Old Bastards


These are the retired, worn out, been there done that "good bastards" of the Maulers who may or may not pull on the boots every so often, but whose presence at the game is always welcome.


Graham "Legs" McKenzie (241)- Legs happens to be one of the old bastards in the team, and at his undisclosed age (60 this year 2009, I believe) is one of the fittest men on the field.  Plays lock  but runs about the field like an openside flanker due to his massive calf muscles!!  Also a damn fine co-manager who maintains a tight ship.  Has decided to retire in 2011 after many years of loyal and well  managed service to the Maulers, enjoy your golf with Mona, Legs.
Favourite meal: Anything my beautiful wife cooks me
Favourite Song: Legs (She's got legs) - ZZ Top
Favourite movie: Chariots of Fire


David "Soro" Sorenson - Cannot be pesuaded to pull on his boots but has taken up the role of team spokesman at the aftermatch function where his compassion, sensitivity and good sense prevails to deliver awe inspiring, dynamic and ........ f#@%king BULLSHIT!!  Currently sight unseen in 2008, supporting his boys no doubt.
Favourite meal: Red meat
Favourite Song: Like a Virgin - Madonna

Favourite movie: Debbie Does Dallas
 


Patrick "Koozer" Johnson - A legendary player and manager of the Massey Maulers, balls the size of grapefruit, has to waddle around like a cowboy just off his horse.  Also, never put Koozer and Crusher together in the showers, you'll have nightmares!!
Favourite meal:Mountain Oysters
Favourite Song: Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis

Favourite movie: Gone with the Wind


Terry "Eski" O'Shea - Bald as a badger, he plays midfield and can glide through a gap like an ice cube on a slippery slope (imagine the slope boys, its soft, warm and cuddly)!  Played league in his younger years and has decided that the old legs are more useful on the rugby field, but the call of the "bullrush" has not escaped him.  Has jumped the ditch to reside amongst the skippies, home of NRL and "prawns on the barby, mate"
Favourite meal: Pie with a lion red
Favourite Song: Simply the Best - Tina Turner

Favourite movie: Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome


Stephen "The Bus" Campbell - Like a Stagecoach bus during rushhour traffic on a Friday afternoon, this is one bus that stops for nobody.  Playing at second five, he bulldozes through tackles with his shitlocker in the lead, and only his heels in view as you lie in his (enormous) wake.  Has also made the escape to Aussie and the golden beaches.
Favourite meal: Sardines
Favourite Song: Bus Stop -  The Hollies

Favourite movie: Speed



Grant "Auntie" Davis - You  know those great old aunties when you were a teen, at a party she'll be praising you, placing you up on a  pedestal then she would flop out those great big bouncy tits and embarass you in front of your mates - well that's how you would feel on the field if this old bastard stepped you with his crocky old knees, beware.   A retiree from 2008.
Favourite meal: Scones and a cup of tea
Favourite Song: Blue Smoke - Pixie Williams

Favourite movie: Driving Miss Daisy


Taegy "TG" Jeon - Rumour has it that TG jumped ship from a Korean driftnetter on arrival in New Zealand, and due to being continually on the run from the authorities, has the speed of a slick southern bluefin tuna chasing down a skipjack, so has been placed out on the wing to do the damage.  Not sure where he is now, believe the New Zealand Immigration may have caught up and deported him!!
Favourite meal: Here puppy, puppy.....nah vegetarian, tofu's good
Favourite Song: Six months in a leaky boat - Split Enz

Favourite movie: The Perfect Storm


Gary "Scraffy" Scrafton (95)- Another member of the team that should return to the forward pack like his fellow halfback Tama, although they don't seem to want him back due to his flailing arms and legs when jumping in the lineout.  Unlike Tama, he can actually run, even if it looks like he's got a carrot stuck up his butt!! No games in 2010 as he supported his son with first 15 rugby, suspect he may be back to score his centurion mug though!!
Favourite meal: Rabbit Stew, mmmmmm...
Favourite Song: Oma Rapiti - my kindergarten teacher, she was a stunner!!

