“ The defibrillator will give peace of mind to those socialising at the club and the huge number of footballers of all ages playing for the Wolves .”
LOCAL LIFE

Hearty news for Windsor Wolves by Greg Martin

So , Peter V ’ Landys , the head honcho at the National Rugby League , intends purchasing a jet plane to ferry footballers around the country .
That came to mind when Dean Jones , the Rugby League Administrator at Windsor Wolves , proudly informed me that Windsor Toyota ’ s manager , Rhys Field , had presented the club with a defibrillator .
I immediately quipped to Dean – “ crikey , instead of buying a ‘ plane , V ’ Landys should purchase defibrillators for every junior rugby league club in
the country ”. Anyway , let ’ s give praise to Toyota Australia and in particular , Windsor Toyota and Rhys Field and his staff .
“ Head office asked dealerships all around the country to , well , do something for their local community and we came up with the idea of providing a vital defibrillator to Windsor Wolves Leagues Club ,” Rhys explained .
“ The defibrillator will give peace of mind to those socialising at the club and the huge number of footballers of all ages playing for the Wolves .”
Rhys has a strong link to the Wolves – his young sons , Riley , 13 , and six-year-old
Isaac , proudly wear green and yellow jerseys , and Rhys has been involved as trainer and manager since Riley joined the club in the Under 6s .
His wife , Kylie , refused to become a rugby league “ widow ” and attends all her sons ’ matches .
Windsor Leagues secretarymanager , Michael Pullin , has already completed a training course on the defibrillator , and over ensuing weeks , other members of the staff will also complete the free course .
The St John Ambulance defibrillator with CPR ( cardiopulmonary resuscitation ) analyses patient ’ s heart rhythm in seconds and delivers a customised shock for each patient .
Coupled with military tested ruggedness and an IP55 against dust and water and the most comprehensive self-testing of any
Ready to shock and roll ! Windsor Toyota manager , Rhys Field ( r ), had great delight in presenting a St John ’ s Ambulance defibrillator to Windsor Wolves ’ Dean Jones ( l ) and Michael Pullin .

“ The defibrillator will give peace of mind to those socialising at the club and the huge number of footballers of all ages playing for the Wolves .”

AED , the St John Ambulance G5 defibrillator is ready to rescue .
Onya , Toyota Windsor !
