Happening at our club this week: Phone 47762117 or 0487240397 to nominate for any of the following games.

Barefoot Bowls are played every Thursday night between 6-8 pm.

If you want to try your hand at playing lawn Bowls, ‘barefoot bowls’ is your opportunity to come along and have a go. The bowls are supplied by the club.

Then you have Logan Deloryn, son of a gun Lou, who happens to be in love with the game and the Bronx. Logan comes across as quiet, but don't let that fool you, as he is as tough as they come. He has a great reliable defence and game awareness when the players need him. A player you need when the game is on the line.

Then, my main man, Mr Riley Congoo. What machine, and what a player. After first seeing him play Junior League, I knew he was a special talent. Hardhitting, no-nonsense, brutal forward that no team can do without. Speed and strength are his qualities for a player of his size, and when you go to war, you'd want him in the trenches. He's a great bloke too.

All these players are the perfect mix of what our club needs. Hopefully, higher honours await them.

The weekend games in the NRL served up more than my barra spots did, so it was with little wonder I felt good about it. If you heard someone screaming like an elephant cutting his toenails during the Bronx Dragons game, that was none other than me yahooing. It twas a good victory, but like my height in recent years, I've got a long way to go to catch Larry Bird or the Celtics. The Cows weren't that bad, and you would be a crazy man writing them off yet, cause last time I checked, there were 20-something games to go, so to all the Doomsday preppers, calm the fridge down. Same with the Storms, these guys will be back before you can say WrestleMania 39, which happens to be next weekend. The Rabbitohs will need some fresh air, the Sharkies will be circling again soon, and the Tigers, well, let's hope they're on the cusp. I really like the Gold Coast, not just for the parking metre reps, but their NRL club is looking better than ok.

This week's highlight will obviously be the Dolphins Bronx game which will be the first-ever cross-town rival game between two of Brisbane's new NRL neighbours. This should be a classic, my prediction, golden point.
