He nearly got it one night from waterhouse wouldve paid to see that happen ahha. Anyways i tell the players not to sign for him.he is a joke to this hobby, this is absolutely ridiculous that someone is getting 30 cards signed by the same player all at once. he needs a good kick in the arse by the sounds of things
He has no shame at all.... He hit up Utai, Utai said (in his exact words) "You have got to be F'n Joking... F me F'n dead!!" His reply was "Na... These are old Bulldogs ones" Utai was absolutely SPEWIN!! But signed them for him anyway...
Seems like he's the type of guy, Who could be punched in the mouth and walk up and ask again next week...
He's relentlessly fixated on it.... He runs after the players and everything!!
It's crazy to behold..... I'm pretty sure he scabs a junior league pass from somewhere, You don't see him at the games they're not accepted. So he doesn't even buy a ticket to get in.
He's a Raiders fan..... And he's not a member of them either!!
Well known to the Clubs (Players and Staff alike)
Nothing more than a pest who should be banned from all games!!

Is that "Rat face" who bailed up Sterlo last year with 25 odd photos?
Problem is with guys like him that do sell on Ebay, You don't really want players to remember you and they make a spectacles of themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if he is connected to Coastsport24.
Alot of players know who I am but they also know that I do alot of trading with my swaps. If they ask, I tell them I swap on OCT and I make sure they know that its not neccessary to sign more than 1 of any card if they don't want to. Nearly all players are happy are to sign some extras for me because they know Im genuinely appreciative of their time and Im not abusing their generosity.The only players who are cautious of me are the same players that are rude and arrogant with any autograph collector. eg Watmough, Ferguson, Pritchard...

...and he was there last night after the Parra-Warriors clash asking players to sign a bundle of ~30 cards each. I had a couple of little digs at him which got his attention. I must say Krisnan Inu and Nathan Cayless were very gracious about the whole situation when I asked them about it. Inu said that he asked for 50 the day before aswell as the 30 last night. I must applaud Feleti Mateo who told him to clear off until everyone else had a chance to get some sigs
Here is an idea for all you guys in Sydney who are sick of him. This is for the braver of you guys.
Take a photo of him. Don't hide the fact that you have done it, let him know, and tell him his photo will be Emailed to every NRL club and every player manager so they know that he is an Ebay seller.
4 would be my number. Even at 4 I am reluctant these days. There are a few players you don't risk putting too much in front of. If I get to talk to the players or they remember me, I will ask if they can do a few extras so I have swaps to be able to trade. This year I will start fazing out my 2011 Champions cards and concerntrate on 2012 sets and Strike.

Usually 2 from different series if possible. Max of 4 for me although I got ~8 once from Terry Lamb as he asked if I had others for him to sign one night

I generally get 1 of each card I want signed but also take extras, picking the players knowing who wold and who would not sign more always helps. I know if Slate, smith or cronk are going to sign cards they will never sign any more than 1 of any card. Ferguson and B. Harrison are similar.
I only give 1-3 different cards to a player at a time & always ask in a polite manner is it ok for them to sign them for me. It is very annoying that some players do think all us adults are sellers & not collectors. I had a player start talking about eBay & I'll make more money if he signs it a certain way, he didn't seem to believe me that I was just a fan until my mate stepped (who isn't a collector & doesn't bother getting sigs) & said trust me mate he doesn't sell all he wouldn't shut up on the drive here about how he was hoping to get his card signed. Then the player smiled & nodded & realised I'm a fan & now when he see's me always has a chat to me
I'm also worried that some players will stop signing for anyone due to too many sig pigs out there
