Round 1 2014

With No.1 Aardvark, Cyril Sneer taking over the coaching duties this season, the Aardvarks have put together a hassle free pre season and come into round_1 with minimal injury worries and the side 'jumping out of their skin'   to get underway. This in turn resulted in many headaches for our selectors around the selection table last night....  They were seen stumbling out of the room well after mindnight...  

Hopefully these last couple of months now turns into a win to start the season against the Tanks  

Aardvarks side named for Round_1 are -;

Greg Inglis
Reece Robinson
Josh Morris
Dean Whare
Kevin Gordon
Jamie Soward
Daly Cherry-Evans
Joel Reithmuller
Nathan Peats
Elijah Taylor
Josh McGuire
Mitch Rein
Trent Merrin
Luke Brooks
Kyle Feldt
Tohu Harris
Beau Scott
Jamie Soward

 

Was going to have a whinge myself about lack of backrow depth at the Tanks this year but it looks like everyone else has beaten me to it. Hahahaha.

Tanks are ready to fire in Round 1. Coach Rickaard has had the same pre season as last year but now it is time to put the beer bongs away and get rolling.

The Bluetongues team for the new season is already riddled with holes and the recruitment managers has already been given the dreaded vote of confidence at the first board meeting

The backline has gone missing and all the chaps that quickly put their hands up to play, have just as quickly disappeared from the teamsheets.

The current team is missing three backs.
