TIGER DIARY 27.5.2011

Timmy the Tiger seems to be the self appointed social secretary of the Camellia Grove Tigerland outpost.
Busy selling raffle tickets at quarter time - prizes nicely displayed. The six pack, the bottle-o-wine and a box-a-chockies. All styles served here!
God knows where the money goes.
But numbers are up each week. Timmy might be on to something.

On the back of the Dreamtime win against the Dons, off we go to Darwin for another deep immersion in indigenous realms, still without a yellow and black-fella on the team. Daniel Motlop and Danyle Pearce will ensure a home ground advantage for Port.

What I'm really worried about though is the 30 minute time difference. Port don't have to deal with it. SA and NT share with India, Burma, Iran, Afghanistan, Labrador, Venezuela and Lord Howe Island the distinction of being the only places in the World operating on a Half-hour time difference. It's a rare space to share. We must remember not to think the 3 quarter siren marks the end of the game. (Nepal and Chatham Islands are the only places with a quarter hour diff. Tragically they will never play against each other).

My calm only returns when I recall how much tigers love the tropics.
