Love your work…thank you

you could probably come back for a few more seasons, win a premiership maybe and then join him in the wonders hof

I’m weirdly loyal to the Swamprats.

I know, I’m scared too.

Unfortunately Wonders I come bearing terrible news of the passing of one of our favourite Wonders, Grand Uncle Horace

I had the please of many interactions with him over the years and he will be sorely missed.

Rest easy old friend.

Mod. Notice - Vale Grand Uncle Horace

It is with great sadness that I announce our Grand Uncle Horace has left us. He had been ill for some time and this battle was one he could not argue with... Well, he probably did - Uncle could and would argue with anyone about just about anything, but some debates cannot be won. He was...

Hey guys,

Just dropping in to commiserate on the loss of Grand Uncle Horace from your club, he was always a favourite to banter with, charming his way to being the #1 ticket holder at the Bombers.

Are you planning to keep him on the list this season? Pretty sure there will be plenty of support if you need it at committee level.

Hoping you can find ways to appropriately honour him this season, we are open to any suggestions and offer our support.

Please reach out if there is anything we can do to assist.

Thanks Jabba,

We've asked to allow to play Round 1 with him and I don't believe this was knocked back. I believe however this will be his final game with the Wonders (so one to appreciate and acknowledge accordingly this Sunday).

Much like is status quo around here, keeping someone deceased on our list is not really in the best interests of anyone - GUH, teammates, opposition and potential posters seeking to join our club in the near future. A send off game is a nice touch and something I believe we as a community can all agree on as an appropriate tribute to honour those who have given so much to this place, GUH especially. Final games as a customary homage I think is more than appropriate.

We're back

It's not the result we were after but we'll seek to find that #WestCoastEdge and bring some fast and cool movement into our game style in the weeks to come.

Round one saw akkaps return to the Wonders (and what a bloody game!) while Giant YoYo made their league debut (also put on a clinic) and Rubber Arm made their club debut.

It was great to see Pamcake1 and dogs105 back to their posting best.

Thanks eagleskickass for joining us for the week

The Sweet Olympics are going on at the moment and there hasn't been a lot of Wonders success so far but Pamcake1 was able to grab a silver medal in the Fencing.

I think I told you to suck it up, lol.

There's really no way around it unfortunately other than possibly having one team play two games each round for the first 2 fixtures. It would mean that there are uneven byes but it's the price you have to pay.
