The Hamster's Great Idea

The Hamster came to after a particularly arduous night on the turpentine but through the haze of another shocking binge-drinking display arose an idea worth pursuing with some vigor.

It's not what we are drinking; it's how we are drinking? The Hamster had a nocturnal epiphany no less.

What about a game between the North Harbour ANZC side and the North Harbour 2nd XV?

Now that would be something worth watching, at least considering the rather impotent visual display currently on show...

Wayne Pivac vs. Blair Larsen, Spy Kelly vs. Nobody, Charles Waide vs. the judiciary?

Oh what tantalizing, mouth-watering possibilities this potential fixture could throw up to a public starved of scintillating, attractive football.

The Union is awash in a "sea of bar-leaner chit-chat", all amateur selectors, mainly promoting the fledging careers of previously unknown players suspiciously linked to their individual clubs. What a way to silence the doubters and for once let the players "duke" it out in a winner takes all challenge. (whatever that means)

It is both visionary and conceptual in its brilliance but simple and masterful at the same time.

I am a bloody furry genius! - Bring it on!

(This may not have been expressly my own idea, but I will claim all credit)
