Team Members
The following
information may or may not truly reflect the qualities of said players,
viewer beware.....and don't take it personally, eh. Games played
in brackets are from end of last season, thanks to management for
keeping the records going. Also, be sure to check out our past members .
Roger "XXXX tats you bastard" Blundell (95) -
Editor of the site, so more intelligent than all the forward pack
if their brains could be linked together, faster than a speeding
bullet, defence of a tiger, all round good guy with looks to match,
shit its good to be me (and a mauler of course)
Favourite meal: My Michelin star type homecooking of course, did I mention my chefing skills?
Favourite Song: Being the great songwriter I am, Led Zep was given permission to perform Kashmir for me, good eh?
Favourite movie: And you thought George Lucas created Starwars, not even man!!
Debbie "Taxiiii" Colquhoun (0) -The
2011 unanimous winner of Team Manager, she'll be running a tight
ship and will keep us maulers honest. Taxi, a certain 50th
birthday image is etched on my mind...damn fine image (sorry
Jamie, its all above board, mmmmm PVC)
Favourite meal: New York Pizza
Favourite Song: Theme from Taxi.
Favourite movie: Taxidriver.
Mark "Puss" Page (305)-
Puss is a tiger off the side of the scrum, so beware the nickname.
Has untold experience, played over 300 games for the Maulers, and
still looks young....that's because he was only ten years old
when he started playing for the team!!! He took 2010 off to repair
his shoulder damage from the Aspen trip, will see him this year back in
the team fer sure!!
Favourite meal: Fish and chips
Favourite Song: Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
Favourite
movie: Catwoman
Steve "Cameltoe" Cammell (64) -
One of the vertically challenged members of the Maulers, Cameltoe
certainly travels at a faster rate than the ship of the desert, and
doesn't have the angry man syndrome found in many of the shorter
members of the human race. He normally plays on the wing and has
been known to provide some stern defence because the big fellas try to
pick on him.
Favourite meal: Hummus and dates, mate
Favourite Song: Desert Song - My Chemical Romance
Favourite movie: Arabian Nights
Grant "Sumo" Castle (200) -
The prop with the silly grin, Sumo always has something to smile about
as he demolishes the opposition front row with his latest sneaky move.
A panelbeater by trade, has been known to knock a few opposition
members into submission with his driving runs (maximum five metres, or
he passes out).
Favourite meal: Anything, as long as there's lots of it
Favourite Song: Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting - Carl Douglas
Favourite movie: Karate Kid
Brett "Carbs" Carbines (106)
- His defence may be as devastating as a round from his surname, but
it's his "ball in hand" skills around the paddock that stands out, and
those velcro hands....why pass when you can take a hit!!
Favourite meal: Marlin, oh and vietnamese
Favourite Song: We gotta get out of this place - The Animals
Favourite movie: Rambo
Dean "Lardro" Rehua (78)
- Nickname probably has something to do with a gain in weight some
seasons ago, but he has now bulked down into a mean, lean,
don't hit me I can't fight(ing) machine. His silky skills at
fullback (and most other backline positions) will be needed if he can
get his knees to co-operate, and if he doesn't keep dropping his
motorbike!
Favourite meal: Food from my birthplace, Sri Lanka
Favourite Song: On the Road Again - Willie Nelson
Favourite movie: Motorcycle Diaries
Ben "Scud" Lee (8)-
Running from the side of the scrum, like a scud missile his hits are
devestating, knocking opposition off their feet with no respect for his
own body.
Favourite meal: Halal lamb
Favourite Song: War - Edwin Starr
Favourite movie: Jarhead
Dean "Start me up" Jackson (40)
- More like "don't start me up" or I'll shock you with a tricky
manouvre, so tricky that my teammates won't know what's happening let
alone the opposition. Plays in the backline closest to the
halfback, but tries to stand so far back he may as well be the fullback.
Favourite meal: Lentil soup
Favourite Song: Don't Bring Me Down - ELO
Favourite movie: E.T.
Richard "Billy the Kid" Meehan (45) -
One of the young guns playing out in the 2nd five/centres, defence
like a brick wall and quick off the draw, don't go gunslinging with
this dude. Took timeout in 2007 but is now back in the fold firing from
the base of the scrum, but will no doubt spend some time in the
backline somewhere.
Favourite meal: Lamb spit
Favourite Song: Billy Get Your Gun - Jon Bon Jovi
Favourite movie: Young Guns
Brendon "Shrek" Clarkson (76)
- One of the BDL's of the team, has been known to pick daisies in the
field and save snails from a stomping, but don't get this gentle giant
riled up, as he'll rampage down the field like a bull in Pamplona. Voted el Capataine in 2011
Favourite meal: Mushrooms
Favourite Song: Monster Mash - Bobby "Boris" Pickett
Favourite movie: Ratatoullie, I hate those Shrek movies
Brett "BJ" James (159)
- Playing in the centres, the only blowjob you'll get from this man is
the rush of air as he sidesteps you. Of course, if you do decide
to stand in his path, beware of the faceplant fend.
