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

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...
