2026-05-26 My First Games In 2 Years (Over East), Aitaua First Game Back in Mandurah, "Let's Join The Crew" is out! Prison Escape!






























Paish: I played my first two games of rugby in 2 years, and I scored two pretty nice tries too!

We played Manly in the first game, which was a bit of an easy one, but my try was a cut through the middle and race to the line - it was so cool, and I loved it! My knee was fine, but I hurt my shin kicking a conversion which was funny.

Our second game was against the Brumbies, and I started. My shin was fine, and I set up the first try with a scoot from a ruck, scored the second try with neat back line interpassing with the winger, and then gave the winger a try I could have scored myself. It was a fun game, and we won it by around 30 points.

It was so nice to be back on the pitch. My knee reacted a little to the increase in load, so I will need to manage that. I loved it though, and can't wait for the season!

Rox worked out that Aitaua and I had exactly the same number of days out, to the day! Crazy. Well done us both!

Rox: I did my first ball work with Liam! It was such a surprise as I thought I was just doing some running. It felt great, and I took a video of it too! Unfortunately, that was overshadowed by me running out of petrol in Wanneroo at some traffic lights. George had to go and get a Gerry can for me, but it was so embarrassing!

Aitaua had her first game back vs Rangers in Mandurah. It was a pretty close game right up until the last quarter, and she played 7 minutes per quarter, and did well!

S: Amazing games Paish! So proud of you! Your tries were so good!

Well done Rocky Roo with your ball work too - not long now!

My new album "Let's Join The Crew" was out on 20th May 2026! It sounds really good, and I am pretty proud of it as it came out how I wanted. It's had a great reception too!

Burning Fruit excursion - Prison Break - it was so much fun, and we ended up top of the table!

C: So proud of you girls and Aitaua! Paish and Aitaua have been out exactly the same number of days - to the day!

Bau: I love my blue bau again! I almost got attacked by some big dogs in the bush - I showed them! Mummy was a bit scared though.

2026-05-10 Mother's Day at Duckstein and Sunset, Semi-Retirement Day, Grill'd, First Coaching Game, Mummy's Birthday - Pretty Woman, Simple Italian
































C: What a cool couple of weekends! For my birthday, we all went into the city to Simple Italian right on the river - very posh, and very nice setup! I then went to Pretty Woman with my friends, which was so much fun!

THEN, the following weekend for Mother's Day, we went to Duckstein in the Swan Valley, and had the most amazing pork belly bites and ONE German sausage that fed us all! It was so nice, and the weather was amazing. We all then went to watch the sunset with Bau at Burns Beach. Paish tripped over a rock, and her phone ended up underneath it! That was very strange and funny.

Thanks guys for such a lovely time!

Rox: Happy Birthday Mummy! It was such a fun day out, hope you enjoyed it - I did!

Me and Daddy went for lunch - we tried a few places such as TGI Fridays which was way too expensive, and ended up a Grill'd where I was accompanied by a crow - scary stuff.

I had my first coaching game with Hamersley Top 15s team, and they smashed! They will likely move up to 18s I think.

Paish: So glad our plans were successful, apart from Dad giving away the sunset so he could bring Bau, but I'm glad Bau came along - it was so nice. The Italian was so beautiful on the river too!

Happy Birthday my Mummy!

S: Happy birthday mommy! Duckstein was yum!! I enjoyed!

On Friday I tried out semi-retirement - dog walk, herbs, music, video editing, exercise. It was so fun! I think I could easily do this!

We also went to a Vietnamese in Girraween with Paish and Mummy - it was very nice.
