[greeneyed]

I personally thought that the best article I read all year was, by a long way, from Azza... "The Common Bond" in the Grand Final match. It is made all the better as it is based on a true story, and personal experience.

[Azkatro]

Can I nominate my Wests Tigers article? It's in that F7's list twice!

 

[The Piper]

I like - Prince Charles (Pirates) Your Jersey Of Yesterday

 

[madunit]

Az, if we could nominate our own articles i'm sure everyone would nominate their own and the process of finding the best would be impossible.

I know I'd nominate a few of mine, but I doubt anyone else would. If you have a hundred odd people doing the same, poor old Willow would be here forever picking out the best few! :lol:

 

[Willow]

Nah, its allright, go for it.

Its already decided that it'll be more that 6 in the poll - same thing happened last year.

The way its supposed to work is that posts which gets the most nominations go into the poll. If there are still too many, we'll break it down some way or another.

 

[Azkatro]

Fair enough. I would like to put up for nomination the article "The man that sparked a rugby league renaissance" (http://forums.leagueunlimited.com/showpost.php?p=1678369&postcount=6) by myself, and Big Mick's "The debutant" (http://forums.leagueunlimited.com/showpost.php?p=1552433&postcount=15). Two fantastic Panthers articles from 2005, if you ask me.
