckon he's close to the best 5/8 I've ever seen.

I was coach. And I am coming out of retirement. I am working on application now. Stay calm

Sounds like a challenge?

After picking up a nasty auto immune issue I couldn't play golf or bowls anymore so was at a bit of a loss.

The kids, the beloved grandson and the bride decided to buy me a dart board and that just hung around in the shed for a year or two sitting beside the golf clubs and the bowls but I did go to Luna Park when they had the dart masters on there and had a fat time.

Was forced to retire from work so moved out to the Hawkesbury and after about 12 months finally set the dart board up in the garage and started throwing a few and late last year I joined the western Sydney comp and love it.

Looked around and got a good set of tungsten darts and whilst I'm not very good and a bit too old to improve a hell of a lot I am throwing around an average of just under 18 / dart sometimes on a good day might get up to 21 if the doubling is on song.

Managed to throw a 14 and a 15 dart leg and give a big woohoo to the opponent and luckily I have a few mates I throw against using Skype and FaceTime which is a lot of fun.

Not as good a standing on the hand on the end a loose arm in a scrum or rucking somebody out the back but I sure do see a lot of people's faces on the board at different times.

Best played with for me was a guy who may be known around here, Craig Young. And the best played against by a country mile was Steve Mortimer.
