If your Prop is Hungry, get him food. If your Prop is Thirsty, get him Beer. Because if your Prop isn't happy, then he won't play, and if he doesn't play...you gotta play Prop...and YOU DON'T WANT TO PLAY PROP! TRULY.....God's Country. |
During a match in the Land down Under, Prop Dan Crowley dislocated his jaw. In a post game interview he was quoted to have said, "It'll be alright, it's just a bit hard to eat, so I'll have to keep drinking." During a recent match in Washington,DC, prop John "Montana" Thomas was punched in the jaw by his own teammate. The other Pac RFC prop was swinging at the other team's hooker and missed, sending Thomas to the ground with a dislocated jaw and 18 stitches. While on the ground Montana was quoted with saying, "What kinda fucking stupid idiot punches his own teammate." Wrong place at the wrong time I guess.

Woy Woy Tour The tour started, as all great rugby tours do, at the Macquarie Uni sporting fields, with about 20 young men at their physical peak, gathering to take on the Central Coast Powerhouse of rugby, Woy Woy Bay. With only 12 seats available on the bus, several cars also made the journey up the coast, with Rabies unlucky enough to drive the bus because he was last to grab a beer. So off we took on what looked like a pretty quiet bus trip to play a game of footy and a few beers afterwards. Well that’s how it was until we hit the F3 at Hornsby, where Nooney thought he’d be a smart arse and call for everyone on the bus to skull, because we went under a bridge. He then jokingly said that everyone should skull at every bridge we go under and cross over. You should have seen Fatty’s eyes light up when this was called, being the reigning Guzzlers Guzzler, he was keen to show some of the young colts how to drink. You just don’t realise how many bridges there are on the F3 until you drink at every one of them - Oh how good was the Mooney Mooney Bridge. With many skulls and several piss stops later, we finally arrived at Umina High School to a footy field that had more rocks and dirt than grass. As the temperature rose to about 34 degrees and with most of the Beacons pissed, we couldn’t have hoped for a better preparation as we ran out for the warm up game against Ourimbah. After a fairly slow start and an early try against us, we rallied strongly towards the end and managed to salvage a draw, with Jonesy picking up a try. MACQUARIE UNI 5 - OURIMBAH 5 As we sobered up and acclimatised ourselves to the heat, we were ready to tackle Woy Woy in the main game. One quote overheard by the Woy Woy coach was "Gees mate, I’m sure glad that Rabies, Addo and Fatty aren’t playing, we’d get flogged with them out on the field". After a steady start by Uni, with some good field position, Woy Woy were able to score a lucky runaway try to give them the early lead. With several Beacons playing on despite injuries, it looked as if we were heading for a loss. But we hit back strongly with the forwards securing great ball for many phases and the backs making good yards out wide, we eventually crossed for a great team try, with Corradi scoring (rumour has it this was not the only time he scored for the weekend). This was a great effort in both games, overcoming the heat and alcohol to notch up two draws. MACQUARIE UNI 5 - WOY WOY 5 After a quick dip in the ocean, we headed down to the pub at Woy Woy to join the locals in a few beers. Whilst it was still early in the night some of the highlights include: · Chewy trying to go drink for drink with Woopy and failing to go past 9.00. · Mac Uni losing the boat race to a well drilled Woy Woy outfit. · Young Junior joining in the festivities, leading everyone in the illusion song. · Politely been asked to leave when we sang ‘The Flag’ and ‘ Who’s that Man’ for about the tenth time (we also said a few things about Woy Woy that the locals didn’t like). Nobody really cared because it was only 10.09p.m. and so we headed back to our place of residence ‘The Ocean Beach Hotel’ to hit the night club. I can’t say much more than the Beacons really shone, all eyes were on us as we hit the dance floor with more vigour than a Richard Loe rucking. We were paid the ultimate reward when the DJ gave us free t-shirts and CD’s and invited us to any of his gigs. Not too much more og the night can be remembered apart from Big Gussy’s great co-ordination to do the bus stop better than anyone there. As far as the Corradi incident at the nightclub goes, all that has to be said is that what happens on tour stays on tour. A big thanks must go to Jon Sleeman and Big Gussy for organising the trip, and it was great to see so many new boys on tour - Tim, Chewy, Junior, Hattas, Tim, Dicky & Ian - we look forward to seeing you at all the other big events planned for this year. | |||||||||||||||||
