A Karratha Falcons player is feeling a little red-faced today after failing to give the rest of the team a rev up at training this week.
They take on the Dampier Sharks in the NPFL grand final this Saturday at Windy Ridge oval, with bouncedown at 6:30pm.
With the odds stacked against them, Martin Splint, the half back flanker, thought he was doing right by the rest of the boys by launching into a motivational spiel in the clubrooms before training.
“This is it boys. The big show,” He boomed, pausing for effect.
“This ones for all the marbles. The last stop on the gravy train.”
“No more half measures! We have to give this everything. No distractions, nothing that’s gonna slow us down! I pledge no partners in the clubrooms and no sex before the big game!
Ending his monologue, the reception from other players in the team ranged from scattered applause all the way to raised eyebrows stares to each other.
It was clear to the rest of the team that while Mr Splint meant well. he was in a bit over his head and should probably just pipe down and get on with it.
“Nice speech Splintzy. Do us a favour though and refresh our memory, when was the last time you actually got a root?”
Mr Splint promptly made his way out of the clubrooms onto the training ground and opted to plead the fifth for the rest of training.
