Silver Bullets

The name of this team was not inspired by any fascination with werewolves, vampires or Stephen King horror flicks, but rather the spectre of Gordo, our once great but now fallen leader.

It is in Gordo's Silver Bullet that we find ourselves implored to never take soft options, either on the playing field or after the game and to back ourselves in, time and time again.

This was superbly (and famously) demonstrated by Gordo in 2001 whilst playing for the Silver Bullets when he mesmerised the opposition with his pace and swerve from inside centre, whilst providing a running commentary for those in support.

It was later that evening, during the hearty post match celebrations that Gordo was also to provide a running commentary of how to conduct oneself with distinction in another arena, and with another form of opposition, no less daunting than that encountered earlier on in the day.

The enemy, although not initially wanting to succumb, did so meekly when the Silver Bullet emerged, reverberating as it did with fury and a sense of promise.

It is with this spirit and verve that hopefully the side will be able to play in the inaugural Bondi 10s tournament.
