2. Quivering cowardliness out west (6,5)
3. Rustle? (4,5)
SOLUTION NEXT WEEK
LAST WEEK’S PUZZLE:
DA Puzzle 10
Here’s another trio of clues, pointing to current players from the one club. Keep in mind the clues are purely wordplay, with no definition. You’ll also find that the clues are ordered – in Brownlow style – from kind (1) to killer (3). Away you go.
1. Heard Tasmania town (and state) lost paid player (6,5)
2. Wildly annoyed covering tight wingers (4,5)
3. Spooner’s bogus saying (3,4)
LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION: CROWS: Bernie Vince [province – pro], Andy Otten [anag around TT], Sam Shaw
Took me a long time to crack number 3. Brilliant, DA!
Thanks Gigs.
And speaking of gigs, I’ve really enjoyed compiling this clue series, though next week is my last hurrah. Three more mystery players to unmask, with #3 another head-hurter!
Cheers DA
