Unprecedented Capture leads to murmurs of Self-Politicking
While democracy sometimes brings strange results. This week's inaugural vote has a cause to be viewed with intense suspicion. Never in the history of 6-pack, has a player managed to bag the two awards which cannot be more distinct than the other. It's similar to winning the Oscars and the Razzies for the same movie role. That folks, is an oxymoron which just does not happen.
This brings to the fore, the player in question, a Mr Chan Adam Ariff Bin Hussein. It also creates focus about an on/off field intangible, 'Influence', or in this case, dare I say it? 'Unabashed and unrighteous Influence'. Whether or not it is right or wrong, is a contentious issue, we'll leave it to you, the reader to decide.
Playa of the Day
Despite having the good sense to nominate both Caleb and yours truly in the Playa of the Day category, Adam Chan proceeded to nominate HIMSELF in that category. Although he made a sharp run which was reminiscent of a past Adam, 4 years and 20 pounds ago. What he should have realised, was that his efforts wouldn't have gone unrecognised by many.
Dick of the Day
Lets recognise the spade and call it for what it is.A Face Saving Exercise, nothing more. Chan was destined for the Dick of the Day glory due to his failure in noticing that the team was a man up in attack. Instead he chose to engage in a series of comical belly flops, whatever glint of hope left after, crushed by the unamused and certainly disinterested touch judges.
Nevertheless, we should admire his natural ability to win a popularity contest. Not everybody knows how to influence one. "Fat Runner. Outrunning 3 players whose combined weight equals his."- Yes, this is the play of the day. But it is not the actual on field action that has won him that title. Rather his off-field humourous- however shameless- influence to win an award that had it sealed. Well done Mate.
*This article is purely for satirical purposes and in no way meant to be defematory. Any accusations on the writer will be considered as a Media Witchunt.

Rewind to 2006-Chan(second from right), proving that his tales of him being thin are Non-Fiction.

Fast Forward to 2012. Fat Chan- notice how the years hasn't been kind to his cheeks, jawline, neck and forehead.

A Defensive Focus
Today, we begin with a defensive focus with the 1st article of a three part player profile review. Now, before you go saying 'boring!',-which was similar to my point of view,when the powers that be, applied pressure on the creative team to recognise, reward and encourage good play at the back-, you should realise that the article would still be a good read, purely due to stimulating writing skills of yours truly.
#Defensive Lynchpin
We would like to state that although the following personality might lack certain on field intangibles such as flair, good looks and the rational ability to differentiate between passes of 30m and 5m, he more than makes up for it with his single minded doggedness in defense, brilliant Sunday Lunches and a satirical hairstyle.
Name : Lee Yum Hwa
Weight: 68kg
Height: 170cm
Round 1 Fantasy Points: 42
Round 1 Stats: 14 runs, 16 touches, 1 Line break Create, 1 error
Fave Quotes: "In Yum We Trust", "Defence needs more work guys", "eh, how mike?"
Past Media Relations: Strained at best.

Fantasy 6-pack Tip-These Numbers Don't Lie
Whilst the stalwart of the team hasn't always been scoring or creating the glamourous tries, he has 5th highest score in Round 1, leading the team in touches made and never once giving away a penalty. A logical hypothesis would be that Lee works his socks off in getting back 5 metres, cornering hard, pushing off his opponents and making excellent positive touches. Whilst the veteran is certainly not the fittest, smartest nor the most technically gifted, he does the basics really well. On the big and tight matches, where tries are a rare commodity, we expect Mr Consistent to outscore most of his teamates. He might have his critics aand it may not be an adventurous fantasy choice, but he's definitely a safe one.
