Christmas Time

Blessed Christmas Everyone!!!

SIXPACK 2007

The End Is The Beginning

There are some ways of coming to terms with defeat. Whichever process that is deemed as appropriate, such as by mutual conviction, past practice, peer pressure or simply just to be dangled over the railing by the ankles to be persuaded, the general idea is to pack all your emotional baggage (i.e anger, mistrust, hate, confusion, tiredness, anxiety, grudges, grievances, sexual deprivation) in a forgettable little box, locked away! And so it is, this belief must be embraced by even the greatest of teams;a hard brush of reality one must face and submit to unprecedented(although that shouldn't be too often).

20 October 2007 was precisely one of those days for the sport of Touch Football and Rugby Union where devotees to the exalted realms of each respective sport were overwhelmed with shock and disbelief. Two of the most celebrated teams clashed head-on with the adversary. As only one could emerge triumphant, fate had the last call and the winning teams received the nod from above, which left fans utterly destroyed and even questioning if the sport should ever continue to be played. We are of course referring to both teams which have undoubtedly lost, but conceded with grace that fateful day - The English Rose (RWC 2007) and Sixpack (NTL 2007).

On a more intimate scale, defeat concluded the season for us but had also opened a new year for one amongst us. A new 26th year. A very drunk 26th year...chiefly. For those who missed the soiree, it was a regrettable miss. However, a blow-by-blow account will be attempted for those who missed it for apparantly trustworthy reasons...and as pictures do most of the telling, we shall not deny them that...

NTL Semi-Finals : Six Pack vs Bucks Golden

Date: Saturday 20th October 2007
Time: 1350hrs
Venue: Turf City
Weather: Cloudy with soft ground conditions


"F.U.N"
Losing a few players to injuries and commitement to contact rugby, SixPack went on to play Bucks Golden in a Semi-finals of the NTL. Bucks Golden fielded a team without most of their younger players. Nevertheless, angled running and good chemistry between the Bucks players resulted in the first try of the match.

Soon after, SixPack infamous for the "die,die must try" attitude equalized with great 70metres dash by "TheKhairul". The try proved to be the turning point of the game as SixPack began to pick up momentum. Bucks Golden had a hard time defending our ruck-ups and SixPack exploited a stagger in defence with a combination of Amila"Special" and Edwin's finishing touch. Lack of communication resulted in a couple of dropped balls in our half. Good angled running drawing defenders out of position before a switch proved to be effective resulting in a try. Credit have to be given to Bucks Golden for integrity by informing the Referee that there was no touch. Hard ruck-ups created an opportunity for Edwin"Gonzalez" to break Bucks Line of defence and link up with Josh"The Freak" with a switch before gliding through for a try.

Half-time score: 4 Six Pack 1 Bucks Golden.

A change of strategy was needed in the second half. SixPack explored the 2-man ruck-up. The quick and effective way of gaining ground and momentum in attack caused a stir in Bucks defence. Soon after, Bucks capitalized on the errors at the wings with a miss pass to an unmarked Bucks player for a try. Sixpack were punished for sleeping at the try line with Bucks overlapping runs and inside pass. Immediately after conceding the try, SixPack replied with a try. A combination of Alan "Lontong" Special and "TheKhairul" 2-man ruck and switch of Amila"Special" left Bucks staring at grass for a while.

Fatigue starts to set in. SixPack lost a couple of possesion due bad ball handling. Bucks began to put on the pressure on SixPack defence. Determined to set foot in the NTL Finals, SixPack never let anyone through. Till the final whistle is blown.

Full-time score: 5 Six Pack 3 Bucks Golden

Man-of-the Match: Luke "Charm" Moonwalker (for his never ending support play)

And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Fight on!

Look up, smile and move on.

DON'T QUIT!

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer, with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he/she might have won had he/she stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Six Pack Booya!

NTL Match - Six Pack vs Wanderers (Round 2-Match 3)

Date: Saturday 29 September 2007
Time: 1440hrs
Venue: Turf City
Weather: Hot with soft ground conditions


“All things are possible when you believe”

The game against Wanderers last Saturday explains it all. Though the game was won Six Pack have to remember that we can lose it as easy as we have won it. Believing alone is not enough to win us Championships but accompanied by hard work, anything is possible.

