while the unfortunate ones stay knocking outside, looking in. During this short 'transfer window', promising players were drafted in, and here we proudly present...
the 6Pack Punks!
1) 'The Ninja' Chia Hsien
With his amazing psycho-motor skills and his ability to deceive opponents with his same hand-same foot runs, 'The Ninja' has silently proven his ability to stand out in any game he plays. Watch out for his trademark 'stinky' which was previously popularized by Alan Lontong.
2) Derrick
A fan of Harry Potter, Derrick never removes his glasses even on the pitch. Still learning many more aspects of the game and in strong contention for most improved player, this junior wizard has surprisingly good passing skills, and deceptive speed.
3) Edmund Kuang
Actually a sophomore from 6pack's class of 2006, this quiet punk has an instantaneous dummy-half burst that is as blinding as his diamond earring. A highly dependable player that can be counted on for flashes of brilliance, and consistent performance.
4) Edwin Kuang
Also new to the sport, Edwin has made learning it look easy. A natural sprinter, his potential to improve is great and has grasped the most important idea of being a 6pack winger: Stealthily creep near the sidelines and wait for the finishing pass.
6pack Fun Facts: Edwin & Edmund are unidentical twins, coincidentally so is Loo and Kenny (mini-Loo)
5) Eugene Ng
A Cirque du Soleil acrobat in his free time, Eugene utilises his back-breaking agility and insane quickness to the max. Although rare in appearance, his presence is commonly noticed by the girls, thanks to his 'Men's Health' physique and Beckham-like hair. Will add more arsenal to his game when he eventually adds more variety to his gameplay.
6) Guoyong
Together with NUS mate Joshua, Guoyong's addition to the team has made it possible for 6pack to plan for future conquests. Despite being new to the game, his quick learning is made more surprising by the fact that he has only played only a handful of games with 6pack. A veteran of the NUS Sheares Hall Touch team, his natural teamplaying ability is a good sign of things to come.
7) Joshua Yap
Another player whose speed can only be measured by a police radar, Joshua has been constantly leaving players rooted on the spot with his impossible side-steps. Although still new to the game, his good progress makes him an interesting prospect for the team, as well as the womenfolk, with his highly-conditioned shoulder-length hair 'ala' Ronaldinho.
8) Mahdi bin Taib
A constant menace to the opposition with his dastardly quick steps and unmatched speed, Mahdi will sidestep you, burst past your flailing arms, sidestep another time for good measure and score the inevitable try. Making steady progress with his game, as well as with the ladies.
9) Terence Toh
The Republic Polytechnic captain has plenty of games under his belt and is no newcomer to the touch scene. A refreshing addition to the team, Terence's side-steps are nifty as well as untouchable. His regular scoring and competitive experience has been a great boost for the team. Time will only tell if his style would gravitate towards the 'fast and furious' play of Amila or the 'patient playmaking' style of previous RP captain Kenny 'Mini-Loo'; or preferably both.
10) Eric Dipo Hutomo
Much is expected from this player who shared the same nationality as our ex-legendary awesome captain, Yohanes Leander. Rumours have it that he is a friendly Shearite who has a friendly smile ready, even for his opponents on the field as he burnt them alongside the touchline, giving them the 'grin'. Rumours have it also that Eric is a mild mannered guy who likes to play DOTA and although being new to the game he is always eager to learn and improve. Hope to see Eric more at the Padang for more great things to come... (less DOTA hor, Eric)
11) Mystery Man
Rumoured to be very interested in playing for 6pack, Mystery Man is a recognized face in the Singapore Rugby Youth Squad. An intelligent player with complete all-round abilities, MM would be a fine inclusion into the squad. Although established as a competent rugby player, his competitive touch experience is close to nil.
So there you have it, the up and coming 6Pack players...
Will they live up to their potential? Will they have the intestinal fortitude to withstand the pressure that comes with playing in a team full of competitive personalities? Will they eventually receive a pass from David? And who from these pool will make the cut for NTL?
