Live Action — Laurie Daley; Michael Panckridge

Sam's favourite rugby league team isn't making the grade, and he means to figure out why
Sam Davies discovers that the house next door to his aunt's is being used to store action figures from all his favourite premier rugby league teams. And it looks like Sam's enemy, Vipers player Vinny taranto, might be involved. Desperate to rescue the struggling premier league club he has bought, Vinny's father is using microchips inserted in the action figures to control the players themselves, via the logos on their new jumpers. After Sam experiences a series of uncharacteristic blunders while training, discovery of a Sam-like figure prompts him and his friends to take a closer look at Mr taranto's operation. In an explosive showdown, Sam rescues Vinny from the booby-trapped house and discovers that Vinny is Mr taranto's stepson, not his son. And that's not the only surprise in store for Vinny ...
