PILGRIMAGE: Secret Novocastrian’s spotted coming home for honour

Grand Final Week

PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF EASTERN AUSTRALIA: A little known Newy boy is back in town, exposing his roots as a man forged in the sand.

Old Micky is part of an exclusive club of secret Novocastrian’s who have risen to the annals of power and fame, on the good soil and water of the Hunter.

When asked whether he was, indeed, a Novocastrian, Mark responded shyly:

“I love the people of Western Australia.”

“But as the saying goes, you can take the boy out of Newy but not the Newy out of the boy.”

When asked whether he might see a second life in politics, including on the mayoral throne, after a large chuckle he exclaimed:

“Fuck nah that’s for Gav. Look he’s up there paragliding now. He’s the captain from here on out.” #newcastle #newcastleknights #newy
