Spring time for the Buggers

Season 2 is upon us and the Buggers are back in business.

Suiting up this season under the Big Bug are:

Bug 13 #22 Adam Beu 13th season
Bug 64 #88 Buzz Burwell 5th season
Bug 71 ## David Campbell 2nd season
Bug 62 #24 Tim Ferguson 6th season
Bug 63 #24 Tim Johnson 6th season
Bug 52 #12 Trevor Lovering 8th season
Bug 66 #5 Rob Lowe 4th season
Bug 72 ## Brenton Mottershead 2nd season
Bug 25 #20 Graham Prickett  7th season
Bug 43 #50 Anthony Ross  9th season
Bug 11 #33 Mat Ryan (C) 13th season
Bug 74 ## Jack Tudor 2nd season
Bug 75 ## Timothy Webb 2nd season


The Bugger team for season 2 2012 is fairly similar to the season 1 incarnation. 12 members return to the action from season 1 and the addition of 7 season Bug legend Graham 'Special G' Prickett rounds out at 13 players.

This Bugs team is the most experienced in Buggers history with 79 total seasons with the Buggers and an average number of seasons with the team of 6. Time will tell whether this experience together helps the Buggers show cohesion on the field.

Team captain Mat and Jangles both rack up their 13th seasons and lead the team both on the field and in team culture. Encouragingly 4 of the 5 first season Bugs have returned for their second season and league rookies David Campbell, Jack Tudor and Tim Webb will all look to have fast starts to the seasons after the steep learning curve as a BPL rookie.

The back bone of the Moreton Bay Buggers this season will be the large batch of blokes playing their 4th though 9th seasons. The challenge for the Buggers in season 2 of 2012 will be to make the most of their shared experience and play to the team plan for each new opponent.

The Buggers are fired up for their 17th season in the BPL and are confident these are the men to drag the team back to the top of the competition.
