No sign of Randall - must have a modelling commitment

No sign of Randall, I think it's because this week is the start of the Milan fashion week.

 

[Fluffy]

I will not be beaten

 

[c_eagle]

Too slow fluffster.

Dunley to play a full game and Burns. I hate to say it but this could be a threepeat

 

[byso]

Steve Matai, what the hell is he doing in the side?

 

[DVS Matt]

Steve Matai, what the hell is he doing in the side?

because Hill isn't 100% and Matai is better than Stephenson!

next question?

 

[byso]

OK Matai, offers nothing and lacks discipline, I hope he stays quiet and just plays footy.

 

[Matabele]

Who is Michael Michael?

Doesn't he play for the Brisbane Bears?

 

[PJ]

Mal Michael!

 

[Fro]

thats his brother Mal, Very talented sporting family the micheals.

their sister Effie is one of the Aerobics oz style girls

 

[Matabele]

I know it's Mal Michael.

Seems we have a new skipper though.

Interesting that the standard of the club's media releases are at their usual parlous levels.

I'd imagine we're a laughing stock over at Fairfax. Even Sherlock is probably having a chuckle.

 

[Fro]

If you'd know that then you'd probably aware of the Brisbane Lions too

 

[Matabele]

Yep.

I was just trying to act as dumb as the media release.

 

[Fro]

Actually maybe Mikey Mike is a rapper turned actor like Marky Mark.

He needs to work on his portrayal of an NRL footballer though
