Chasing Rabbits Star Peter Hardy Drowns in the Year of the Water Rabbit?🐇

Peter Hardy (11 January 1957 – 16 March 2023)

Seems like a rather tragic irony that Peter Hardy would drown in 2023, the Year of the Water Rabbit when he was the lone actor in the 2001 short film 'Chasing Rabbits'.

What's Up with the Year of the Rabbit, Doc?💊🐇🌈🐰

UPDATE: 20th March, 2023

And today in the news is the passing South Sydney Rabbitohs great John Sattler.

Sattler famously led the South Sydney Rabbitohs to premiership glory in 1970, playing the majority of the contest with a broken jaw.

His rugby league career consisted of 197 games for the Souths between 1963 [the Year of the Water Rabbit] and 1972 which also included four games for Australia.

Russell Crowe is part owner of the Rabbitohs

The March 16th, 2023 edition of The Courier Mail newspaper

I was reading some old fish wrappers (Australian slang term newspapers) and saw the day Peter would  drown that Cody Simpson was pictured in the March 16th edition of The Courier Mail newspaper "making a slash for drowning awareness".

Ironically, Cody Simpson shares January 11th as a birthday with the late Peter Hardy.

You know what they say about the Simpsons?

"The Simpsons Did It"

Hmm?

‘Eerie’ minute of silence ‘true legend’
John Sattler given fitting farewell

"In Souths’ first match since the legend’s passing, ironically against Manly, who Sattler’s Rabbitohs had defeated in the 1970 decider, the rugby league world was finally able to give Sattler a deserved send off.

Souths coach Jason Demetriou revealed the side would wear a half-rabbit logo on its jersey, which Sattler made famous after his 1970 grand final logo was torn.

It was the same match in which Sattler played with a broken jaw he sustained in the opening minutes.

Demetriou also confirmed the players would form a guard of honour with Sattler’s family and that there would be a minute’s applause at the 13-minute mark."
