We arrive at the start of preparing for Round 10, one that in the season past was cathartic, exposing and warranted - almost a rebirth, as the Lions shredded the Swans beyond recognition in a 4-0 smashing with bonus points galore.
A different bird awaits this week - the Hawk, but in some ways not a lot of difference in their predicament when compared to the Swans. The Lions though are in a much stronger club position, hungry for another kill before the break and time allows for claws to be sharpened and jaws to be adjusted - Sarge style.
Illness with a swine variation have been detected within the correspondent giving cause to quarantine conditions to be abided by for the next five to seven days. No matter, a minor obstacle as this allows the structure to flow if all things are in place. Smash gets the call up, initally as part of the XII, but a pre match injury to Hodge allows him to claim a playing position in Newcastle with fondest wished of support from all now that it seems the light may not be illusory.
Skipper Dick whips the cubs into order, exhorting the importance of this immediate contest for future positioning. DKP conducts the exam for the younger levels, ensuring that knowledge has been properly installed to date. Salty Dog pulls all the strings in the background, keeping the lid firmly sealed, hunger levels aware and challenges to those in need.
No Name has the dreaded OP, gone for weeks at this rate - but such a charming man who will be required in full flow by Valentines Day. Bowlers have soreness in places where bowlers are supposed to be sore, the oncoming rest will be welcomed. Turf wickets in place for training and by all reports starting to feel like a proper club at this level, finally. Recent success for the club, ten wins from twelve games feed the buoyancy, Colonel Sando still bouncing around with the double excitement of school ending. Can he contain the mind to deliver another performance?
Rest well young warriors, lets take this last chance in 2009 to make a statement.
