Wooden Spoon Premiership
I reckon the Rabbitohs are pretty well assured of the wooden spoon this year, even if we're only just coming on to halfway through the season. Round 12, at ANZ Stadium, against the Dragons, started off with an early try by Souths, only to see the opposition take the lead, with only a (very) late final try to make the score remotely more even. Still, it was a good game, with only a very little of the kind of poor ball handling the Rabbitohs exhibited early in the season, and some remarkable moments of play on either side, particularly when Illawarra failed to capitalize on a series of knocking on advances in one that should have ended with a try, save for the persistence of one defender. That was one of those sporting moments that only come up rarely, and worth the game.

Had to look up the wooden spoon. Too bad about the Bunnies.

I think it may have something to do with the name.

How that game is played is as mysterious as the work you do. You use real, English words but they do not have ordinary meaning.
Go Bunnies, anyway.

And you should pray that our Cubbies day game (the tickets for which cost a small fortune), does not get rained atout.
