The Caw Caw Report
Pukeko Exploits
By: King Avatar
The much anticipated match up with UWC was met with much anticipation. That much was anticipated.
Dan Gernez aka RubberMan or Elastiboy continued on his spree of spectacular tries, two spring to mind, a superb round the corner sidestep by the sideline and another goose stutter step quarter field to stymie their rangy defender – both tries elicited in a trademark canter down the in goal area…lets see if he can keep up the pace for the rest of the seasons games!
Greg Mountain Somers was a stalwart on defence and came up with some superb gap running. I say we call him Mountain Gap. That’s his name. MG, good old gapper, the gap-meister, Mr Gap!
Moses did some great timed runs and was a contributor with calling out the defense…the site of his grey shirt was like a convict had escaped Changi and run on to play some touch!
Bus, after a pit stop in the bus station for the few weeks is now in the fast lane, this man is all about go forward, and not a step back!
The Muggers
Lee Xin otherwise known as Lee, or LX or Captain Ruck had a good game – sending a few choice passes out to his fellow muggers and some great dumping. Work needs to be done on his ruck defense though, the Muggers are the pukeko dobermen, so have to be the defenders of the team!
Wei Qiang, or affectionately know as the 3rd Mugger, the “sharpie” or M3 depending on your numerical ability, is climbing the steep learning curve, a few on the line defending faults marred what was otherwise a good all round game. The Pukeko team looks forward to his increased application of nous and initiative. His speed is there, his thoughts just need to catch up! J
Tony went in to do one of his extender dumps and then the defender went to do one of those no touch calls. But TK (also known as Tony-Baroni, the Singapore BA) was quicker and jetted the length of the field for a try.
Derelyn has the pukeko vote for person who proclaims injury status but takes the field regardless of her injuries…can someone say “arthritis in her old age”?
Alvinia had another sterling effort, with great communication and storming runs and defense. Her middle name is stalwart!
Mephine had a case of the dropsies but also some major runs down the field. She is the Mephinator.
A sterling effort saw the Pukekos Mixed prevail. Caw Caw!
Penny was a great communicator and managed to calm down Gap-man from getting too agitated. Her organisation and fluid runs was similar to Lindsay Chamberlains chase of the dingo!
Haseena was showing her old age as she was cramping up off the field, but this didn’t manifest on the field as her play and communication was a thing of wonder beheld by the Muggers!
Huffer, was a shadow of his former self as the poor dude was under the weather and suffering from the flu. However, we are happy to report that he was only knocked down in a vicious tackle once! Lets hope to keep him concussion-free for at least a month.
Jonesy got his first try of the season. The wily veteran also showed off the evil technique a few times as the Baddies mouthed off in frustration. Jonesy is the enforcer. Shiver in the shadow of Jonesy. Jonesy casts a long shadow. A cold, dark shadow. A shadow, where nothing can live.
Wei Yi, quiet in nature, but not in play, had some great plays, notably, styming the dogged attack of some attackers who just don’t learn.
Kim, with damaged and dislocated shoulders continued to play. She is tougher than tough! In fact if she were any tougher she would rust!
Chris Macnamara had another fine showing, as he ghosted between and betwixt players.
After a solid game, the Mens Pukekos managed to pull away from the baddies like taffy from the sidewalk. 8-5, not bad. A lot to improve, but a wins a win!
The team looks forward to the first game of Messrs Perkins and Ting, two more weapons to add to the Pukeko arsenal! Caw! Caw!

STL Round 2 Recap
Pukeko Mens vs SixPack Men
The Pukekos took their first win of the summer league season against the hard running SixPack boys. Edging out a close 4-3 win the Pukekos played inspiring touch on attack, taking their opportunities as they came. SixPack lost their Captain, Leander early in the match and it proved to be the difference as they missed his organisation and decision making on the field.
The Pukekos fielded a full team with the return of the rubber man - Dan "rubber wheels" Gernez. Rookie Wei Qiang also debuted in this match with strong runs and solid defense. Young Dan collected two sweet tries supporting two dummy-half breaks and proving that being in the right place at the right time is a real talent!
Other tries were scored by Simon Gobbo on a quickie as he showed his sublime speed to outpace his marker to the line. Lixin scored his first try of the season on a slashing solo effort - showing a glimpse of his talent and pace.
Defense was tight on the line with sixpack making numerous line dives testing the agility of many Pukekos!
