Talking Footy

A COUPLE of Hawaiian and meatlovers' pizzas almost cost Arthur Taylor his life.
The 77-year-old took up a job as a Pizza Hut delivery driver to help make ends meet. On his last delivery of the night, he was viciously robbed by two promising young footballers.
Penrith Panther Jake Galvin and former West Tigers junior Isaac Hekenui were both convicted of assault when they appeared in Southport District Court this week.
Mr Taylor was ambushed by the former Keebra Park High School mates after taking four pizzas worth just over $50 to an address in Hollywell on the night of the third State of Origin last year.
"Next thing I knew I felt a horrendous bang - it was as if I'd hit a brick wall," he said.
"I woke up 15 minutes later feeling nauseous and realised my phone, my cash, my watch were all there, but the pizza box was gone."
A single punch to the face ripped apart his jaw muscles, which would force him to live on liquids for a month -- but worse was yet to come.
On the way to hospital he suffered a heart attack and could have died.
"It shook me rigid," he said.
"For $51.80 of pizza they could have killed me."
Galvin, 18, and Hekenui, 19, this week pleaded guilty to robbery in company with personal violence.
Galvin told police that on July 6, 2011, Hekenui complained of having no money for food and said he wanted "to find someone to rob".
The court was told the pair ambushed Mr Taylor in his car, with Hekenui punching him unconscious and Galvin grabbing the pizzas, which they ate at a friend's house while watching the game.
Hekenui also pleaded guilty in court to two separate violent robberies in 2011.
He admitted bashing a taxi driver in an Ashmore toilet block on July 2 last year, and also the random beating of a 16-year-old girl on July 29 at Varsity Lakes as she walked home from a party.
Hekenui was given three five-year sentences, which are to be served concurrently.
As he has already served 463 days in custody, he will be eligible for parole in April next year.

For just $50 worth of pizza? I mean I know nRL players have fatty diets so the pizza is understandable, but not paying $50? I thought the nRL clubs paid at least reasonable wages to their players? Sure, they would receive sweet F/A compared to AFL players, but still.

the poor skinny singlet wearing boffin who lost the feebleball goal kicking challenge

Hmmm a player with a physique like this?



Or a physique like this?



Which would you choose, Raiderdave?

Now I've done this before but its apt for us to now see and compare an AFL superstar in his prime



with nikki webster in her prime



For pure muscle we'd have to go with nikki. It also looks as though nikki would have dale coordination wise. Considering their poor performances, perhaps the rexona challenge should be considering switching AFL players with female pop singers?
