14 reasons to be Super Excited

Lachlan to Turn it on from Full Back

Lachlan to Turn it on from the wing

  1. Chris Hickey – successful club coach stepping up into the professional world promising an exciting brand of Rugby and lots of Easts connections

  2. Luke Burgess – Wallaby Scrumhalf extraordinaire and the media just can’t get enough of his eloquent discourse
  3. Kurtley Beale – took us to a lead in the final last year before fate struck oh so cruel a blow.
  4. The centres – if Tim Tam Tahu and Rob Horne can stay injury free they promise to be one hell of a centre partnership. Managed to get through AAC and Mortlock in the trial, now it’s Nonu’s turn..
  5. Al BaxTAH – Australia’s most capped prop looking for some fresh sauce for his Sheridan pie
  6. Tatafu Polota-Nau – so so mobile but can he throw straight?
  7. Sharon Flahive – Gave me a smile and a wave in the second trial match, I reckon she’s keen as
  8. Phil Waugh – the beautiful man is back and wont be leaving without the Robbie Deans trophy
  9. The Draw – pretty good this year with 7 home games and reasonable travel arrangements
  10. Matthew Burke – back home and on the staff as our new kicking coach, if he can get Kurtley ticking the scoreboard over we’ll take some beating. Rumoured by Moses to be stepping up to attack/backs coach during this season.
  11. Dean Mumm – the White Mummba now combines awesome try scoring ability with his Wallaby experience to try and fill the hole left by Vicks
  12. Will Caldwell – promising to get angry this year, I want to see some mountaineering at ruck time, do it for Rocky
  13. Scott Fava – Only Jason Eaton outperforms Scotty in the important area of facial hair development.
  14. Beers – well they’ve only VB at the SFS but it’s one small step up from Tooheys New. And with post match drinks at the Fox and Lion one can at least wash the mouth out with James Squire’s Pilsener

Wallabies meet the Queen

Nice photo this one, looks like Queeny just dropped a stinker and Mortlock is the only Wallaby able to keep a straight face.

Dean “the white Mummba” Mumm is tucking into the Vodka and Oranges, and is that John O’Neill I see hiding behind her royal highness? Dare I ask what his his hands are doing??

It makes sense for the Queen to meet the enemy, it’ll give so much more meaning to the knighthoods bestowed on the captain and coach, not to mention the OBE’s for the remaining players if they do happen to win.
