A summer of dis-content

With summer drawing to a close i felt it timely to review the time since three peat 2012 was declared and look forward to 2013 where we see Australia in an election year and the OverTouchers in a year of leadership transition.

In February we discovered that the Vice Captain had undertaken to demonstrate his premiership qualities at a tired old local touch footy get together. Attending such an event whilst under contract and without the approval of the third party participation sub-committee chaired by Big Man Milt, has him in breach.

Pouring more salt on the ramifications of his juvenile behaviours was that he tore the calf muscle off the bone whilst trying to cover his teams mates mis-read on a defensive lapse.

Will the VC be capable to be ready for game 1 ??? Whilst there are un proven reports of him riding a 200km road bike ride in record time, it's his ongoing mis-direction of energy that is upsetting the Chairman in these off season unsettling times of new TV contracts and the upcoming drugs scandal sweeping the world of premier sport.

Meanwhile in the bowels of the OverToucher management world the Rookie is manoeuvring for the vacated spot on the leadership group with his call for unity in the time of worry over the VCs injury. His words, whilst inspiring, were clearly coated with a thick gooey glaze of political Machiavellian inspiration.

With the Chairman preoccupied in ongoing contract talks and the re-development of his palatial grounds he has had no time to dwell on the ongoing back room brawling of his leadership group.

Oblivious to all the fuss and in some way putting his head in the sand, the Locksmith took up a role in the mining in Fiji over the warmer post Christmas months. Finding solitude in the tropical reaches of the pacific, concerns of the newly formed integrity commission are that he has fallen for the dirt tasting, spit enhanced, mouth numbing brew known as Cava. We wish him well in his recovery.

In other player news we hear that Harro the HOF, remains caught up in Mexican aerial football celebration of the Sydney Ducks. A hospice has been approved for funding by the Retirement sub committee.

We fear for early signs of dementia in Kiwi as he mis-judged the season opening of the NRL by 2 weeks. Clause 27 may need to be invoked by the player assessment sub commitee.

Big man milt would like to inform all those concerned of a change of address of his dwelling. It's Cave 17, Moon River Creek, Duffys Forest. We look forward to the house warming....bring your esky and rock to sit on.

Supercoach Bill has scheduled some self improvement spiritual sessions at Smiths Creek Terrey Hills. It's his dress code suggestions that are concerning some in the local community !!!

Big Bad Brett has been called on to co Chair the integrity commission with Big Man Milt. Delivering a ying and yang type environment to ensure a proper governance structure in their internal review of the taking of un-approved drugs such as light beer and low fat yoghurt.

Our resident rock fan Faz was seen walking the red carpet at the DVD release of the Foo Fighters movie 'Back and Forth'. Concerns on his dedication to the repair of his ailing hamstring remain confirmed.

Meanwhile the bullet known as Jonty has flown the red kangaroo out of mascot airport to the high altitude Colorado mountains in bid to heal his ongoing hamstring suffering. This program, whilst funded by the Overtouchers player rehab fund seems to have gone beyond the boundaries of going to see the physio down at Dee Why who will feel you up and ask you to turn and cough and diagnose sporting injuries on that level of physical assessment.

On the upcoming events schedule.

1. NRL SEASON opener at Kiwis March 7th

2. For those in need of a return to the sultry nights at the Charlie Bar at the Manly Pacific in 1989 the world wide phenom of 1927 are performing March 22nd at the Terrey Hills Tavern.

Yours in memories of my wall flower days in Manly

A Very Touching Christmas

Now that its the 1st of December, so now I can talk about the upcoming festive season we call Christmas. Any mention of Christmas before December incurs a substantial fine in my world. I am sure all of the Touchers in the corporation have written a list of the goodies they want to see under the tree. But I will come back to that as governance dictates that I write at least a few words about the game last night. We drew 3-3 ... thats it. OH I have to write more ????  OKAY G Plummer and the Locksmith almost tied for Man of the Match. However, Locky lost half a point when he passed the pill 6 feet over my head while I was showing the VC how one runs into a gaping hole to get clear and hopefully score the match winning try. I am sure I jumped but its doubtful there was much air between my size 13 cross trainers and the turf at anytime. So with the loss of that half point G Plummer got the trophy last night. Even with the 3 reserves, all of us had nothing left in the tank ...

Ignorance needed in Injury Management

Normally this article provides a detailed assessment and description of the previous nights game by the Championship team know around the world as the 'OverTouchers'. However, a dramatic turn of events had ensured this article take a different turn today. We have all heard of a players second year syndrome but  last weeks Man of the match, Rami, has broken new ground with 2nd game syndrome. Just on 8am this morning, the ball playing big man sent through the following note: "Small tear in the Achilles boys. No running for a few weeks...physio sessions for a while" Now lets just break that down but first strap yourselves in readers, this may hurt a little . I am stunned, nay, amazed how such a diagnosis can be determined within 12 hours of the games completion. Poor old Jonty had also sent through a note after last weeks game that he too had suffered an injury, torn meniscus, within a small amount of hours after the final bell. Now I thought that the pro...

Touchers new blood policy pays dividends

All good corporations have road maps for succession plans and the Toucher's are no different. With the average age of the mighty team getting higher with each day, the sub committee for Growth and Development approved the signing of a new Toucher, RAMI late on Thursday afternoon. I wanted to name him Rookie but the great Rocket has that name in his portfolio despite him being a key member of the team for 6 years. The playing roster was depleted last night, making the new signing brilliant timing. The following were away for different reasons; Scorpion/Sponsor/DG was in far North Queensland again feeding at the trough of corporate indulgence Rocket/Rookie/Leftie/ was away on assignment and wouldn't tell us were. Smith/Legsy was at home with Meningococcal, Ebola and a runny nose R. Plummer the greatest A Grade player of all time was in traction in North Shore Hospital with a hurty back BBB was of trekking to the base camp of Mt Kosciusko. Shouldn't be too ha...
