Andy Farrell should get it again. His departure to union has made the poms a much better outfit.

Minichiello is certainly in the top 3. It's laughable to think people rated Hodgson ahead of him. He's also a fine player but not in the same league as Minichiello.

The only gay strip club I know is the Eastern Suburbs Leagues Club!!!

Golden Boots award? Jamie Lyon?
Fat Jamie isnt even near the top centres in th3 world let alone the best player. How funny is it gong to be watching Eels fans curse him when he wears the Maroon and white of Manly? LOL.

Which was in response to you creaming yourself over Minichello when Hodgson was even mentioned as having a good year.

Why did Hodgson win Dally M fullback of the year in he aint' fit to lace Minichello's boot laces. Fair dinkum, YOU start a piece of sh*t thread like this and call people wankers for taking your bait. You can't claim Minichello is better due to his performance in rep games when Hodgson never got the chance to represent. If you are going to do comparison, compare over the full season and you'll see Hodgson is at the least, fit to do up Minichello's "golden boot-laces".

But objectivity has never been your strongpoint has it. Go suck on cogburns balls for all I care.

Balmain bug,

Comparing the Ragdoll to the moth is a complete joke. Ragdoll's moment of truth came when he was stranded on his little lonesome in Origin and got dragged into the fence. Anyone can look great off MArshall and Prince line break assists...which is all Ragdoll did...run off the halves. He cant break tackles, he is a weaker defender statistically, but he is a better goalkicker. Unfortunately goalkicking doesnt make him better than anyone.

The Ragdoll is a decent fullback, he always was, but to compare him the the Moth is ridiculous. The Moth is easily the superior player.

If the Golden boot award counts, so does the dally M fullback of the year award and we all know who won that.

Anyway to be quite honest I don't care where people rate Hodgson. Minichello is an extroadinarily one dimensional fullback. He does what he brilliantly. Maybe that makes him better than Hodgson. BUT, Hodgson is versatile and fits into our team perfectly. To suggest Marshall and Prince make Hodgson look good is laughable. Hodgson makes the Tigers look good and every Tigers' fan knows that. I've had this argument with you before, so i'm over it. You reall should give Hodgson more credit though. To claim the only reason he is any good is Prince and Hodgson shows an extroadinary lack of knowlege of the game and the matches played this and last year. For your sake I hope it's either to stir up Tigers' fans, or it's hyperbole to prove your point.

Yeh good call, given Hodgson won dally M fullback this year. Where was Wesser?

Idiot.

WOW !!

You must be so impressed. I bet you jerk off over that every night dont you ?

p.s. i bet you were going to use Minichiello in that "Where was Wesser bit" ... but you thought better of it when you realised how self-interested you really are by leaving out "Where was Minichiello ?". He proved his worth, and you know it.

Im not suggesting MArshall and Prince make Hodgson look good, the Stats are. Over 60% of Ragdoll's "line breaks" were set up by MArshall and Prince's line break assists.

Proof?

Try and find some, because I know for a fact that ain't true.

NRL.com. Look up the stats. Prince and Marshalls line break assists is what made Hodgson's line break count high. He makes less unassisted line breaks than the Golden Moth - who incidentally is up for the best player in the world award. :)

Hodgo is a champ.......wouldnt swap him for anyone,including Minicello.

Rooster fans seem very protective of the count,who has played very well this year,especially in the rep games.

But week in and week out,Hodgo was the best FB in the comp and thats why he won the Dally M's.

Both are very fine players.

PS.....Hodgo can pass the ball.
