When watching Sturt IV on Saturdays, their formal Leader, Ralph Hounslow, towers over the rest of the team, metaphorically speaking, including physical giants like Stew Allen and David Beales.
The reasons are numerous including Ralph's extraordinary range of skip signals from the head. Plus his highly animated behaviour during the change of ends.
Look at the photos of the interactions between Ralph and all of his team - Richard Bolton, Robb Nuus and David Beales. In one photo Ralph literally manhandles Richard. Meanwhile Robb can't suppress his laughter and David regularly looks nonplussed.
And compare Ralph's hyper-activity with the photos of the other two skips, the serious Derrick Witt and the restrained Brian Dunstall.
Regardless of Ralph's photogenic moves and this wide variety of skip behaviours, Sturt IV is a powerful unit and it won its tight tussle with Walkerville, 50-46.
