you should see the west tigers fanatics out at campbelltown... people think Souths fans are toothless? These ****s are the worst. Mullets, moccasins, and longnecks.

 

pretty sure we have less than that

 

interesting question... Benji looks to be completely lost... he is overweight, lacks 80 minute energy, doesnt have the skills he did when he was early 20s and just isnt a playmaker anymore. I think move him to fullback and see what happens. Farah is mentally much tougher and I think he will stay and see out his contract - he is a stand up guy and i doubt any other team would offer him the salary we are giving him. My prediction is Farah stays, Benji goes to Penrith to play with Soward and we end up with someone like Nathan Brown as coach. Robbie loves the tigers and he can play how he wants with us. If he was to go to any other team it would be Parramatta or the Bulldogs, he supported them when he was little i think (what leb didnt haha) *no racist*

Our whole attack has been built around Benji, and when his form is down we play badly. I seriously havent seen him do anything amazing for almost a year. He needs to get fit, rejuvinate in a different position and leave the playmaking to the young guys. Mentally he is much weaker than I had imagined... i think by 30 he will retire to a cushy channel 9 job. Nothing left to prove which i think is why the hunger is gone. Won a world cup, won a premiership, captained his country, played in 3 or 4 finals series, scored a heap of points, been the best player in the world on more than one occasion and made plenty of coin in the process. What else would he stay around for?

Reading his articles in the paper its almost as if he has already checked out and is looking to be a family man and take things easy for a while. Been under massive pressure as one of the games superstars since he was 18. He could retire today as one of the best ever and I think he knows that

Also, dont underestimate the effect the team changes have had on him. Losing Beau Ryan and some of those other guys has played a huge impact on Benji and he is a very emotional guy. I think he yearns for the good old days and with them gone he doesnt feel the Tigers is his place any more. For me, he is a $500,000 player at most. Offering him the same as Farah is insane. Penrith should chuck $550k at him, pair him with Soward, and see if they can reinvigorate his career.

 

i have also travelled around italy, ****ing gorgeous place... i lived in Napoli for 2 months (backwards ass place!) and spent 2 weeks in florence and cinque terra... ****ing amazing

i have lots of amazing italian mates and most of my ex girlfriends are italian because i love the skin colour and dark features. They totally embrace the Aussie Wog stereotypes and good on them. If i call one of them a wog they dont get offended, they laugh and tell me to go and eat a meat pie. Great family people, loyal as **** and would do anything for you. This country would have been stuck in the 1950s if it wasnt for the hard working italians. The ****ers can be called anything but lazy.

 

I have been to Bracciano.... went sailing on that big volcanic lake and checked out that huge castle... there was a wedding at the castle when we were there... bet it costs a bomb

 

i think he got talked out of going to rugby by his wife and team mates etc but now who knows

 

Having said what I said, young Italian males are the absolute bane of the European summer, it doesn't matter where you go, you find big groups of the touchy feely ****s..., well, being touchy feely with anything in a skirt, I don't know how many fights I saw in Greek Island nightclubs due to lecherous Italians who couldn't handle their ****, plus they're thieving, knife carrying ****s

A lot of Aussies & kiwis in the island if IOS in summer, we worked out that a crew of Italians were rolling blokes taking the short cut down to the beach from town every night, they were waiting for lone **** heads & mugging them

Lets just say they got a surprise one night, there were a few big Maoris involved & they employed the sidestep to great effect

 

absolutely ****ing agree

i went to a few nightclubs in florence with my ex chantelle (who was born there) and every 5 minutes i was having to shoo away some greasy ****... they would walk up behind her, hands on her waist and start rubbing themselves. And when you ark up they act shocked, like its the done thing :-(

mate some of the stuff i saw italian blokes do in italy was borderline ****... funnily enough it doesnt happen as much in Napoli... more in Rome, FLorence and Milan.

When travelling Europe during summer I found the russians to be the worst. Fat, stinking pigs of people with no manners, act like they own the beach and will stab any **** that looks at them sideways. ****s of people the Ruskis

 

:rofl ****s sake IB.