Favourite meal: Ice Cream
Favourite Song: Blowing in the Wind - Bob Dylan
Favourite movie: Soro's movie aint bad, but I like the better artistic values of American Pie
Tony "Yeah Mon" Andrews (53)
- Tony may appear to be a relaxed and laid back loosie but place him on
the green stage and watch him snaffle the ball like a jamaican finding
a discarded joint in a tinnie house and run like said jamaican
when the gang finds out!!
Favourite meal: Chips and dip
Favourite Song: Get up, Stand up - Bob Marley
Favourite movie: Cheech and Chong in Up in Smoke
Paul "PC" Currin (93)-
The choirboy of the team, that innocent smile he lays on the opposition
from the centres is designed to lull them into a false sense of
security, there is nothing "PC" about PC when he's lining you up for
the tackle, hitting hard and high is his motto!!
Favourite meal: New world cuisine
Favourite Song: Young Ones - Cliff Richard
Favourite movie: Not the movie, but the great british TV show, The Young Ones
Tony "Tattoo" Fraser (140) -
Well you can't keep a good bastard down, retired in 2007 after some
damage done to his face during a game,
unfortunately the doctors weren't able to improve on what was already
there! But they did repair his jaw, so the 2007 Massey Under 21's had
to put up with his constant chatter as opposed to the refs in
our grade. But its 2010, and sorry refs, he's baaaack!!
Tattoo? - those are the marks he loved to leave on oppostion bodies....
Favourite meal: Black pudding
Favourite Song: Tattoo - The Who
Favourite
movie: I lust after Angelina Jolie, so anything she's in
Gary "Sooley" Soole (61)
- You always need a mongrel in the forwards, and this is the biggest
mongrel we've got. Eye gouges, blindside king hits, goolie
crushers, spitting, biting and hopolaties - everyone in the team has
experienced it, now all we need is for him to trial it on the
opposition!!
Favourite meal: Here puss puss puss...
Favourite Song: When my cousins play Dueling Banjos
Favourite movie: Deliverance
Stuart "Doh" Taylor (132)
- Our head down arse up No.8, but there's one thing during a game that
he really hates "Guys are always patting my bald head for luck,
pinching my belly to hear my girlish laugh... please don't do it
fellas". You heard it here first guys !!
Favourite meal: Donuts, mmmmm....and hot dogs mmmm....oh and Burgers mmmm.....
Favourite Song: Do the Bartman - Bart Simpson
Favourite movie: The Simpsons , you know its a doc...docu uhmmm real life eh?
Matty "Mighty Roots" Oakes (249)
- Another grandaddy of the team who plys his trade in the deepest
darkest depths of the front row, with his intrinsic knowledge of
the art and skullduggery of forward play (bet I lost a few forwards
with that lot), the front row is well served.
Favourite meal: Baked Beans
Favourite Song: Ake Ake Kia Kaha E - 28th Maori Battalion
Favourite movie: Blazing Saddles
Stephen "Becks" Beck (150) - This is no typical lock, the nickname may be a type of beer but
this is a beer bottle that ain't empty from the neck up, nope he's
highly intelligent, yet...he still likes placing his head between
Sumo's and Matty's arse!!! Must be a masochist.
Favourite meal: Anything with chillies
Favourite Song: Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Favourite movie: Silence of the Lambs
Nigel "Showpony" Clemas (182)
- Every team needs a showpony to aspire to, and here's one that's a bit
broken, waiting for early retirement and is now the local kids hack,
but hey mate, we still love ya moves out on the field.
Favourite meal: Carrots
Favourite Song: Wildfire - Mike Murphey
Favourite movie: Black Beauty
Peter "Baxta" Baker (122) -
Have been told the reason for his nickname, but the brain was never
engaged. At least its better than the unofficial nickname that
gets bandied about after he drops the ball, misses a tackle or tries
his manager skills on the bad boys of the team. One thing you can
say is Baxta is a constant support to the team and that is all you
require from a mauler.
Favourite meal: Chicken
Favourite Song: Words - The Bee Gees.
Favourite movie: Mr Beans Holiday.
Asema "Ace" Williams (104)
- Biggles on speed, Ace is our flying winger who effortlessly
powers around the field like a rocket fuelled mack truck, that is why
he doesn't know how to stop or turn, ah well you can't ask for
everything...
Favourite meal: Cornbeef and Taro
Favourite Song: Fly like an Eagle - Steve Miller Band
Favourite movie: Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines
Rob "Spanky" Chisholm (13)-
Was told how he got his nickname, but decided it was too boring,
no, spanky rhymes with hanky panky, and thats what he gets up to
in the hidden recesses of the ruck, then its up to the refs
to provide the spanky to him (before he gets home anyway)!!
Favourite meal: Baby food fed to me in my high chair
Favourite Song: Hanky Panky - Tommy James and the Shontells.
