Official Sharksforever Whipping Boy

[burgess1978]

Who is the whipping boy?

Vote can be changed at any time - so if you change you mind come back.

Once you are the whipping boy, it stands for 5 games (minimum). I'll re-check after each 5 rounds.

Assigning a new WB requires 1/3 of total votes, or 10+ votes with a lead of 2 or more. If not, the incumbent keeps the gig.

***

2022 Pre-season: Briton Nikora
2022 Games 1-5 (Raiders, Eels, Dragons, Knights, Tigers) : Braydon Trindall
*** Votes will be checked on 15 April ***

The question should be who will burgess defend to the death even though they are playing like dogsht

 

[stormshark]

I think it will be Nikora

 

[bort]

I think it will be Nikora

My vote was for right now although I am personally not whipping Blayke so I look forward to changing it to someone I am in the future.
Nikora I hope won't be the overall winner as that would mean he has stayed in the team...

Maybe we need to add to CMs 3-2-1 with an extra vote for who it was who singlehandedly lost us the game and tally that number for the season

 

[Sparkles]

Jesus, this is tough...

You're trying to bring logic to a sh&tfight mate

 

[Sparkles]

Okay, vote cast. But I'm pretty sure i'll change once we know the run on side, unless Moylan is in

 

[Addy]

Does the winner get the Ben Pomeroy Memorial Award?

 

[Thresher Shark]

It will be Noodles because unless he's scoring 80 metre tries he's hopeless

Yeh this is the real question that needs to be asked

 

[mr.sharkiee]

Mmm going from the season just past, I voted for Trindall. As much as Trindall has potential and shown he deserves a chance, the Chaddites will pretty much stick the sword in him at any chance.

 

[HaroldBishop]

There are 6 or 7 legitimate candidates on that list haha.

 

[Gards]

Moylan won't play enough to be a whipping boy and isn't paid enough anymore to be blamed for our cap

 

[Sparkles]

You'd get good odds on Nicho at the moment

Yep. Could have added Fitz also.

I agree. I don't think it would take too many losses before the "not a half" or "just looked good in Melbourne's system" comments start to get thrown around.

 

[CrazyMatt]

I hope it isnt Blayke. Im still convinced that we’ll see a much much much better player this year.

But if Nikora or Ramien start the year slow, im expecting their player threads to become very unpleasant places unfortunately. I just feel like those two are on the cusp of SF hate so to speak.

Can't even wrap my head around it yet tbh... I don't feel like I have any real idea how our 17 will run out in round 1

I'm guessing in a forward direction, directly from the sheds to the field. The club could have a surprise planned though for the return game: "Bay 4, seat 103, look under your chair... it's Matt Moylan!".

 

[Born&bred]

He'll probably still be my whipping boy.

haha at least you are honest
