To balance the right wing bias of the moderators in this forum, might it be an idea to have someone who represents the left interests? I think we know which posters would be eligible...

I played left wing exclusively for at least the last four years of my career. Does that count?

Only four years on the left marks you out as a johnny-come-lately hipster socialite, you'd need decades more dedication to the cause , and to have suffered decades more oppression such a blues player would recoil in horror.

I played there during my early years, and also during a season of league in Aussie, but then I got older, heavier, slower and meaner and moved into the back row :twisted:

Narrows eyes...

Who moves out to the wastes of the wing in the latter part of their playing career?... Are Benjamin Button? With shit hands?

In an unrelated dig at how you cats murder the English language, do you think anyone has ever named a bull in New Zealand Bill?

Sounds more like the front row.

Not that slow. It was mostly muscle, actually. I got tired of having sand kicked in my face and joined a gym in my early 20s. By my late 20s I was weighing in at over 90kg though only 1.8m tall. The fat came later, well after my playing days ...

No. It messes my hair up and you get dirty shorts, sometimes.

Oh, I'd played either wing for about 10 years before choosing left as my specialty.

Ah, yes. I still remember, misty-eyed, the day that Coach clapped me on the shoulder and said in his deep Yorkshire accent, "Just because Ah'm picking you for t' First XV this weekend don't mean Ah think you aren't shit. You're just less shit than t'other wingers available."

That is the generally accepted Yorkshire version of: 'You get a medal too, Johnny'.

Indeed. The censorship by the right wing bully boys here is out of control.

Drunk with power it seems.
