Pre-season week 1 ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the Sherwood Bandits ------------------------------------------------------- Hmmm, how does this training caper work again? ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the New Sturt Blues ------------------------------------------------------- New Unley: Expectant Hush as Blues Reveal New Lineup Well, actually it's quite similar to last year's except we sacked six players and got seven more. Our new rookies for this year: Paul Hollis Brodie Atkinson John Richter Bruce Lennon You won't see them on-field for 12 months, but they're there, cranking away for next year's assault on the flag. ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the Christminster Clerics ------------------------------------------------------- We save a lot of money this year by missing out on the first round of drafts (doh!). Now we are forced to waste more on less in a desperate bid to get someone fresh. Expect a big year from the clerics (gold for sure!). ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the CSUA ------------------------------------------------------- Time for a new season. Do any of these players remember the rules? ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the Himeji Herons ------------------------------------------------------- The Himeji Heron's were very happy to acquire the services of two of Japan's top Sumo wrestlers: Wakanohana, who won the Spring tournament last Sunday, and his younger brother, Takanohana. Taka reputedly withdrew from the tournament with a liver complaint, but in reality he was getting in some extra footy training. We're thinking of playing these guys in the forward line and just bomb the ball in long to them. Hey, who aside from Dancing Elephant is going to be able hassle these guys? ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the Roxburgh Kittens ------------------------------------------------------- For up to date press releases and team info, see http://www.horizon.bc.ca/~ogier/sparf/ ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the Buffalo Knights ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the Victorian Mandarins ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the Manix Maulers ------------------------------------------------------- From the pages of the Manix News Digest: At a hastily assembled press conference yesterday afternoon, the Manix Maulers' press secretary, Smilin' Pete Zinger, was asked to comment on the upcoming Manix season. "Hey, how should I know? Who cares?" Upon being reminded that spewing pro-Manix propaganda was part of his job description, Smilin' Pete began to weep openly and was escorted away from the podium. This does not bode well for gentle Manix. ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the The Mythstics ------------------------------------------------------- The sheep entrails guided The Mythstics well in their bidding with four recruits picked up in the first round of the draft. As Madame Venusia (allegedly) commented, "This team could use a little fresh blood. Stoke them altars, Ed!" ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the Newcastle Novas ------------------------------------------------------- Testing, testing, uno, dos, trios. ------------------------------------------------------- Press from the Petawawa Purple Platypi ------------------------------------------------------- Eet luks lik dis C-zon iz gunna B mush tuffer dan de lass cupl.
