Losing 6 & 9 cost newton, Ecclestons centre was a bit of a machine too.
Bring on Widnes on Saturday, just dont bring that ref!! ha ha
you will know if it is the guy if he turns up late, comes into your changing rooms talks about stuff like quick taps and kicking to touch for 30 seconds then goes onto talking about ungentlymanly conduct for half and hour and gives you about 50 different examples on it. brings a tamagotchi instead of a working watch, struggles to walk and spends half of the match with his back to the game.
Ok boys here it is. THIS is the guy who has been saying we are all no good bums and he is going to smash us! This is the face to the name. His name is Mike Wharton and he will be prop on Saturday if he doesn’t chicken out. For a visual reference see this youtube freeze frame of his 'threatening face'. I use this term VERY lightly.
2. He has a below average pain threshold. I saw him actually cry 2 years ago when he slipped into a hedge in Edinburgh. FACT
3. He has a big mouth. Sometimes referred to as 'The Machine' don't be worried as this has just been shortened my teammates as 'The Penalty Machine' is a bit of a mouthful. Pinch him on the ground and watch the penalties come flooding out of his mouth.
4. He is a back trapped in a forwards body. This is evident by his attempted 'side steps' which are now slower than the cantilever swing bridge in Stockton Heath. FACT2
5. His nickname in school and still to this day (To the Newton lads he probably has hid this well but you should definitely use it) is SAD SACK. This is as Mike, right up to the age of 15, would insist on bringing his Sad Sack doll everywhere he went. Sad Sack was Mikes favourite Raggy Doll and the Raggy Dolls was Mikes favourite TV Show. The doll was like his security blanket and he was often found cuddling it in quiet corners. Sad Sack was the oldest doll in the reject bin and I guess Mike could really relate to this. FACT3
So take a good look at Sad Sack and make sure he knows he has been in a game!
