As always this reporter is on the job 28/8 and has stumbled across news from the 1EE camp prior to the team announcement tomorrow night (Monday 25)
Following the disruption between Coach and the Moray Twins an inside "leak" of information has told me the twins have become so close they now play as one.
This "joined at the hip" developement will allow Crow to name both players in the same position due to a loophole in the rules.
Although Crow is expected to name the twins on the bench my informant tells me they will be in the run on side.
I have also heard there are changes to the backline with Crow stepping aside to allow rising star whoppa to take his centre spot.
whoppa has shown great promise in the lower grades and Crow was quoted as saying
"I am prepared to take a hit for the team to allow whoppa free range to prove his true game" he said.
Crow will shift into the forwards as a running backrower.
HH - SK @ Chop Shop has been dropped for disciplinary reasons (unauthorised name change) and will be replaced by up and coming sledger SchnitzleKilt who like whoppa has shown great promise since arriving at 1EE.
Controvery surrounds the dropping of SE22 & ParraNutta from the bench making way for Turpsy and The Joker to impress.
SE22 & ParraNutta were "somewhat ordinary in games 1 & II" (Coach's words) and have paid the penalty of now playing in the warm up game prior to the main game.
SE22 is a proud man and will not take this lightly - I for one would NOT be surprised to see him named for the Cavies
This is an ALL or NOTHING match for both teams and they will pursue a win at any cost.
In the opposing camp I can reveal that the Dwarf at the centre of the attempted trade off with the twins is none other than Mini-Mack.
Make no mistakes about it - even a Mini Mack will be a formidable force rumbling down the centre of the field.
1EE team announcement is on Monday which will be followed shortly afterward by the announcement of the Cave Dwellers team.
Tension is high - the steaks are sizzling on the Barbie and good sauce is in short supply.

Cant ever say you didnt take your fair share of acid in your day ...Keep it up Colin
I was drunk and he gave me an SK forever shirt to wear (I though it was Calvin Klein) and apparently that is on the list of illicit substances on the NRL published listing.
Again the power of the media comes to the fore (perhaps even comes to the FIVE)
HH - so drunk he cannot tell the difference between CK and SK.
I am sure he must have noticed the terrible rash using these illicit substances would cause.
Team changes in the offing - Do we dare to mention someone singing on the hill - again.
The long range weather forecast is excellent for this clash
The groundsmen are preparing a fast wicket BUT they tell us it will also take a lot of spin.
Fireworks are on the program before and during the match.
PLUS - the game ball is being shipped up the Parramatta River in chicken wire canoes being paddle by Labradors.
