Simon Madden would be second to Farmer as the best ever, Cox nowhere near Madden.

Yep for sure, but when is the "modern era" & who decides when it started?

Informatively the modern era is defined as being from the last quarter of the 20th century.
Comparing ruckmen is opinion based. Different times.
One of the best is all the accuracy one will ever get.

Therefore in my opinion, in the prime of both, Coxy would have towelled up Farmer! Every day of the week :-)

Cox and Farmer stats are similar, Polly more handballs, the difference in my opinion was that Polly set the standard and changed the game for the others to follow. He was the best.

I'm sure Polly had his mentors and just like Coxy he was better than them.
