Fair effort for canada to have 9 in the team.

Well done renee.
Hope that 10k helped you learn about the sport more.
Have a great time. And learn how we drink shots in Melbourne

Just to go back in time a bit ...

"The contest is for an athletic dream ... not for an Australian vacation ..."

She made the national team, she made the trip to Oz, she made the world team; now if that's not an athletic dream I don't know what is.

Onya tonga! Onya Genuine Health

Well done Renee. Gave them a damn good Zwickering.

Well done Renee. Gave them a damn good Zwickering.

Not true. Renee played fair, the exact opposite of Zwickering.

Im very reluctant to allow this post to stand, and may remove it upon further consideration. I think we need to let that part of the story go and bask in the merits of renees win, trip to australia, and selection in the world side.

I agree it's time to put that part of it to bed, however, I've just finishing re-reading almost the entire thread and think that that post should stand as the last installment of the role Natasha's played in this story. Earlier in the thread, after Renee was only named as an emergency, Nat146 posted "To Renee and all the big footy forum ... 10k gone to waste ... KARMA really is a bitch and has come to bite you all in the ass!" So getting to this part, where Renee made it out to Oz, played well and made the world team, while Natasha and hers are still chasing contest money, is such a perfect representation of Karmic outcome.

As a final note to this story. Video of the third place game, USA Freedom (American firsts) verse Canada Midnight Suns (Canadian Seconds). Tonga number 29, looks to be playing mostly in the middle. http://womensfooty.com/videos/ic-2014-3rd-place-us-freedom-vs-canada-midnight-suns

Sorry for the late bump, but I noticed the Northern Lights' squad for the 49th Parallel Cup is missing our hero tonga - does this mean you're hanging up the boots? Or just unlucky to make it this time?

 

[Sanecow]

Good question. It's barrel racing season ATM so everyone's in Calgary.

 

[Sidebottom2Beams]

Ahhhh the thread where Gursssss became part of the English language, good times.

 

[tonga]

Yup, I have been in hiding this year . I'm back in school for massage therapy which is a one year intensive program, so its a lot of work - I've only made it out to two trainings this year. I didn't want to half ass either school or footy so let's just say I'm on a hiatus at the moment. School won this round!

Thanks bigfooty walking round a boring art gallery with my wife in Canberra, reading this thread made it far more interesting. Awesome thread Gurrs!

P.s already had filthy looks for laughing by artsy types

Having a great laugh two years after the event reading all this. This particular post also reminds me of the time my ex took me to an art gallery and asked me the first thing that came to mind when viewing a certain painting...I wasn't whispering when I said "ten-pin bowling"...yeah, those filthy looks are worth it...!
