Tuggeranong Turtles

Post by Guy Incognito »

Introducing The Tuggeranong Turtles

The year 2008 sees the debut of one of the most exciting teams in rugby league history, the Tuggeranong Turtles.

The Turtles are based out of Viking Park in Erindale after striking a deal with the Canberra Vikings Rugby Union club which sees them move down the street to Wanniassa Primary Oval. “We realized which team played the better sport so it was a no brainer for us to move” said the Vikings CEO. Turtles CEO green_tongue couldn’t be happier with this arrangement.

A fan day was held last weekend with thousands of fans turning up to witness the unveiling of the jersey and logo and the naming of the first ever squad for the south Canberra based team with not one person leaving disappointed.

Round 4 team named

After a massive win over the Ngannawal Knobs last week Tuggeranong have stuck with virtually the same side to take on the Spence Softies this week, the only changes due to injury.

"We have been extremely unlucky with the injuries so far this season. Someone in the team must have tripped over a black cat and fell on a mirror that was under a ladder" said the Turtles captain Cam Smith.

Coming into the side is Ben Harris, replacing Phil Graham who is out for the season, while Michael Sullivan comes into the side for Robbie Farrah.

1 Kurt Gidley
2 Hazem El Masri
3 Joel Monaghan
4 Israel Falou
5 Ben Harris

Good luck this week, I think its going to be a pretty tight contest and im not feeling particularily confident. :doubt:
My favorite forum member is 100%Green. Why? Because anyone who can convince my wife who runs two watch shops and doesnt realy like the Raiders to buy me a limited edition centenary of league Raiders watch is alright in my books.

It's hard god-damn work being a Raiders supporter!
