Who is Bronx Goodwin? Never heard of him. Is he part of the epic bender crew or something?

Thurston, Inglis and slater in mooloolaba.
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Deep in homesickness territory

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Shame, would have been good to catch up with a ghouser, the oppurtunity doesn't come up very often in this place. I'm taking my wife tomorrow night, but geez it's hot. It was above 40 today.

Mark Bosnich on the phone in a Gym in Sydney CBD.

I was walking back to work after coming from a meeting. I looked up from my phone and saw him. I did a double take and he saw me. I did this stupid nervy thumbs up, then power walked past the door as quickly as possible.

I realised as I got back to the office that not only did I have my phone in hand for a photo, but I had my work notepad and pen for an autograph. Opportunity lost.

Mrs Fui just told me I missed my chance to tell him how **** he is in Bill and Boz

Yep. I would have him back. He went from discard to starting in a Grand Final. That takes the kind of resilience and commitment we are sorely missing in our forward pack at the moment.

Fensom is a fine player, he can do a very specific job and do it at a relatively high level. That being defend well, tackle anything that moves and take a ton of dirty hit ups early in the set and carve your team out 80 tough yards
There is value in that. It's limited value because the role is pretty specific and he gives you no useful 2nd phase, has no line break ability and doesnt really lay the wood as an enforcer in defence. So there is only so much you should pay for a good workhorse middle.

The issue with him was not him, it was what we were paying him. It's worth 200-300k for that. It's not worth the 500k we were paying him
At the right price, you'd absolutely have Shaun Fensom in your squad.
