New Look MBB for season 2 2011

There has been change in the Bug den during the off season; Oscar, Manuel and
Si have all headed back to their respective homelands, and Mike has officially hung up his cleats. So this leaves 10 players from last season and some exciting new additions

Diddums is back from his peace keeping mission in East Timor with the chocolate soldiers and keen to play for the bug again.

Peta McNaughton has pointed Linus 'the kid' Mueller in our direction after having played BUML for a season. He's been playing the mid year draft and been competing well against some BPL veterans.

Chris 'Milky' Penfold is another one of the damn pommies. He's been living in Newcastle (NSW not geordie shaw) for the last 6 months and will be moving up to Brisbane in the middle of August. He has been running triathlons recently rather than chasing plastic, so expect him to make some very long, if slightly slow cuts!!

TJ brought a few of his BUML team mates along to the mid season draft, and by some coincidence they all ended up playing on the East team. We have now added the monster Webb brothers to our roster.
Nick 'the smaller' Webb has been playing with What The Huck and is gaining some good field sense, and can bring out some layout D's when needed. Dan 'the bigger' Webb had previously just had a throw with his brother but has already shown a lot of improvement over the course of the last 4 weeks.

So the buggers continue their tradition of bringing rookies into the BPL. It's also good to see that Chris Cunliffe has started up another team for the league, hopefully this will help balance things out across the board. This will mean another exciting 7 team league this season with a great range of interesting match ups across the competition.
2 teams playing in their 17th-19th seasons,
1 team in their 5th,
2 teams in their 4th,
1 in their 2nd
and a brand new team.

Mike has now stepped down from the captaincy role but he will still be aiming to be a part of the team to provide our rookies with some coaching. 6th season stalwart Stu is stepping up into the captaincy role and Mat Ryan has become VC. As the only remaining Bugger from the very first team back in Feb 2006 Mat will be bringing some tactical talk to the team, along with the occasional "harden the f*ck up and play D" speeches!

So yeah.... quite a big change to the team this season. Its with pride and excitement that we present the Season 2, 2011 Moreton Bay Buggers:

#13 Stuart Austin (C)

#88 Buzz Burwell

#24 Tim Ferguson

#24 Tim Johnson
