Rugby, Australian Football: That guy looked suspicious

THE day started early with a brisk session at North Cronulla Surf Club, the brief to conduct a thorough reconnaisance of the environs for the Bulldogs' training session.

A quick surveillance of the immediate landscape showed no positive signs of activity but you would be surprised at what can be made to not look like a camera these days.

Speaking of which, that guy from Channel 9 looked very suspicious.

That had to be the world's biggest mobile phone sitting on his shoulder. But he sounded genuine enough.

There was also word around that the mysterious Hugh Guys might turn up, the word coming pretty strong so my senses were on full alert.
