Watt's and Wagg's extraordinary twist
An emergency semina was called when two committee men watching the Newport Gwent Dragons v Llanelli Scarlets on S4C spotted Waggs in what looked like intense negotiations with Alex Popham and two Scarlets 'Big Wigs'. Jaffa opened proceedings commenting that on boxing day he had over heard Waggs girlfriend saying how handsome he had looked in a Scarlets shirt, but thought no more of it.
Mike Stephens then added that he was at the game and had passed by the above mentioned get-together on his way back from the bar with 6 pints. When questioned by the chairman as to who else was with him Stephens replied, only me, but I have a bad leg and wanted to save myself another journey before half time. Rhino complemented Stephens on his good thinking!
Stephens went on that he definitely saw an envelope pass hands and it was definitely brown. He also added that at half time, whilst in the queue for another six pints he was behind the Big Wigs who he heard say, (quote)"Well he can cover Mark Jones on International Matches and we only have to change the M for a W in our programme which will save us money" (unquote). The chairman then asked Stephens if he had anything else to report and he replied no everything else is a blurrrr!!!! but I think the Dragons won.
Shaun Phillips proposed that we offer Wagg's centre spread in the new club calender, captaincy of the beach 7's team on tour in St Jean De Lux, a promise that every time we win ball from now on it will be passed to him. And finally that the club will change next years strip to match Scarlets. All agreed and Rhino sent Ashley to find a bigger envelope than Scarlets used to put the inducements in. Watt's asked if we were now going to discuss his second broken nose which he received on boxing day. He said all he could vaguely remember was side stepping 8 past players, handing off 4 more, bouncing Shaun Rendall then when held by 6 others getting a whack in the face. He continued that two highly respected stalwarts of the club, Arthur Padfield and Dai Rees witnessed Wagg's running away laughing just after the incident. Lawson Short ask him if he had been smoking anything before the game as he could not remember the run in question but he would ask the clubs investigator Gwyn 'Chief Ironsides' Edwards to look into it. Rhino stepped in saying that in light of what has happened, Wagg's, like the sponsors, committee, lottery team, bar staff and Dawn he was now untouchable. The chairman's snoring had become too loud to continue so the seminar ended. To be continued...
