    Haha, not a fan of league. I used to work in Bondi, so had the Roosters always come in throughout the week. Most of them were ****nuts. Ryan Cross was the biggest fanny of them all. After the Daly M awards one year, I rocked up to work at 5am to open the pub and get the beers all sorted, and Andrew Johns was passed out in front of the pub ****ed on coke/pills. Let him in, threw him on the couch and gave him some water. Couple months later the drug scandal about him came about. Same with Willy Mason in the Cross. All dumb as ****, dog shagging, piss drinking delinquents imo!

    Most of the Pom's are up in Kinross/Mindarie/Sorrento. They all bitch and moan about the UK and wanting to get away from it all, then move to where all the other whinging poms moved to! Cannae understand it myself haha. I'm in Canning Vale, bought there a few years ago. Not a bad spot. Full of Asian's and Indians. Can always get a taxi from mine though :D

    Fair crack of the whip mate, although their is plenty of good players/people involved in the NRL. All the players you mention are cockroaches <laugh> Makes sense <ok> Do you hate the game because of their actions?

    Nigel Vagana was always a good bloke, as was Fitzgibbon from the Roosters. Walked back to Bondi from Randwick with him after a Melbourne cup sesh at Royal Randwick racecourse. Since I moved to WA there isn't alot of league here, mostly AFL and Soccer. Lost interest in the League, but i still remember when I moved down to Sydney from Scotland, first NRL match was the Roosters grand final win in 2002. Great night that, still remember it even though I was ****faced! Soccer (football) takes up alot of my time, although if there is a league match on, I will watch it. Got a few league supporting mates here, so i am into it more now than the last few years. After meeting alot of the players, can say they are mostly twats. There are some good ones though, but mostly twats. And as always, Come on NSW, crush those bloody Cane Toads!

    Vagana! Great player mate and a gentlemen! I feel for you mate, being involved with the Roosters would've been a **** experience <ok> I'll disagree with you because I work with a lot of the players mate and in the community. Overall their a good bunch <ok> Oh yeah, who won the origin this year mate? :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Tbf, I meet alot of them at the pub I worked. So they were pissed and high most of the time! :emoticon-0175-drunk Vagana was a true gent, Fitzgibbon, Fittler aswell. Cross, Minichello, Mason and Gasnier were twats, acted like they owned the joint, told kids to **** off who wanted an autograph and pretended not to be who the kids knew who they were. Also, Craig Wing has herpes according to a few of the lasses haha! No doubt there are some good ones out there, what you do you prob meet them in a sober, much more amicable state of mind than when I did throwing them out after a few to many! Chooks are a good club, they did alot for the local Bondi United team, and the special needs school down the road from work. Had a few charity auctions for there to buy special needs equipment and that, held at the pub, and they came out and shone. So i take my hat off to them there :)

    Urgh, I left NSW in 2006, and they hadn't won a series ever since! Until last year... always had fun winding up my NSW mates with that one, they were willing to fly me over to the state when it was on so they could win! haha, should have done it, had i not been needing to work :(

    Mainly go for the banter in the shed. Quality isn't that great, but good to go and have some fun. I'm away alot during the home games, so need to lime up for a home game and I'm at home. Try to go alot more this year though, after last season, hopefully it's better!

    Just been out there for 16 days. Drove from Vegas to San Francisco via Sequoia national and Yosemite national parks and Monterey. Open top car and some of the best drives of my life. If I got rich I would live in California in a heartbeat. Somewhere along the coast to probably slightly north of LA.

    Same mate, if I won the Euro's tonight I'd be there within a fortnight. I've not been Yosemite we've planned that for next year, starting in San Fran and up to Napa, then over to Yosemite.

    We considered the Winnebago option but decided probs not, cheap way to do it but a group of lads in a Winnebago there would be problems, haha.

    Ha no i wouldn't do that either, plus if you stay outside the parks on the nights you can find large hotel rooms for buttons and its not really that much different price wise if you add it all up. Tell you what ill go half on any win we have tonight, at least that way i can live next to a mackem in California :)

    Doesn't matter who you use to be honest mate, and the bigger chains actually are usually the cheapest.

    We got a Mustang from Alamo at LAX and it was only £240 for a week, try www.kayak.co.uk, class site for stuff in the US.