With 12 people in the starting lineup, we started off by conceding a try in the first few minutes. Six Pack, infamous with the “die, die must try” attitude replied back with a try at the wings. The game started to pick up momentum with both teams pushing themselves to their limits. Miscommunication between the Sri-Lankan Tigers led to a breakthrough by Wanderers. Six Pack showed their flair in ball handling resulting in a try at the wings. Wanderers did a quick 2-man punch catching our link and winger off guard, thus a try. Just before the first half whistle was blown, Alan did what he is best; “The Lontong Special” only to realize that he was the dummy-half. The controversial try smoked not only the players and spectators but also the referee who passed it off as a try.

Half-time score: 4 Six Pack 3 Wanderers.

Six Pack played with structure and defended their tryline well. Conceding only 1 try in the second half. Wanderers began to lose focus and dropped a couple of balls resulting in change of possession. Six Pack capitalized on this error and used every single touch we had to pile up on the score. Taufiq ”Quick Feet” created a 4 v 3 situation which resulted in Terrance scoring at the wings unmarked. Six Pack maintained their lead throughout the match. Final whistle blown.

Full-time score: 7 Six Pack 4 Wanderers

Man-of-the Match: Derrick "The Great Wall"

If you value statstics... this is the post for you.

6 Pack never really paid much attention to stats, preferring to concentrate on gameplay and wins.

Things haven been looking up for us this season. But we have been improving... Tommorrow shall see if we can finally turn the corner. Don't get pressured though as now we take you though our detailed analysis of 6 Pack's Performance Past and Present.

1. Amazingly, 6 Pack has only lost 2 games and won the rest in their whole NTL history. Those were during this season, the narrow 1 try loss to Wanderers and 2 try loss to Bucks.

2. 6 Pack has the best defence this season, conceding 17 tries in 7 games. 2nd is Wanderers with 26 tries in 7 games. That is a whooping 9 tries, enough to win a game.

3. However Wanderers has the best attack in the league, displacing 6 Pack from last season with 73 tries in 7 matches. But 6 Pack has the 2nd best attack this season with 56 tries. Shows the competition between the teams.

4. Before the 2 try loss to Bucks Golden this season, 6 Pack has never lost by more than a try in a STL/NTL match.

5. The stats analysis show 6 Pack is an extremely competitive team and fights to the end.

Booya!

P.S - Gideon, months have passed since you were given the job for wanderers report. You have stopped the flow of match reports and the blog ICs (Terence Taufiq) have decided as redemption (Punishment), you shall do tommorrow's Wanderers match report too. (:

An excellent example of how to impress that special someone!

Psychological Warfare.

Still halfway though the season, 6 Pack. All's not gone yet. Deep inside all of us, we know we have the quality to make it.

Things might look bleak to some, but do remember we lost by soft tries and silly errors. If we cut them out, we will do so much better.

But I don't know if its the pressure of the expectation of retaining the title, but even old heads are losing their cool which leads to more pressure on the rest and the team cracks.

We need leadership now, not complaining and blaming. I dont know about the others especially the young players, but I feel pressure when I take the field. I rather not make a mistake than score a try. I feel restricted on the field, not able to express myself freely.

I guess its a learning curve for me.

But key point of this post is, let's become more positive. Let's encourage each other more. Don't let the pressure get you down. Think about how you are going to get to the try-line and create/score the try, not about how to get back from 1-0 down. Like what khairul says, smile!

P.S - I was late on saturday because no cab took my booking and i had to move to another location before a cab took my booking. Trust me, I am as angry and upset as some are about me being late but I do think everyone should be given a chance to explain themselves, right or wrong. It's in the past now, but sorry to everyone for being late on last saturday.

NTL Match 2 - Six-pack VS RP

Date: Saturday 4 August 2007
Time: 1.20pm (Around there)
Venue: Turf City
Playa of the Day: Amila
Dick of the Day: Loo

NTL Match 2
Result: Won 14-0

Suppose to boot up by 12.30 but as usual, the dudes were late. Around 1pm, the warm-up finally began and we did a recap on “NINJA” and the variation, an extra punch up for a dummy-half scoop through. As the warm-up continues, some RP guys were spotted spying on what Six-pack is doing.

“Eh, we learn all their moves right?” said RP-1.
“Ya ya, once they call it in the match we know how to counter already.” said RP-2.
“Eh, than what is that move they are doing now? NINJAaaaa?” said RP-1.
“Eh, not sure, see how the match goes…”

So RP started off the kick off. Not too long after that, it was the first turnover and the start of Six-pack score trying streak. We did a structured punch-up followed by the famous “Teapot” by the side.

