Also note half are anglo names, a couple of possible polynesian ones, an Italian, a Greek as well and that probably is typical for an immigrant nation like ours.

Nah no story. Terrell has been there a few years and Norm has been coaching juniors. Norm doesn't play at Wanneroo and haven't seen him playing for Kala this year or last, probably just retired.

Norm played 3rd Grade for Kala on Saturday against University.

Yes his boy plays for Wanneroo.
Norm has played a few games for Kala this year including both 3rd grade finals. He has also been helping coach Kala Prems backline part time. Was there more late in the year when Kala Prems started coming good.
