> From all reports the game in florida against leeds was a success apart
from Scott Geddes injuring his hamstring. There was a big promotion in the media
over there, some of you may have seen spud carroll on the tonigh show, the match
was a sellout and al the merchandise they took over was sold too. In the actual
game Leeds ran out to a 26-0 lead at halftime but we fought back with mostly
a second string side to make the final score 26-24. Russell Crowe was presented
with a motorbike built in rabbitoh colours from the "American Chopper boys.

>Well our boys are in Jacksonville Florida preparing for the trial game against
Leeds Rhinos 4am sunday morning our time. The game is not scheduled to be televised
at this stage but it will be broadcast live on internet radio. You can tune
in online here 1010XL internet
radio I tuned in a few minutes agthe guys discussing our game. They were
amazed that "these guys hit as hard as the NFL with no padding". It
will not only be a good hitout against Leeds but it will also raise our international
profile.