Favourite movie: Eyes Wide Shut.
Dean "Duck" Masters (93)
- He paddles around the field at first five dictating play and letting
loose with his trusty boot, but don't ask him to run, he can only
waddle.
Favourite meal: Don't feed me my cousins, but give me puha any day.
Favourite Song: Rubber Ducky - Ernie
Favourite movie: Sesame Street
Moses "Angelface" Uele (40)
- The morals and decorum officer for the Maulers, sees the good side in
the most evil members of the squad, but has his job cut out if he
thinks he can turn us all into gods little helpers. Beware, this
man knows how to part the waters through the opposition ocean without raising a sweat.
Favourite meal: Hot cross buns
Favourite Song: Jesus loves the little children.
Favourite movie: The Ten Commandments.
Neil "Chopper" Felton 37) -
Not quite as mad as the Mad Butcher, this butcher has the trademark
ability to cut anything and anyone down to size with his terrifyingly
hard and uncompromising tackles, so watch out for him in the
centres. Has now moved into the blindside position, and is as devestating as ever.
Favourite meal: Pork chops
Favourite Song: You took the words right out of my mouth - Meatloaf.
Favourite movie: Chopper (Reid) of course.
Jason "Tassie" Radonovich (50) -
Tassie is a convict from the lucky country, although he tries to tell
us he was born in Christchurch, which doesn't help his argument at all,
because they are all one eyed convicts down there. He enjoys
all the dark and dirty vices available to mankind,
Moses has his job cut out with this guy, and so have the opposition!
Favourite meal: Apple pie
Favourite Song: The Prisoner - Iron Maiden.
Favourite movie: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
Mike "Junior" Hynd (52) -
Got dragged along a couple of seasons ago a complete virgin to rugby
and forward play, has now had a taste of the sensual delights of
placing his head amongst the frontrow arses and is loving it.
Favourite meal: Easter Eggs
Favourite Song: Fat bottomed girls - Queen.
Favourite movie: The Flintstones.
Aaron "Anvil" Sandford (30) - They say an anvil is
a basic tool. In the simplest terms it is a block with a hard surface
on which another object is struck, said object is then deformed into a
new, possibly bruised shape, and that about sums up Aaron when on a
roving commission out in the wings, or anywhere else he pops up on the
field
Favourite meal: Black Muriwai sand, always loved it since I was a kid
Favourite Song: The day that never comes - Metallica.
Favourite movie: Anvil, the story of anvil
Jamie "Hoon" Colquhoun (25) -Our
blond adonis with the long, flowing golden locks running it up to the
opposition...well that might be the youthful image in Jamies head, but
we know him as the follically challenged, gammy legged, run it straight
up the guts midfielder that all maulers like.
Favourite meal: Burger King
Favourite Song: Little Deuce Coupe - The Beach Boys.
Favourite movie: American Graffiti.
Brian "Chappy" Chapman (8) -
Chappy is a front row props wet dream when lifting in the lineout,
skinny as a rake, tall and light, got the angry ginga syndrome so will
fight at the top of the lift for the pill.....only problem is, he's
shortsighted and damn near blind so can't catch for shit , you can't
win them all, eh Chappy!!
Favourite meal: Scraps...I like scraps!
Favourite Song: If you don't know me by now - Simply Red
Favourite
movie: Movies, can't sit that long, happy slapping on utube is the way to go though...
Wayne "Mac" MacDonald (14) -Big
Mac trundles round the field on his stout scottish stumps squashing the
opposition, his big red nose smelling out the fear while swilling his
single malt whiskey and shaking his sporran.
Favourite meal: Big Macs with super sized everything
Favourite Song: Scotland the Brave
Favourite movie: Super Size Me, I was a star!
Peter "Naunau" Nau (134) -
Every team needs a man who is the epitome of sophistication, and our
aftermatch red wine drinking, sweet cologne smelling Samoan assasin
fits the bill superbly. Naunau raises the front
row intelligence quotient above bloody thick to "just about
able to string a sentence together" only problem is it
takes at least five reds before we can understand Naunau!!
Favourite meal: Merlot followed by Shiraz and a smidgen of Cab Sav
Favourite Song: Red red wine - UB40
Favourite
movie: Sideways
Greg "Moose" Melvin (14) -
In season, his roar can be heard for miles around, as he tries to
corral the opposition and his fellow players around him to form the
magical rugby scrum, then he lets loose with a bloody great wet fart
destroying everyone within smelling distance, good one Moose.
Favourite meal: Grass, moss and lichen, as long as its green and I can fart good
Favourite Song: The Moose song, they love me in Canada
Favourite movie: Deerhunter, bloody vermin!!
Greg "Slippers" Sneddon (19) -
Sounds like a nice comfortable grandaddy shoe, but Slippers lurks out
in midfield and the name describes a player that is as slippery as an
eel, or is it because he slips a few tackles, you be the judge!
Favourite meal: Whitebait fritters
Favourite Song: Slippery when wet - The Commodores
