Mick Raynes

President / Spiritual Leader of @SteamersRugby. Former wild animal, but now a domesticated pet. As a ‘parody’ account, I am not accountable for anything I say.

With Aggies coach Tom Lamond joining forces with Big Nick at Tahs, the thing most in danger at the Grand Final rematch next year will be the pie warmer. Expect Bubba from @WaggaCityRugby and the walruses from Tahs to go toe to toe on Ganmain Pies from gates open until dusk.

Possibly the greatest pivot since Eddie Jones moved to the Brave Blossoms. I’ve now launched our new PodCast. Expect truth bombs and wild insight’s. https://t.co/BHy6fm8XsU

How the mighty have fallen. Ever since he left my warm embrace, Liam Krautz has wandered further from the path I chose for him. This year he’s losing all self respect at Wagga Waratahs. My van and a saucy kebab is ready for him when he sees the light again.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! Which equals my record number of kebabs in one sitting…#MyTwitterAnniversary

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

As a vaccinated anti-vaxxer (my wife made me get it), I salute the patriots at @WaggaCityRugby for flaunting their freedom and standing up to the fascists by not wearing the ‘mandatory’ face masks at a social event.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

@SteamersRugby season starts off with a bang. Two from two.
WE WILL NOT LOSE IN 2021!

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

The opposite of loving a rugby team is hating one. @SteamersRugby are playing @WACRugby tomorrow at Murrayfield. My @CsuReddies blood is boiling at the prospect.

Prediction 1: @SteamersRugby by 36.

Prediction 2: I’ll be drunk by 10pm and gorging on a kebab by midnight.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

With a celebrated playing career at @CsuReddies & successful coaching /Presidential stints at @SteamersRugby I’m often asked where my heart really lies.
If it can only be one, it’s NamtrakTrain, my fantasy rugby team. I love each and everyone of my rapidly changing 23-man squad.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

The match of the round is in fact @CsuReddies vs @SteamersRugby.
I have been looking forward to this day for months. Here I am priming myself for what will no doubt be a day of classic rugby, victory dumps, low-carb beer, kebabs and a good sleep.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

SIRU’s chosen ‘Match of the Round’ that will be broadcast from their Facebook page is (surprise, surprise) Waratahs v Aggies 🤮🤮🤮.
The only 30 people wanting to watch it will be on the paddock at the time of broadcast. What a spectacular waste of bandwidth?

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

The takeover is complete. @SteamersRugby now have a Kiwi (born) President, 1st XV Coach and Captain.
Weather looks choice for tomorrow so pack your sammies, throw on your jandals & get over to Wagga for the clash with @CsuReddies. It should be sweet as Bro

I’d like to take full credit for our “Star Steamer” going back on his word, although I did feel a little guilty that he was betraying my beloved @CsuReddies, but I have to look after number one and two.
1. Me.
2. My Presidential legacy.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

The wait is almost over with a 1st round classic next Saturday.
@SteamersRugby vs @CsuReddies.
I’m rock hard for this one.
For me, this will be like watching the two greatest loves of my life jelly wrestling for 80 minutes, then joining me for beers.
Life doesn’t get any sweeter.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

I finally showed this photo to my psychic and asked her what she could see in their future.
“Michael, when I look at them I can hear an incoherent discussion and in their future I just see beer and balls. That’s all I see”.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

@SteamersRugby footy season is almost upon us. I can’t tell you how much I love watching rugby on a Saturday afternoon, drinking myself into a stupor on Saturday night and waking up on Sundays covered in Dorito dust, suffering from a massive hangover.
Can’t wait.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

@SteamersRugby @WaggaCityRugby @AdrianQuilty I might take this photo to my psychic next week.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

Today I showed my psychic this image of the Wagga Waratahs logo and asked her what she could see in their future.

She said, “Michael, I see shady deals, media manipulation, chambray shirts with turned up collars, but mostly I see dickheads, hypocrisy and disappointment”.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

Her words, not mine.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

@SteamersRugby My psychic. My psychiatrist is far too busy picking my brain to look at photos.

[Mick Raynes @PresMickR]

I showed this photo to my psychic during my weekly session and she said, “Michael, under that hat I see a premiership”
