* RegoGate – Players call foul as PowerScore results surface: Not since the glory days of the Chinese swim team have we seen such shocking results from an unsuspecting source, as what was witnessed last Tuesday night. Little could be argued about Colleagues wonder-waterboy, Nick Fletcher, topping the charts, nor about Shaun “RumMondays” Talbot rounding out the field. However, it was the surprising top 5 inclusion from club secretary and social media guru, Dave “Golden Shorts” Burnett, that has caused his clubmates to launch a formal inquiry.

Despite being regularly run down on any given Saturday from opposition props, and spending more time lecturing referees than at any breakdown, the oft injured Burnett has managed to front up on the night and out score first grade wingers “Bin Chicken” Henley, Harbo, and the human larger sink, Gily. Asked for commentary, the Bin Chicken replied “mate, after they gave me the captaincy last week, I finally cracked an invite into the red rope section, and get in a round with the Colleagues holy trinity (DB, DK and BJ), I am not gonna talk out of turn the week after finally making something of my self?!”. Playing a Trump-esque game of creating maximum social media noise, to slip his score under the radar nearly paid off for the Golden Shorts champ, and it wasn’t until he emerged from a 2 day gym session at Bondi Platinum, that Patrick “Hoppa” Aboud found that his name has some how been left off the PowerScore listings, and he in fact wasn’t registered to Colleagues any more. Stay tuned as the story unfolds.

* Canny Liverpool Boss flings recruitment net far and wide: In recent weeks footballing royalty, Jurgen Klopp, has managed to slip relatively unnoticed down at BGS scouting the next generation of footballing talent. In a desperate bid to return the title to Anfield, Klopp has decided to investigate rumors that the next Brazilian footballing prodigy was in fact hiding amongst the ranks of Colleagues Colties, and the infamous “Bermuda triangle of footballing talent”, the Dome. It has been a win-win relationship for the Colties, as Klopp has been consulting them on how to manage a 50 man roster on a weekly basis, however, he has met more resistance from the Domes benevolent leader, Kim Jong Campbell. With a team sheet that reads like a North Korean prisoner list, there was little to be gleaned from the hermit micro-nation of Judd. German-Judd relationships will go into critical crisis talks this weekend in the hope to de-escalate rising tensions of player welfare.

BGBN is designed to introduce current player to past players with the view that they help one another out – just like a game of rugby. Everyone attending should expect to leave with to contacts to have a ½ coffee or beer with in the following 2 weeks.

The event is limited to 40 current players and 40 past players. Price is at cost for current players and $10 premium for past players to help the event wash its face. Please see your accountant about tax deductabilty.