Faint sounds came from the two RP side after the first try…
“Eh, you know right? That move?” said RP-1.
“Aiya, you know they going to do it already, you never help me cover.” said RP-2.

So what was the Six-pack response?
“Guys, we do teapot until they learn It.”

With that guideline in mind, Six-pack scored 4 consecutive tries just by doing Teapot. Match continues with a couple of breakthrough in the center. Just before the end of the first half, RP saw a chance coming when Loo is slowly drifting in. RP did a commit and pass to their winger and he run pass Loo. However, that guy is no faster than our Lucky Loo, as he got touch at the try-line. The first half ended with approx 6-0.

During the break, Khairul (The Elder) reminded Six-pack of the core values of being a Six-Packian.

“Eh guys, some heads are getting big. Burst it now. Six-pack don’t boast, remember that. We may be smiling now but next week, let’s see whose smiling. I know I will be smiling.”

“Eh, Sorry guys… I know my head is getting bigger..I mis-took the diamond blue pill instead of my 'roid” said Loo.

Next week, against the Wanderers, more than just a rivalry game. Keeping that in mind, we played with better structure and more discipline during the second half. A fast three-man punch-up and we saw Khairul running through the helpless RP defense, scoring the first try on the second-half. Following the example set, Six Pack did fast ruck-ups and scored numerous tries. Around the third-quarter of the second-half, a miscommunication between Mudhy and Amila cause a RP guy to break through the Six Pack defense.

“His MINE!!!” said Amila, as Muhdy hang back waiting.

When the RP guy was at the try line, Six-pack thought that the clean sheet for the day was broken. However, Amila did a full body dive (which seems like his actually flying in the air for about 2 seconds) and touch the RP guy before he could plant the ball.

So the game ended with 14 tries on Six-pack score sheet, while RP (Never-give-up attitude) with 0 tries. Let’s reflect the same score tally with this week match against Wanderers. Six-pack Booya!

NTL Match - Six Pack vs Bedok

Date: Saturday 4 August 2007
Time: 1430hrs
Venue: Turf City
Weather: Hot with soft ground conditions
Referee: Penny and Cock-eye Man

NTL Round 1 Match 1
Result: Won 12 - 2

The match started off with Bedok kicking off. At the first turnover, we punched hard at the center creating open spaces in the middle for the first try. Supporting play for the try was excellent. Our second and subsequent try came from a combination of quick hands and dummy breaks. Our defense in the first half was good. Even so, we were giving Bedok too much space at the center as our center defense cover was very slow.

Bedok's try came in from a center defense error where which caused a penalty try. His fat ass The soft ground caused Adam to slip and Bedok's quick reaction to exploit the situation paid off. Penalty try was given for bitch-slapping grabbing and touching the try scorer repeated times before getting onside. The score was approximately 6 tries to 1 at half time.

The second half started with a new set of 6. Miscommunication between the centers and the links resulted in a couple of turnovers from dropped balls. We began to pick up momentum after 5 minutes from the kick off of the second half. There were a number of opportunities where we did not exploit the extra numbers on the wings. This is caused by 3 factors. The ball carrier did not straighten up his running line; the passes did not connect with the receiver and the receiver cutting back in instead of running straight into the gaps for a pass.

The last ten minutes of the second half saw a couple of individual efforts to break the line at the middle zone. Bedok managed to squeeze one try in at the link and wing gap in the last ten minute period. The error is caused by the link being obstructed by the referee. Our defense was slightly stronger in the second half. The match ended of with a score of 12-2.

1. Adam - (center/link)
2. Gideon - (center/ link)

The Mambo Kings and Queens

It was a hard shoving, elbow sticking extravaganza which met the paparazzi at Zouk (Phuture) on Wed night 1 Aug . They left no table unturned and every slop of accidental barf hardly escaped the keen eyes of the mob...which had counted on every discriminating evidence to put them on the trace of any member of Sixpack which, according to a tip-off, would be making an appearance that night. It was not long...the obvious couldn't have been any clearer and as though having their prayers answered, they cleaved and hacked through the sea of bodies seeming to amass just around our celebrated quarry. Not only were they greeted with our heroes at last but along with some hot lil' numbers as well...YEOUCH! Two birds for the stone! They simply couldn't resist the gnawning idea of putting up a lil' competition, and immediately set off to crown the very first SixPackBlog MAMBO KING & QUEEN! But Ladies & Gentlemen, we require your counsel...

First off...the dames!

