Rumour false...

[ben swarmer]

hope its false i dont want loxton waikerie gf again

[callop]

Yeah, Loxton and Waikerie look like being around the mark again. Obviously well run clubs, which is helped by a low turn over of players, and good junior development. Berri always seem to have a high turn over of players, and given that the league has introduced the points system one wonders how they can recruit to match the likes of Waikerie and Loxton and still be under their points allocation. I believe that if Roo pulls on a Waikerie jumper he will only be worth one point!

the last year roo played 4 waikerie ( 1991 ) they won the flag surely they wont win it on his return

[Baron Greenback]

One point!?! That's a joke. If a player of that quality is only worth one, yet an Independent player is 2 then the system is stuffed.

Damien Stephens was enjoying the Woolshed in Adelaide on Saturday night.

Ahhhh it's the place to go. Bullriding is fun!

[Baron Greenback]

Good times definitely to be had there DW.
Happy Birthday for Wednesday btw.

[Dogwatcher]

Cheers mate.
You're welcome to come over for a beer.

[silicone skyline]

You'd be the first in a while BD, the big fella's gettin a bit lonely.

[Baron Greenback]

Haha...the poor lil fella.
I see you made some runs on the weekend SS...

[silicone skyline]

Yeah, after the first day i had i'm glad i saved myself the embarrassment of miserable failure.
Should have won the final, out reverse sweeping the monash medium pacer.
Damn confounded innovative cricket.
You boys putting a team in next year or what?

[cod master]

If the Roo plays for Waikerie next year he will be no points as he played all his U13s there, so Waikerie get him for nothing.

[Baron Greenback]

Unlucky mate. Nothing wrong with the ol reverse sweep.

Dunno eh. I don't play cricket anymore. Gave it up for tennis.
Very bad move...haven't won a set yet!
Can't play cricket because of my back.
Renmark Turf doesn't seem real keen on the concept.

[silicone skyline]

Yeah, i really don't understand why.
Any cricketer would enjoy playing the game for the sake of playing it.
despite playing for a cash prize and not actual points or whatever, teams took the games seriously when they were out on the park.
Was a good competition, i would recommend it to anyone.
Great fun, social, and competitive.

[Baron Greenback]

Yeah I saw a bit of the Lyrup v Renmark North game on Saturday arvo.
The Lyrup boys were definitely taking it seriously. Saw some bloody big sixes hit too.

[silicone skyline]

They won the team sixes competition.
I think we pushed them with nine or ten.
Still, we walked away with two cartons.
so was a good weekend overall.
Pretty tired and sore now tho.
gotta get fit after new years.
That's my resolution.

[BJ Ernest]

SS the old tired body gonna hold up??

[Baron Greenback]

Yeah me too.
Done a bit of running and gym but have been slack the past coupla weeks.
So you're playing for Loxton then?

[silicone skyline]

No, haven't signed anything.
Playing cricket for them tho.
Seeing a physio at Lyrup on a weekly basis.
Lol.
He's pretty good.
Laid down on the table and he goes, "Son, you're a mess!"
So i flipped over onto my stomach.

[Baron Greenback]

Haha. Brilliant!
