STL 2007 Round 7 Match Report - vs OMD Pukeko

14 April, 12.50 pm, Turf City

Round 7 Match:

Score: 3-4

Player of the Day: Terence

Dick of the Day: David "I don't sell cheap fish" Teo

A titanic match-up between the NTL giants from last year. As some of you may have recalled, it was a flashy, new but talented bunch who hailed themselves as the 6 Pack of Pussy Burners which held the winning trophy for the NTL of '06. It was the same team who despite all odds and discouragement, nailed the title and gained the recognition to have broken the stigma held by the Wanderers men since anyone could ever remember.

However it seems that this time, the tide has turned and these bunch of talented players have finally outlived their more glorious days, being out-shone, out-done and out-gunned in most aspects of the game...for the second time. It was a day not to be taken by the men of 6 Pack as the Pukeko machine trounced the once decisive force of 6 Pack, to come in with 4 well earned tries...

The starting minutes of the first half saw a well controlled attack from 6 Pack, lashing out decisively at the relentless defensive wall of the Pukekos with good rucks and fair usage of the ball. Defense on the part of 6 Pack were relatively sound, with good covers in desperate instances when called for, as well as some forced turnovers (which went unnoticed - hence the alias) created by the one otherwise known as "Shadowfax" (formerly known as "The Shadow"). 6 Pack drew 1st blood on attack and opened accounts - not so early but first nonetheless - by the newly drafted player of 6 Pack. Terence, the steppy (although too steppy sometimes for his own good) slippery fiend cracked another one of his "hopscotch" stunts, landing two Pukekos on their rear ends and slapped the ball onto the line following a heroic dive. I think this young lad may have moved up one notch past David "I'm so damn HOT" Teo in the hearts of many fans. After more shoving, pushing and sideline gibbering, the 1st half of the match ended thus with a satisfactory lead of 1-0 to 6 Pack.

The 2nd half started more comfortably with the lead, but 6 Pack were duly put aside later by perhaps, their overconfidence or a simple lack of communication. Bad calls were beginning to surface and bad handling were bluntly evident as "The Shadow" seemed to have taken off during the 5 minute intermission leaving a much disgruntled Yum to his own devices leading to some disgusting handling errors. One of the painful moments was seen from a quick split from Khai "the kangaroo" rul just 2 meters short of the line and a pass which probably felt more like a 40m cross kick to touch...it doesn't take much imagination to predict what happened next. As the events have come to reveal, Yum may just be a 'shadow' of his much better self. The sublime partnership between Yum and Adam were also in total shambles as the crafty duo were completely cut-off by the Pukeko defenses. Four golden tries were put past some of the most sluggish and atrocious defending ever seen: Dan-the-man, french imported springbok of Pukeko, pranced and glided past the line without batting an eyelid, leaving two of the more reliable players Gideon and Taufik choking on his dust, levelling it at 1-1. Devon, head honcho of Pukeko proved why he IS the big cheese, by taking his team's score to a 2-1 lead over a dismal 6 Pack from a ball fed by a nice run. Another try from the frenchfry (sorry i couldn't help it) in the late half probably destroyed 6 Pack's foolish hope of ever regaining their footing, until Adam "I'm having S****a for dinner" Chan snatched a quick offload from David "I will buy a very cheap fish from Greg later" Teo through a well spotted gap and spun his wheels, scooting off for 6 Pack's first try in the second half, bringing the score closer but still a little short of 3-2. A little after the morale booster, comes the part where most fans have been befuddled, stumped and disgusted...shock and awe may have been his middle name, but not the result he was hoping for this time. An angled run pulled off by Greg apparently confused the usually reliable David "Greg's fish is definitely cheaper than mine!" Teo, which set him rooted to the spot, giving Greg a nice runway for touchdown number 4! In the last dying minutes of the match, Pukeko's treacherous attack managed to finally slip up a little but only too late. A loose ball at the 5 metre from the Pukeko's flurried attack, was neatly gift wrapped, ribboned and signed off personally, and handed specially to Adam "I'll take anything if its free" Chan, who quickly made off with the lovely present before they could change their mind. It was a gallant attempt, but not enough to lift 6 Pack out of the rut. The final horn was blown...saved by the bell, some might say.

The match ended at 4-3 to OMD Pukeko.

Will Pukeko (Wanderers) continue their reign once more? Will 6 Pack put aside all differences and overcome all grievances to defend their title? Will Terence give David "I sell kelong fish, so sue me!" Teo the boot and be the next all star in 6 Pack? We shall come to that shortly in NTL '07.

Commentator: So what do you ladies think?


Fan #1: Terence may not be as well built as David, but at least he is cute.
Fan#2: Damn, Terence is so hot! huh...what about the other guy??
Fan#3: We fans never like to talk about yesterday's news...who is the new hunk? Bring it on!
Fan#4: Never had a thing for 'kelings' (local tongue for indian) anyway...

Gideon "be my shower buddy" Loh: Terence? Quite a talent i must say. A very nice subtle jawline which accentuates his boylike features...lean and not overly muscular body...just lovely! How about those pair of slender, hair-free legs...won't need to shave at all! You know what they say....hair free is care free...whoo-hoo! Oh, his complexion might not be perfect but with a bit of help i think it will be just as nice as mine...you know...milky soft! Mmmmm...and I just like the way his lips are so full and luscious..it just makes you wanna nibble em. I mean...just speaking for the ladies here you know...ahem. Oh yeah, and a decent player too. Vely Naice...Ai laike!!

Commentator: The boys?

David "I think i got a 9th pack coming out" Teo: Ahh...fark ar! 1 try only wad...i scored how many already?! Chao Chee Bai... (chinese dailect profanity for smelly twat)

Leander: I've been staying at home all day long watching Discovery...I like observing a whole pack of hungry lioness tearing through the flesh and clawing out the innards of an old withered wilder beast...i find that rather therapeutic. Have you read the book on "How to heal your knees" by Dr. Klapper? Very informative...how about those gruesome YOUTUBE videos i posted on the blog? Now you know how i feel? I think I've made my point.

Gideon "If only Lay was Gay" Loh: HEY! Excuse meee Mr Reporter!? But I think i belong to this group of interviewees....can't you see these guns?? I mean like...hello?!

Adam: Ignore her...time of the month and all.
