Screw You Raiders

The Uni Stallions have made an audacious pre-season signing - poaching one of the Raiders who carved them up last year.

While this player's name remains unidentified for legal reasons the above photograph may provide some clues - especially for fans of the breathtaking skills shown by the 5-a-side team Jules and the Stallions. This player top scored for the team, but is best known for lying prone on the ground after saving the penalty with his umm dangly bits, a sacrifice that got the team through to the grand final of the tournament. His contribution to the final played just minutes later was minimal.

The player is looking to renew his lethal partnership with J&TS, and the other minor Stallions who did not make that elite team. He is coming after Ben Hodges's leading goal scorer crown. His exact words were 'what the big, clumsy ape of a man who kept falling over his own feet - he's your top goal scorer?'

The above photograph may be deceptive. In 2 games for the cricket stallions this season, this player averaged just 7.5.

If i get bumped back to the midfield he will definitely be getting much better service than i had to make the best of. If i go back to the midfield i have no doubt he will easily surpass my goal tally from last season. Interesting to note that Rauru scored 19 goals per season when i was in the midfield and as soon as i left the midfield the striker's tally dropped to 9. Is there any other way of constructing my point?

Interesting to note that Rauru can actually kick the ball in a straight direction (as well as curling it into the top left).

Just joshing, and I agree by the way, if we have people who can score goals you are much more valuable in midfield - especially when Nick is on his European sojourn.
