The "yoke" would certainly be on us and people may not be "scrambling" to "shell" out for season tickets next year even if we "poached" the best players from other clubs.

Alright, I'm out of here.

Please note. For all those reading this post, Fax Machine is not an alter ego of mine.

This 9s comp was ok in it's self, but all these additional Plates, Cups, Wooden Spoons, Dish Cloths they've thrown into the washing up bowl just give more opportunities for unnecessary injuries.

Quite an embarrassment really and obviously just some ploy to try and get as many teams as possible into the area to watch the NRC.

It's like saying "you didn't make the NRC final so, just to rub it in, you can play in the 9's. If you get knocked out of that let's rub it in still further and make you play in the plate".

Why weren't they at least honest enough to call it "The Losers Cup" and "The Loser of Losers Cup"?

So what time is the final? I hope it's not too late so our players have some chance of catching a few z's before getting up for work tomorrow and then flying out to Toulouse later in the week.
