The Lords Taverners are very much looking forward to the 2018 tournament. This year we are playing in the memory of Graeme Monaghan. "Monners" as he was know by all of his friends. He was a passionate, former player and supporter of the Tavs at the Chiang Mai 6's tournament. Monners could be seen year after year sitting in our marquis spinning a yarn with his best mate Wanny. RIP Monners, you will be missed my friend......

Anthony "Fuzzy" Barranca
Built like a brick shithouse. Bats a bit. Walks around the place generally just scaring the crap out of people – which makes him a pretty handy bloke to have on the field. Your best bet is to get a hotel room on a different floor – and no, I don’t want to talk about it.

Brendon "Crowds" Crowder
His incessant banter about getting back to CM has us all a little concerned. We go FOR THE CRICKET Crowd’s. If you do bump into Crowds during the week, go easy on him. His two teams North Melbourne & Perth Demons are going to struggle this year. He is however a great bloke and popular team mate. Welcome back Crowds

Glen "Scratcher" O'Brien
Despite his best efforts Glen’s body has held together for another year and he front’s up for what is believed his 73rd Changers tour. Much like the character Jonathon E. in James Caan’s ‘75 classic “Rollerball”, Scratcher leads this team with a silent, mercurial impetuosity – quite the party trick really. The consummate team player (except when it comes to fluffy pink toys), he is the mucilage that holds the team together.

John "Lango" Langham
This force of nature returns for a second year with the Tav’s. Always controversial, Lango has this year broken a sacrosanct tenet of Taverner’s touring parties and brought along his family – a scandal in the making for sure. Pretty good on the tooth, quick with a barb, approach with vigilant caution.

Justin "Maysie" May
Joooostin lives with his many women in a place far far away, some say happily. His calm, suave oftentimes nonchalant mien made quite the impact on his last trip to the land of smiles. If you want in, I’ll be running a book on what happens when he fronts Immigration at Don Muang. Cracking bloke to have on tour, great to have you back Iam.

Kip "Kippy Marcar
Looks like he’s twelve but has about that many kids – I think he trusted Baz Luhrman on the sunscreen. Two speeds this fellow, flat out and stop; makes him a ripper bloke to have on tour both on both side of the rope. Except at fine sessions, oh my god, what a nightmare.

Lee "Carry" Carr
Remember when your old footy coach told you to watch out for the rovers and the little guys? Well this bloke ain’t no Schwarzenegger and fields at Silly Short Leg no matter what the skipper says – so one to watch out for, both on and off the field. I met him once, you couldn’t find a nicer, funnier more generous guy – I was worried immediately.
