"I used to work in pretty good restaurants in sydney but I was doing big hours, like 80 hours a week and not really getting to see my family so we wanted to get out of Sydney and moved up here.

Now the Rangers host Caloundra as table leaders in the last fixture round, knowing that a win should provide the former and momentum for the latter.
