The Nest Report - 29 May 2008

Eagle Fan Update

Things are looking good at The Nest this year.

All the boys have been working hard in preparation of what should be a fun year at the Fairfax Eagles for the 2008 AMNRL season. The boys have quickly formed a tightly nit playing group and all look forward to the honor of pulling on the club colors for the Eagles in their first ever game.

Player turn outs for practice have been great with all players putting in the requisite time and effort to ensure that they are ready to launch the 2008 AMNRL season with a bang. As a fan of the club I have watched all of the practices with keen interest and can certainly see a few surprise packets emerging from this eclectic mix of rugby league talent.

Special mention must go to club President, the ‘ever green’ Steve Grant who continues to persist with his lack of passing skills in all drills. Keep it up Steve, you’re a constant inspiration to back rowers everywhere, that one day they can retire to the front row where they belong.

Give that man a Pabst

Congratulations to Kiwi sensation Jordan ‘Smarter than the Average’ Barber who has been awarded the inaugural Eagles captaincy. Whilst most guys won’t understand a word he is saying, they will no doubt be inspired by the hair bear’s gallant runs and inspirational defence.

Go Yogi!

Eagle Fan’s Tip

Naysan ‘Billy Ray’ Eshragi is sure to astound all on lookers, not so much for his playing talent (which is questionable), but for his flowing rat’s tail that would not look out of place in a Garnier commercial exclusively directed towards trailer trash. Look for him to build up a quick cult following amongst the club’s fan base and local hair stylists. Mmmmmmmmm Sexy!

On a more somber note

The club’s thoughts and prayers are with Coach Tom Reed who has recently had to return to England for an urgent family matter. All the best Tom to you and your family.