Hot lil' #1

Hot lil' #2 Hot lil' #3

Hot lil' #4

Hot lil' #5

Hot lil' #6

Hot lil' #7

Hot lil' #8

Hot lil' #9?? Hot lil' #10

...and next we bring you......

*drumroooooll*

I'm sorry guys no debate here as there can only be one...

Hot rod #1 (and only)

So Ladies & Gents, after much deliberation from the esteemed panel of judges (or judge) as well as votes cast by yourselves(or really someone else other than you) and with the heightened anticipation ringing through our ears, we have finalised our decision. So without further ado....I give you the Mambo Queen!!

Haha...no laah

Mambo Queen

A surprise to some but even though the starlet was not available that night, the life and spirit of this Mambo-ette reverberates across the floors of Mambo Nights! The sashay of her distinctive strut, the swish of her luscious locks, the penetrating gaze she unveils when those curtains unfurl...and the crowd only seek to synchronise their hand signals in time with that of hers...all expertly choreographed. Phenomenal!

First and foremost, SixPackBlog would like to congratulate the winner whole heartedly...well deserved! As for those who didn't make the cut...i'm sure we'll be having another round pretty soon. So ladies...get tighter not wider!

Wow, our celebrity status finally seems to be kicking in, Kristy (from Wantoks) wants to invite the "SRC guys" to her birthday at MAMBO. Marli requested the below invite be posted despite my concerns over giving the Singapore paparazzi and obsessed fans prior notice of our whereabouts.

NTU Touch Attack- Episode 2

With individuals such as Alan Lowton, David Teo, Khairullah, Sujan Jayalath, Gideon(whom some might recognise as that guy in that shirt who needs a dating coach) and various other names synonymous with households around Singapore. It is no wonder why the SRC teams dominated the NTU Touch Attack with 2 out of 3 teams making it to the final.

The first match pitted 2 SRC teams against each other. Alan Keys and The BooLees. All talk aside, both teams got down to business. or at least 1 did.

Killing all anticipation of an all-out fight, Alan Keys dominated from the get-go and demolished their former peers early on with their intense plays.

"If you ain't first, you're last.."- Ricky Bobby Talladega Nights

Although having 2 of the players from the euphoric SPARTANS who had earlier obliterated everything that stood in their way during the previous weekend's fun touch tournament. The Boolees performed below-par and looked awfully helpless. Which again brings up the question of who really is the true MVP.

In the end, Individual brilliance, careful planning and explosive plays from 1 team in contrast to Total incompetence, tactical naivity and poorly executed side-steps from the other, resulted in a hiding that even The Prison's Touch Team would be ashamed of. BooLees despite their confidence at the start of the tournament, left the field with their heads hanging in between their legs.

That defeat spelt the beginning of the end for the BooLees, as soon after they crashed out of the tournament, losing to Veterans Bedok and struggling against the perennial whipping boys from RP. A sad end for one of the favourites of the tournament..

After losing XJ to dinner plans, Alan Keys managed to cruise through the group matches, undefeated. Defeating the Bedok Kings and outclassing the 2 nippy youngsters from Rp, Taufik and Terence. A pity, the young talents sent in 6 teams and all they got to show for it were their goodie bags.

The Semis

Alan Keys vs LFS and Dan(1-0)

Ok la.. I burnt them for that 1 try. Enough said.

Khairage Under Fire vs Bedok Kings(2-0)

Bedok Kings fresh from beating the living daylights out of the BooLees, came into this match thinking that they could take the scalp of another SRC team. Unfortunately for the Kings, they were crushed by the smart plays of Khairul and one of their own from contact, Daniel Thiam. "1,2 Step" Josh made sure of the finishes while Thiam and Khairul opened up the gaps. "maybe, maybe we can win..."- Gideon

Final

Alan Keys vs Khairage(2-1)

Khairage, the darkhorses in the final. Started strong in defense and absorbed the endless siege and started to get the fans believing that it was the Day of the Underdogs. But alas, it was not to be.

"A team is only as strong as it weakest link."

David Teo broke past a stumbling Gideon with arms flailing and scored the first try of the game.

Marlina Kasbi soon put the game beyond reach as she dived past an exposed and offside Gideon. Khairage managed to spark a miniature comeback of somesort with a consolation try in deep into stoppage time. But it was not to be. The fairytale couldn't come true. David couldn't beat Goliath this time. He and his mates just had to settle to kicking the arses of the rest of their 6pack teamates.
