A week off doesn't mean OT's slack off

The OverToucher's are enjoying a well earned week off and it came at the right time.

After driving through the first two weeks with convincing victories. the OT's have had the chance to re-align their goals for season 2013/2014.

The core unit is looking for the return of key forces to help support the burden that was thrust upon them whilst the Chairman, HOF, B2 and others chose to either enjoy themselves or they had better things to do than be a Toucher.

My spies have been out and about and been sent as far away as Germany to monitor how each player has treated themselves during the 14 days without competition.

Jonty has been tweeting from within his hyperbaric chamber and told the world how he is enjoying the isolation of the chamber. I am stumped to know how he gets that thing through the armed guards at Optus's compound out at North Ryde.

Bob the Builder/Rookie has been going through a series of drills that Supercoach and I have given him on how wingers should mark their opposing player. I did have to shield his eyes as we watched Wolfman in the Grand Final on Sunday. 'How not to be a winger' headlined that nightmare for the off contract winger in desperate need of a haircut and shave.

Supercoach put himself into camp over the long weekend. He interned himself on the fields close to the playing fields and only popped up to catch the 1B bus to Homebush on Sunday afternoon. The wiley character has not been sighted since. Rumours he was amongst the playing group on Mad Monday down at the Bella Vista apartments at North Steyne have not been confirmed by a second source.

BBB, the professional he is, has been going through video tapes of his games over the last 2 years. He advised that me that he is looking to close out any deficiencies in his game. I told him he had one major issue, WHERE IS THIS WARATAH YOU SPEAK OF???

After 2 long weeks in the south pacific the Chairman and HOF landed back into Kingsford Smith looking tanned and re-freshed. They chose not to make any formal statements but I am trawling through Instagram in the hope I find some proof of inappropriate activity.

Big Man Milt has gone to great lengths to improve his game. So desperate is he to make himself a better Toucher, he put himself on big aeroplane all the way to European Union powerhouse, Germany. Milt is seeking to improve his touching in the beer halls of Ocktoberfest. I am sure you share my thoughts when I wish him well in his crusade.

B1 has been telling anyone and everyone who cares to listen how grateful he is to be a Toucher. I am told task force 'Feeling Up' has been setup by the local police to monitor his movements.

The Locksmith has gone to ground and cannot be contacted. His disgust at the teams in the Grand Final last Sunday had him make the extreme decision to block it out. Locky felt there was only one way to do this. Lets just hope the underground bunker at his house is well stocked. I don't see Ray Price bringing Parramatta out of the doldrums any time soon.

Last but not least the VC.....well I received no report from him so stuff him. With no contact with the communications department in the OT corporation the VC has incurred a breach. All he had to say that he was receiving deep tissue massage therapy to fix his ageing legs and I would have been satisfied. But nothing, zip, donut, so VC consider yourself breached by a Toucher.

Me? What have I been doing?

What do you think....I have been writing this article and consulting legal council as to what I could and could not write. You should have seen my first draft !!!

Yours basking in the sultry warm weather of this fine October day

Touchers snort the sweet smell of victory

It was around September that I sat in close quarters with the Chairman as we plotted the playing list for the 2016 Touchers. The roster was at 16 on that cool spring day. We thought then it was too many. We deliberated over player skill on and off the paddock. Not that anyone was in true danger of losing their accreditation as a Toucher. As our creed stands as 'Once an OverToucher, always and OverToucher'. The decision had been made minutes after the completion of the 2015 season that shall not be mentioned, that we would return to the fields of glory and bring down the wrath of redemption after 3 years in the wilderness. If I think hard, I believe that over the years there have been about 30 Toucher's in our squad. To name them all would be superfluous to the needs of this little story, plus how can I remember them all after 7 years. But the core group has been there for those 7 years and there have been ups and downs. Moments of madness many times and I will share...
