antonius, i know you have a totally biased approach to the BIHK and DMC fights, possibly due to prior occurences, but if you lame any of this upon BIHK i will have lost all faith in your moderating

Firstly Keeney you don't know anything about me, secondly I'm not blaming anyone for anything in the thread, you are pre-empting something there are you? DMC, and BHIK have a history of this when it gets out of hand the threads are either split or sent to the fight club, from what I see in this thread (and I considered it yesterday) it borders on being split into a seperate thread and let them go for it. If it gets entirely out hand it can go to the Fight club. At the moment though I'm inclined to leave it as is, read back through Keeney they're both as bad as each other. Now Keeney does that make you happy. Have I explained myself well enough to your satisfaction? If not there are other avenues of complaint and I've pointed them out to others before, if your not clear about them you can read the guidlines for moderators and members. By the way I don't really get headaches wondering about what you think of the way I moderate.

Message for DMC, and Bring It. We've been over all this a million times, how about we all lay it to rest eh?

ive been observing it for awhile, and while i dont wish to take sides i've just noticed you always ( out f the ten or so examples ive seen) taken DMC's side. Sure Bihk is a tad antagonistic alot of the time, but in a lot of cases theyre equally to blame, and in the case I feel DMC is to blame, im not fussed about what you feel about my opinion, im just syaing moderators are meant to be impartial...

Back on topic:

Rudder and Kidley both have awful kicking games. Argue about it all you want, neither of them is a realistic choice for first string kicker. They can do one or two good kicks a match, but the likes of Johns are the ones who'll be doing our general play kicking. Even Ennis and Bedsy are a tad more reliable.

Rudder, for all his defensive inadequacies (I don't think anyone can question Kidley's defensive intensity) was a good runner of the ball- he just couldn't be trusted to pass it with any level of effectiveness. Move him into the back row, or even lock, and let him ruck it out with the big boys. He's not small, and with some work, he could improve his defence and get rid of his 'shirt grabber' reputation.

DMC and BIHK. I've been an active member of this forum for about six months, and a passive one for about another twelve ahead of that. You've been fighting forever. What went wrong? Relationship go sour?

I thought Ennis was doing a more than adequate job of deputising in the #6. Or are you saying we need one for 2005? Which wouldn't make sense either, since Kidley will probably be back there with Joey in the #7...

LOL, you have taken sides, just as you say I have, Both DMC, and BIHK have been warned by the admin of this site about exacly what was going on in this thread. I suggest Keeny you dig up the threads that these two have gone at each other in and I think you'll find they are both as bad as each other. Again if your not happy with my moderating you can complain to the owners of the site.

By the way keeney I happen to think Rudder wasn't that bad a player for us over the period of time he played for us, so maybe that's why I tend to agree with DMC on the subject.

Rudder was a good player but played the wrong position. I hope we sign him and he plays in the backrow or something. He has to better than Lowrie, Price and Co.

We'd get him for nothing and I think he may be handy for PL or as a backrower.

What about as a winger for Tahu.........................joking.

Well Rudder did start off on the wing in first grade. He goes alright at running the ball up at times as a forward. But his defence lets him down way to much for me ever to want him back here.

Getting rid of Rudder was the best thing that happened to the Knights! The only way he would get a run next year was if the Knights had another shocking run of injuries like this year. Even then, I think that they could find someone else to do the job without wasting money on him.

Well personally i think moderators should keep threads on topic and if any personal arguments break out the posts should be deleted or edited to remove any of the arguing and both parties regardless of who starts it should be warned about it and told to take it to the fight club.

Re: Rudder: I was a big critic of rudder when he was at the knights. But i will say now he should come back and be used in the lock or 2nd row. He used to have the ability to brake the line and if he bulked up he would make a very handy player. As long as he isnt used in ANY playmaking role.
