Good one Norman - I'll pay that. I thought of 'Greatest Ruler of North Korea' but I'm not politically motivated and this thread has been a lot of fun.

And as the party is just starting and the drinks are starting to flow, I will thank Red for supplying the drinks and the canapes. The Wild Turkey 101 is going down a treat. I knew these moderators were good for something .

Thanks mate. I was hoping to reach 10k by 7pm however a bridge too far

Thanks to everyone who contributed. It's been fun!

I went for an organic approach this year so it had to be the late Johnny Tobin. This was based on what I've read about the man. A deserved winner imo!

Perhaps next year I'll give the Delorean System a miss and we can all have an independent vote.

Cheers Batesy.

Congratulations to the late Johnny Tobin - a very worthy first immortal.

And nice work too from you Bates - over 150 posts within 5 days speaks volumes of how popular this post was. And as many have said, a nice trip down memory lane.

He was a titan. Never met him but always respected him. The Wall/Pen's Artie Beetson.

How goods an offseason circle jerk.

Even better was some actual footy today… Roosters first trial is Valentine’s Day, seems fitting for this thread.

Bring on the footy. Will there be a match day thread next Saturday? I’d welcome it. Can’t wait for the banter.

Respect the traditions, son.

This forum has been going strong in one form or another for over 20 years thanks to the likes of Tobin.

Happy for my old mate Tobin. Was a wonderful Roosters man, a great bloke and a good friend.

Thanks for another fun thread Batsey.

On a side note, why hasn’t that serial pest David Sutherland aka sally been banned? “It’s” clearly the same person and he was permanently banned by mods…told to stay away but still persists by starting new accounts. The same fool who wanted to sue chookpen members…..surely admin would have some grounds to do the same now??

[mightyrooster]

Great result. Johnny Tobin was as passionate a Roosters fan as you could get. He wore his heart on his sleeve with his posts and I loved his anti Souffs rants. He also had some good insider goss. A very worthy choice.

There was a Bee's Dick in it, mate.

Hopefully Red can add an Immortals Tab to the Menu Bar.
