They’re much better known for their prowess in the sporting arena — their respective abilities to tackle, run, scrum or thwack a ball. But for one night only this week, some of Sydney’s burliest blokes gave vent to their gentler side at the premiere of Disney On Ice.
Rugby league’s finest, Matt Ballin, Matt Cooper, Krisnan Inu and Martin Taupau were among the dads who heeded Mickey’s call for the all-skating spectacular on Wednesday afternoon at Allphones Arena.
Newsreader Natarsha Belling and cricketer Doug Bollinger and fellow cricketer Nathen Bracken and wife Hayley were also dragged along by their respective kids, who made fast work of the lolly station and cupcakes at an after-show function.
Flying the flag from the supremely talented cast were Snow White and Dopey.
