Well, it's been a big day (home at 10:45pm) and my Boys and Our Team can now claim to have played at the NRL!!

It was a fantastic night and the kids absolutely loved it. The crowd was cheering them along.

When Jake scored a try he did a dancing 'Jig' with fingers pointing to the sky which made the crowd Roar!

I could waffle on for ages, but instead here are some pics.

Pic 1: Wating in the wings with Storm-Man
Pic 2: Ready at the Sideline
Pic 3: Tigers captain Scotty Prince nearly crashed into us 2 seconds after this pic!! (hurry up & get off! It's our turn)
Pic 4: HOORAY!! it's out turn!!!! We made it!! The BIG time.

Me too Gazz!

Something I never had the opportunity to do during my time as a player! But now I can do it as a coach!! I am so glad my boys got to experience it.

The whole place was electric, and the kids were still buzzing all the way home to Ballarat.

At these exhibition matches no-one keeps score, they just go flat out and play as much footy as they can in the half-time break!

But I kept track!!!

Ballarat Dragons - 3 tries

Ararat Cowboys - 4 tries

Aww gosh, thanks.

Just on an Astronomical point: The only things visible in the night sky from Olympic Park was Venus & Joop! I looked.

Walking back to the car I noticed a faint Crux & pointers too!

How do you guys survive with all the light pollution?

But I reckon the important Stars were on the field last night: My boys!!
