If you want it enough lads, you’ll do it
I needed to for my kids.
I’m 170cm.
And was 121.5kg in August 2018.
Enough was enough. Did it the hard way, gym, diet, dads, group.
By June 2019 was down to where I needed to be - 71.3 kilos.
Now sitting around 74 and building muscle. Best Shape I’ve ever been in, however more goals than ever.
My biggest regret?
Not doing it ten years ago. Im currently 38.
He.
Signed.
A.
Contract.
That’s all there is to it. He can negotiate his terms at the end of the contract just like the rest of us hard-working folk.
Unless we get an absolutely brilliant deal stick his ass in Canterbury cup for the next 2 years.
As Gorden Tallis alluded to it taught him a valuable lesson and this precious piece of work needs to be taught one on the value of a contract.
As I’ve said before and I will say again it’s not the tiger’s problem that he couldn’t negotiate a better deal at the start. It’s his.
If we’re also able to medically retire Ben Mautilino, we can top up Chris Lawrence, and BUY another Ryan Matterson.
I don’t mean to sound so clinical about it but hey it’s true.
People forget the Tedesco family have money - and it’s not just leeching off James. They were always well off, and sent all their lads to Private school, and did it easily.
This is actually BRILLIANT. He doesn’t care who he steps on, and James TBH wouldnt care either as even if the Roosters put pressure on him to get his dad to STFU, he doesn’t actually need the money (Even though he’s on stupid coin)
When you mess with people who dont give a crap about where there next paycheck comes from, you can start to see some action.
Good on someone for finally having the balls (lol, and admittedly the deep pockets) to say something.
Thanks for the love lads. At the risk of jumping out on anonymity of the forum I just wanted those of you considering making changes, who are just on the fence to go and do it - and to put a real face on it.
It’s easy to hear the stories, it’s far more powerful to see one.
Like any player of his calibre get him motivated and he’ll be a god send
I’m happy it’s over more than anything TBH.
I just hope it was either at the right price, or if i was more than what was initially reported - it hopefully confirms we’ve freed up some cap dollars with Matto, and possibly Mautilino now being off the books.
I was a staunch defender of Taylor, but his operative to RIchards to CEASE doing these style contested kickoffs because it potentially gave up 10 or 20 metres on the kickoff was the most BRAIN DEAD coaching decision I think I’ve ever seen. Creating even a 20% chance of retaining the ball over the course of a game might result in possession being retained possibly twice a game?
To be honest, Patty’s kicks created a 50/50 chance most times they were executed properly.
Well, maybe not the most brain dead - although it’s up there with Kyle Lovett in the centres…
Get him Fit,
Get him Motivated,
and most importantly - hungry.
Packer ironically lost his mongrel edge the more edu-ma-cated he became, and that to me was part of his appeal.
I don’t mind having a gentle, well educated, quietly spoken giant around the club - just as long as he brings the aggression and mongrel on the field.
Packer should look at the way JWH is on AND off the field as a model for his behaviours.
I like how trim Jennings looks - jesus if he stays like that he might prove plenty of naysayers wrong.
Thompson looks jacked.
Leilua the only one who looks a tad soft… but I’m sure Madge will work on that - christ something must be working if Jennings, Packer and Thomson all look that jacked!!
Russell Packer to find some Evergreen form - ala JWH.
Would be niceto see a forgotten stalwart such as Eisenhuth, or Elijah Taylor find some real form - e.g would love to see Eisenhuth PUMP those lanky long legs, and show some real drive in his hitups.
For mind though if the rumours are true, Luciano Leilua finding the kind of rampaging form his brother does would be ideal.
Not sure on Liotas grounding to be honest
Samsung 4k 75" in the lounge-room.
Media room is always occupied by the kids on the 49" Kogan, so I jimmied up the 52" LG in the Garage that the missus heaven forbid wanted to give away to the PC, so I’m now running 2 x 22" LCD Monitors, and a 52" LCD as the third, that is exclusively used for Kayo pretty much.
Admittedly Im not brand specific these days - I usually buy the sweet spot for value/price at the time - there was a time where it all would have been exclusive SONY, or Samsung - but not so much anymore.
Even went back to the dreaded Iphone after many years as a Samsung user - but the iphone 12 pro max camera at the time was far too good to pass up.

That was Tigers4ever …wasn’t it …
He was one of them, yes.
Yeah I remember you mentioning it at one stage …brain does still work occasionally
That was years ago. A lot of our issues revolved around the old Wests vs Balmain chestnut.
Few blokes could go from 0-100 faster than any glamour sports car
Tigers4ever…Redemption …Stryker …
Golden?
Blows dust off account 
It’s all signed sealed and delivered, but he’s officially a Tiger from Monday.
Tigers should have said no to him playing today though - why is he playing anyway? It seems strange that they would “RUSH” an unwanted player back into the team… If he gets injured what happens?
It almost smells like a conspiracy waiting to happen.
Honestly speaking I think Simon Dwyer is a big part of the problem, along with the other assistants.
There I said it.
And just like that we are one win out of the top 8.
Now granted, it would take a 100 point win, but hey we are literally one win away from 8th spot,
Jimmy the jet cops a deserved spray from joffa. What was he doing?
Nofa getting schooled by reggies players.
