A chewy one this week:
No 3 is a Bomber dynasty;
No 5, a defensive Saint;
No 7 goes for the Blues
But a chiselled athlete he ain’t.
No 8, a one-time Demon
Is now running round in stripes;
No 20 is a Roos rebounder;
While the next two northern types –
22 and 24 –
Comprise the rucking sorts;
Meantime 25 debuted
For the team 27 supports.
(Can you account for all nine numbered identities?)
Solution to DA’s Clue of the Round (21): Using just the offered letters as often as you need, you can make SAM MITCHELL, BRENT STANTON, ADAM MCPHEE and HEATH SHAW.
This is a sticky one! I’m thinking 3 Scott Gumbleton, which suggests an avenue to pursue, but I can’t take it any further as yet.
