OWRFC's token Northener, Phil is the product of a tough Northern town.

He won widespread acclaim for his Samoan sidestep in his playing days as well as his "One Punch" technique in the rucks and mauls. Painted from head to foot, Phil once applied to Stars in Their Eyes to be Barry Gibb but fate dealt him a cruel blow when he ended up down South instead.

Born to entertain, this much respected social member and Codger Liaison Officer has finally made it to the stage through stand up comedy where he runs the meat raffles in the interval.

Little Known Facts: The effectiveness of his patented sprinkler system is clearly evident whenever Phil wears caterpillar boots. He can order a Chicken Chow Mein with Egg Fried Rice when incoherent, although he's also partial to Prawn Balls. He has been known to "do a Houdini" supposedly from the toilets - usually around 7.45 / 8.00pm. Phil is now the proud owner of 'Saddam Hussein's Hammer'.
