The leading economic drain on the Betoota Mutts has confirmed this week that he is now pretty much just asking the club physiotherapist to turn him into a mummy.
The club veteran who always has a bit to say about the latest batch of colts, made the admission after clicking the clubs strapping tape bill over $500 before the final pre-season trial had even finished.

“I may as well just ask them to perform the Egyptian mummification process on me know,” said the backrower who should really be paying the physio for the hour of work she has to do on him every week.

“Um, no. He should retire immediately,” explained head physio Alice Wilson.
“We draw straws on who has to strap him each week, but that aside, he won’t be able to walk when he’s fifty already, and he seems to wear it like a badge of honour.”
“Besides, they’ve gotta sell roughly 50 sausage sandwiches each week to accommodate the financial cost of strapping him.”
More to come.
