Just a bit too far north, look for the Darwin Eagles.
Actually it looks like PNG is not far north enough. See below for a sneak preview of tomorrow's DT.
SANTA SET TO GET CLAUS ON SEA EAGLES
In a move set to rock the NRL and the Manly Sea Eagles, eccentric billionaire Santa Claus has put an offer to the Manly Board to buy the Northern Beaches club and relocate it to the North Pole. The offer has been described by a source close to the club as "too good to refuse". Firm details of the offer are sketchy, but it is believed to include a lifetime supply of candy.
Mr Claus' private company Clauscorp has enjoyed bumper profits this Christmas season. After successfully negotiating a favourable outcome on wages with the Elf Union, Clauscorp has also had the benefit of children's expectations about their Christmas presents being at record lows as a result of the perilous state of the global economy.
Mr Clause's aquisition of the Sea Eagles is sure to be seen by some as a desperate attempt to save his marriage to his long suffering wife Mrs Clause, a noted Manly supporter and number 1 fan of George Rose. Following the infamous photos of Mr Claus and the Tooth Fairy coming out of a broom closet at Star City Casino in 2007, Claus has recently been photographed in compromising positions with multiple elves. He has publicly stated that he is committed to repairing his marriage, but sources close to Claus believe that he must first address his eggnog problem and move back to milk and cookies.
