Sami Lukis and Steve Renouf – Galaga Challenge

Good sports at the start

Good sports at the outset

It was a big day out at Triple M when radio babe Sami Lukis went head to head with former Bronco Steve Renouf at the Arcade Table.  Renouf even brought his trademark headgear along for extra intimidation factor … and it worked!  After fiercely battling it out round after round, the battle of the sexes and the war for Galaga supremacy was nailed by “the man”.

Inappropriate Galaga attire

At one stage, it looked like Sami would triumph but inappropriate attire looks to have been the cause behind the unfortunate loss.   Evidently, stiletto heels do not a winner make!  At least, not at the Arcade Table.

Triple M listeners delighted in the Galaga Challenge, played out live on morning radio.  What more could you want with your Rice Bubbles than a bit of blurp, bleep and siren as two of your favourite celebs fight to retain the glory they remembered from their own mis-spent youth?

Renouf's success wasn't ALL in his head!

Ladies, let this be a lesson.  If you really want to beat the fellas at Galaga, slip on a pair of joggers and use the traction to your advantage.  Sure, there are no pedals on the Arcade Table but when the going gets tough, you’ll need whatever will help!

Anyway, practice makes perfect so put in the hours and go for gold!!
