Ten in the Bin

By N. R. Walker

Heartbroken, Dean Cartwright leaves Sydney and heads home, to the coastal town of Newcastle. In a bid to make new friends, he signs up for a local rugby league team where he meets a man known as Macca.
Dean and Macca are both front row forwards, meaning they’re the biggest guys on the team. Over six feet tall and over a hundred kilos each, they’re a force to be reckoned with.

But when Dean gets knocked out, Macca gets even by punching the other guy, and both Dean and Macca end up on the sideline.
Dean soon realizes that being knocked unconscious is the best thing to ever happen to him.

Ten In

The

Bin

Isat on the bench seat in the dressing room, and oblivious to the noise around me, caught sight of myself in the mirror. My short black hair was a spiky mess, and my dark brown eyes seemed a little dull. I was pretty fit for a big guy and my protective gear, strapped tight to my chest and shoulders, flaunted the fact I’d had nothing but time to work out since I left Sydney .

I’d moved back to Newcastle six months ago. I’d grown up in the coastal town on the New South Wales mid-coast, went to school there, but moved to Sydney for uni and stayed there

for

work

.

Three years out of university, I found myself alone and heartbroken, so I applied for a transfer and came home. My mum was happy about it, even though she knew I wasn’t, and she suggested I play football again to meet some new friends. I hadn’t played rugby league in years, but I needed to get out there,

she’d

said

.

Which is why, on a wintery Saturday afternoon, I was pulling on a football jersey for Central Newcastle. It was only second division reserve grade, so it was more about having fun with the boys than it was about serious football. Don’t get me wrong. We played to win, but we had some

fun

too

.

Hey, Deano?

I looked up at the sound of my name being called to find Moose, the team captain smiling at me. At his side was Macca, a front-rower like me, and he grinned. You ready?

Sorry. I was a million miles away, I told them. I stood up, put my mouthguard in and gave them both a plastic smile. "Let’s

do

this

."

Macca laughed and gave me a friendly tap to the side of my face. Come on. Let’s go smash some heads.

I liked Macca. I didn’t even know what his real name was—like most of the team, we went by nicknames alone. But he was a big, friendly guy. He had unruly sandy-reddish hair, brown eyes and a killer lopsided smile.

And a dimple. He had a fucking dimple in his left cheek that just about did my head in every time I

saw

it

.

He was also the biggest guy on our team. Bigger than me, even. I was six feet tall and weighed in at one hundred kilos. I was, and always had been, a big guy, which is why I was in the front row. I was fairly fit: I certainly wasn’t the fastest, but I hit

pretty

hard

.

Macca was a good two inches taller, and maybe another ten kilos heavier than me.

The formatting on my e-reader was distracting. So many near-concussions!
