He has a point, though. Just about any of the hookers we've had over the last decade would be leading the Dally Ms after 3 rounds, same as always.

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.

This morbidly obese pommy plodder stole a hooking spot from good hard working Aussies

And somehow became our best signing for decades.

Charlie would have moved on to the supporters forum for whichever NRL club Cronin's feeder club is associated with. Would that be the broncos forum?

Mod note , my note.

Stop changing my user name and I'll stop moderating your posts.

This is directed at Nickman and Pigman who are guilty of it. Its like a little tag team game you two have. You have no basis and when called on it the thread goes silent.

I'll ask you both nicely to stop.

I'll leave it at that.

Thanks in advance

Yep, time to call stumps gents.

My turn for the moderation for a while; and while I am substantially better looking than Matt, I'm notoriously less tolerant. Can we get back on topic or the thread will be closed.

Thanks

OK This thread will get cleaned up, RRA has asked nicely for this to stop, he's finding it offensive. Give it a rest. He deserves to be treated respectfully. Just as I call out name calling for everyone else.

Wow this is a random blast from the not so distant past. Almost everyone made some terrible calls in this thread too :P

Hodgson certainly showed us all up, no one predicted he could be a Dally M medal front runner in his 2nd season!

Of note on that, has an Englishmen won the Dally M before?

God there is some Hodgson love in the media. It's nice to look at something and say that we as a supporter group knew last year we had a special number 9, he is getting the recognition he deserves. Heard him called as currently the best hooker in the NRL.

I heard his grandmother was born in Narrabri, which makes him a blue.

There's got to be a loophole here somewhere.

Pretty selfish of me, but I'd be more than happy for Austin, Sezer, Wighton and Hodgson (although not eligible) to not be picked for origin.

**** derailing our season for that.