Favourite movie: Forrest Gump


Rob  "Braveheart" Wallace- Aye, he's a bonny wee lad is our Robbie, with a swirl of his skirt, a shake of his sporran and the wheese of his gummy lungs, he heeds the call of his fellow tribesman to repel the invading hordes - without baring his ugly arse thank god!!  Another who didn't play 2009, probably due to a life threatening bunch of stings he received!!
Favourite meal: Haggis
Favourite Song: Maggie May - Rod Stewart

Favourite movie: Braveheart, gotta support my great, great Grandfather


Tama "I'm not a prop" Walters (178)   - Forever espousing the virtues of his passing game (he doesn't run so passing is all he's got), we all wish he would join the front row where his bulk can be put to  better use, rather than halfback where his slow and inaccurate service gives the inside backs the chills.  Also, who gave him control of the subs this year...there's gonna be dramas!!  Is fighting the good fight against the Big C, kia kaha bigfella.
Favourite meal: Pork bones
Favourite Song: King of the Road (trailer for sale or rent)-  Roger Miller

Favourite movie: Once Were Warriors


Adrian "Crusher" Hill - Rumour has it that he crushes more girls hearts than opposition forwards on the field, if so, he should be a shrunken, hollowed out hulk, yet he isn't....so lets crush that little rumour, plus the one that says its because the dick of the day is modelled on his that he has success with the female sex, I mean the DOD is only average, isn't it? Again, another who didn't make the 2009 season with health issues, hope things are coming right Crusher.
Favourite meal: Chocolates and Champagne
Favourite Song: My Dingaling -  Chuck Berry

Favourite movie: Caligula


Cameron "Mr Plod" Liddell (53) - Former policeman and now a pig farmer, go figure...whatever you do, don't get nabbed by this man, his headlocks are infamous.  He was introduced to the front row after a playing career in the backs, and he likes it!!!  Watch out for his speed, especially if you try to steal the ball, his earlier training will kick in. No games in 2010, pig farming keeping the big fella occupied
Favourite meal: Pork, of course
Favourite Song: The Dream Police -  Cheap Trick

Favourite movie: Police Academy

Andrew "Flick" Beattie (270)He's got a nice collection of red tonka toy fire engines, but don't tease him as there's gotta be a streak of ginge in there because he is one angry man, don't light him up or he'll douse your flame with his blanket coverage.  Retired in 2010, will miss his aftermatch pipe smoke.
Favourite meal: BBQ, anything you can light a fire under.
Favourite Song: I'm a little fire engine - me Mum

Favourite movie: The Towering Inferno


Peter "Hori" Young (216) - Another old dog with a sly grin permanently plastered on his face, I think it could be due to the viagra kicking in, but it certainly helps to keep Hori hard on the field.  The other co-manager that somehow keeps the Maulers in line.  Hung up his boots and manager role and concentrating on training those surflifesavers, good onya Hori!
Favourite meal: Oysters
Favourite Song: Can't Get Enough Of Your Love Babe - Barry White

Favourite movie: Boogie Nights


Brett "Oots" Iti (60) - Brett likes to make those cameo appearances at halfback during the season, looking like he has the skills to have been able to play at the highest professional levels in Aeotearoa, pushing the first five further and further back with his torpedo passes, then he sends a backpass that the spectators have a better chance of picking up than his teammates, that shows he's as useless as the rest of us!!!  No games in 2010, whereabouts unknown
Favourite meal: Beluga caviar and Bolinger
Favourite Song: Money - Pink Floyd
Favourite movie: Jerry Maguire



Rob "Flipper" Cooney (61) - With a nickname like flipper, you would expect to see this man surfing and skimming in the backline, and once upon a time he did, but time has taken it's toll and he is more like a manatee as he now plays off the back of the scrum, but at least he hasn't graduated to the hippos in the front row!  No games in 2010, but seen on the sideline
Favourite meal: Tuna
Favourite Song: Heroes - David Bowie

Favourite movie: Free Willy


Phil "Piripi" London (30) - "A gin and tonic before play and tally ho chaps, I'm up for a game", Phil certainly enjoys a tough game in the centres, but is more than capable of defending his "white cliffs of dover" with cover defence that spans the park.  No games in 2010, following the family around like Scraffy methinks.
Favourite meal: Pork pie and mushy peas
Favourite Song: London Calling - The Clash

Favourite movie: Anything with James Bond in it.
