Under construction...
There are plans to revive the old magic that once lighted the way and transcended all ethnic barriers. Mostly it was just a bunch of guys who enjoyed the mutual company and the very simple pleasures of the game. It is never easy to construct something from scratch, much less to re-construct something from the remnants of a once undeniable fortress. Sometimes, its just no longer possible to remove the tarnish from that old trophy...but that also means you'll just have to get a new one! All i'm saying is, selectively recruiting players and developing them isn't gonna be easy but all dreams and visions need something to spark it off. For the once old greats of the original SixPack, wish us luck in trying to relive the dream and result of 2006...and then add another 10 tries to that.
Shortlisted/confirmed members:
Middles/Links:
1.Yumhwa
2.Gideon
3.Joshua
4.Terence
5.Taufik
6.Wei Siong from NIE (prospective middle)
Wingers:
7.Bright from NUS
8.Brandon
9.Ghim Koon from NIE
Maybes:
10.Zhao En (Middle/Link)
11.Akim, a German import (Winger)
12.Sukee from NUS (middle/link/wing)
13.Marcus from NUS (middle/link/wing)
14.Kenny (middle/link/wing)
Looking at the numbers, with some allowance for transient movements in and out of the team, we don't really have much to leverage on. Looks like times ahead is going to be tough, along with having to bring the new members up to speed. But still a start nevertheless...slowly but surely.

Youth Trans Tasman 2009
Game 2
Game 3
Dunno where game 1 is. These are probably the two teams that our national mixed 20s played last youth challenge in NZ.

Training with the Aussies
First 3 words when i started playing a training game - DIE DIE DIE!
Everyone was so quick! There was no game plan per se but we were all in sync when it comes to bringing the ball up to the 5 metres. The moves evolves around simple sub-units - switches, bump, wrap, fade and dump and off course long passes. Nothing fancy honestly.
DIE DIE DIE - I was literally staggering on the field panting, fitness lacking, knees buckling, chest tightening, glutes cramping but NO, i shall not go down defeated. Excuses are for losers..i shall persevere..
More updates to come! Tonight's training : Fitness - DIE DIE DIE...
It's like playing with kangaroos down here.
