A cool spring breeze was blowing across the open plains of Narrabeen last evening and with it brought the return of two leaders of men. That breeze also finally delivered the Waratah and thus commission can be paid to BBB. Much needed with the summer fashion season ahead of us. BBB likes to be a sharped dressed man.
The line up was a good one and needed to be. The opponents were also undefeated and had scored 35 tries in just 3 games and had only let in 9.
With apologies from Milt, Jonty and the Locksmith the team sheet looked like this:
The Chairman
The VC
Supercoach
HOF
Rookie
BBB
B1
B2 [The Waratah] Note he is un-financial at this time
FMJ
Milt was called off to a sponsors function at the last minute. We hope Penfold's will take up the 3 by 3 year extension due to the big man's dedication to their products.
The Locksmith was called out to catch a wild bear deep in the Forests of Duffys and he hasn't been heard from since. We hope the bear is recovering well.
Jonty....well I have been reliably informed that there is a timed lock on his hyperbaric chamber and it wasn't set to open until 3pm Thursday. I hope is iPad still has battery life.
With this elite playing roster the Toucher's struck early and maintained a lead throughout the game. Had it not been for some phantom touches by the opponents, the score line would have seen 3 more tries added to the official 7-3 scoreline.
One of these phantom touches was on thyself. What it has done, is break my two game scoring streak. It may come as a surprise to some but I have not had a game scoring streak above 3 games since 1987. Oh those were the days, a full head of hair, no debt and no guts spilling over the tight shorts.
But I digress....
The OT's had heard wonderous things about the man BBB quoted was 'a former Waratah'. But its the delivery on the paddock that anoints a Toucher and it was unanimously voted in the Players Player awards that B2 did. He was everywhere. The Chairman was enthused by his efforts, especially on and off the ball and through the middle. With contract negotiation's already underway with other touching competitions, The Chairman saw this new Toucher as another piece to the puzzle for the corporation. It was later stated that B2 had carried a debilitating injury into the game due to a rough encounter taking on Lions in the fields just north of Sydney.
His statement of carrying an injury into the game saw him incur a breach. Toughen up, at this point in the season all Toucher's are carrying injuries. You don't hear any of us whining.
The VC did take his own soft tissue injuries into the game but his opening try was one of the best seen in 4 years of Touching. Late in the game the crowd rose in fear when he came crashing down due to his multiple injuries.
In the diagram below we see the VC in all his glory just before he collapsed to the turf in a screaming heap.
His body has had enough and the VC has been given next week off. The corporations player recovery budget allocation is being used to send him to a Spa in Queenstown to receive multiple sessions of deep tissue massaging. Lucky bugger.
The Rookie wanted to deliver on what will be his last sighting for three weeks as he his off to do some high altitude training in the states to improve his fitness. I don't think sitting in the back row of the Philadelphia Eagles stadium counts. But to each his own. Rookie mixed it up in the clash last night and accepted a roving commission and spent a lot of time in the middle of the park. Some might say it was to get off that damn wing in defence, but I don't support that theory !!!!
B1 was mercurial in his performance. I don't really know what that means but it sounds impressive. I would check wikipedia but BBB has before stated he does't like me doing that.
BBB locked down another two tries to come back from a below par performance the previous week. You just felt he had a point to prove and also show off to his mate B2.
The talk of the town was the return of The Chairman and HOF. After recuperating in the pacific paradise, Hawaii, the two veterans delivered again. HOF has some tweaking to do on his wing play. Rookie has offered to provide some online tutorials. I am just checking his accreditation to offer such advice !!!
The Chairman had brand new boots on his hoofs and he was only too happy to tell you all about them. What is did for him was channel a great from the past. On one occasion that he saw a gap, like a rat out of a sewerage tunnel, he flew and did something that saw the crowd say only what they could say to describe his running style "CAMPESE "
Without wanting to incur a breach I must apologise for my own performance. I have booked myself into the House of Mirrors this week and I will take a long hard look at myself.
Please take the time to answer surveys on new nicknames for B1 and B2 alongside this page.
Yours in fear of being dropped from the playing roster

NEW @ 1.07pm:
A correction has been requested and granted to HOF. This writer wishes to retract any comment made that may imply that HOF's wing play in defence was anything but brilliant on the night of the 16th of October 20013 between 7.10pm and 7.50pm.
After receiving correspondence from HOF this afternoon
"I get a bit touchy when my wing defence is critiqued, cant remember the last time I let a try in on my wing. I'm a solid as Les Kiss!".
I wish to confirm that HOF provided 3 try assists and was selfless in his rotation policy throughout the game.
Therefore Rookie, your online tutorial on defensive wing play is no longer required.

A player who is in the form of his touching career is SuperCoach. I don't know what off-season process took place but it should be bottled and sold on Amazon for $19.95 per 200ml bottle, with free shipping in metropolitan areas.
It should be noted on the bottle though that it can cause half time fluid loss. On that point it was good to see North Sydney Bears great Don McKinnon join us at half time !!!!!
