Grand Final Function confirmed for The Metro, Seminyak Sepetmber 29, 12pm - final siren...cold beer, tipping contest, sweepstakes, raffles, sangs and burgers...

 

Peter “Gunny” Muir (Coach) – Long time coach and mentor. The GUN is always quick off the mark. 

Dan “Pizza” Brooks (President) – A pizza hut like delivery with a family size turning circle. Defacto president to the Geckos as he was absent for the AGM, has learnt his lesson. A Pom by birth but from good Australian stock, “Pizza” still at times struggles with the rules so please excuse his back chat as he just does not know.

Greg “Hinchy” Hinchliffe – Boasts he has never missed a Geckos game yet, even with becoming a father pre Asian Champs 2006, but that hasn’t softened the hard man up.

Mark “The Ging” Parthezius- Red haired Terrier through the centre of the ground who never loses his control (except whilst asleep). Has sometimes been known to make it back to the hotel before falling asleep but has a spot on the pavement reserved as a back up.

Peter “Turkey” Frobose – Dis is der tal deutche volk dat bezer gut at der jumping und der running but nicht zo gut at der drinking und ze talking mit der frauleins.

Sammy “Buckets” Gosling (Captain) – “Buckets” Captain of the Geckos and a sterling leader in the midfield he approaches every game with the kind of indominatable fighting spirit that exemplifies the Geckos, however seems to run out of energy on the post match trail so please return him to the hotel if you find him asleep in a the corner of a bar.  

Chad “Nude” Paull – Naturalist and resurgent forward line goal kicker who is always disappointed that the Geckos will not let him play in the nude. That’s just a weapon that we’d rather keep holsted. Has a new lease of life in the forward line which has led to a delay his retirement.  

Dave “Shnelly” Schonell – Pearl farming (want to be Goal kicking) full back who never gives an inch on the field but will give several under water though.

Dave “Disco” Homann – The Gecko still formally known as Shitheap who had a widdle accident recently and hurt his pinky riding bikes in the park, Yet to see how this loosened grip will affect his ability to pull.

Stewart “Hendo” Henderson– “Close friend” of the former retired ex president, this experience player brings rigidity and firmness to the Geckos spine. The former captain is a safe pair of hands in any occasion. Mountain on the field turns to hillock on the piss.

Steve “Stiffy” Jeisman – Ferocious heel biter who loves a good yap, swooner extrodinaire, sweet talking “Stiffy” will stay as close to his man as he does to the ladies, seems to make people feel like thumping him, just ask his better half.

Tim “Sea Gull” Beeson – Backman, also bald, and with a knick name that no one understands.

“Texas” Nick Klaus – Our recent Texan import has filled our quota of amnesiac players. Plays a great game but wishes he could remember it the next day. Looking for big things after all Asian rep in rookie year. Odds on favorite for the tor “black eye” award.

Ed “Od” Andrews – Enigmatic, mysterious, some might say unintelligible Protégée of the Nude. “I honestly didn't do it, it wasn't me, can't have been me….” But invariably was. Often leaves the pack to rove solo but dependable on the field.

Troy “Sinner” Sinclair – Scottish bred Sunshine Coast Rugby boy who is permanently on the look out for opportunity. Loves his chocolate milk shakes but will take it how ever it comes. Excellent at origami. Very handy on and off the field.

Simon “Tripper” MacGregor –Cultural attaché to Scandinavia, The Tripper is a happy go lucky chap with a fondness for the cold, Saunas, snow and other legal dietary supplements. Won't let this affect his game on the day but will keep him dancing all night.

Brad “R2B2” Fraser - Reconstructed by the Australian Government at great expense after a tragic car accident. They couldn't find all the pieces and did the best they could but after failing to reconnect his mouth to his brain, have vowed never to make the same mistake again. Talks trash but plays a hard game.

Mick “Rocco” Sarong – a recent rugby convert, struggling to learn the ropes but showing great natural ability despite being a little disappointed that the Aussie code doesn’t encourage you to stick your head up another blokes ass. Has found that still being able to walk at the end of a game is good compensation.

Nathan “Flaxi" Flax – Recent returnee to the land of his fathers, great things are expected of young Flax, whilst still learning his way around the oval, his off field leadership qualities have proven invaluable on previous tours.

Shane “Pritch” Pritchard – Former Cold War spy and deep cover insert into enemy territory operating under the code name of Wombat burrow, now plays in the back line. Has broken his fingers more times than he has broken others under interrogation. A surely dependable influence in the back line.

Lee “Uzi” Hughes – The only gecko who can actually admit to being able to play the game. Experienced and dependable and a sure force in the Geckos attack.
