Who will this seasons whipping boy be???

[Bondicigar]

Robbo..
especially now he's climbed Everest, the NRL ladder should be a breeze.

[Kelby]

Teddy

.................................................. ...



everyone will expect him to score 20 tries
win the SOO as captain
win the premiership

win the Clive Churchill medal


otherwise he should retire.

[Mickie Lane]

I’m thinking Sam Walker.

Well you"ve made a good start there. Lets make it a package deal with Kez. Although I don't know if your injury prediction will fly, he played 26 games last year more than any I think, back near his best.

Okay so I’ve predicted Sammy to be the whipping boy
Kez to get injured & Sam Walker will then move to 5/8
Anything else I’ve posted that you want to have a whinge about?

Not whinging so much, just found it strange your predictions for the season included our most durable player of 2023 getting injured. Sounded a touch negative, so felt like calling it out.

Go the Roosters.

Now that Hutch has moved on, who will we unload on IF things go Pear shaped?

I reckon it'll be the The Cheese or Robbo.

The Cheese is soft target. His output thus far hasn't justified his salary. He can be lazy and I haven't forgotten how unaffected he was after our round 20 loss to Melbourne.
Robbo - The buck stops with the coach! We have list of players that should finish in the top 4 and could potentially go all the way. Anything less and Robbos has failed Imo.

I reckon Radley will have a huge season. Better discipline is key for Vic!
JWH- I love the big dog however I'm still feeling a little disappointed after his send off vs the Tigers. The opposition will be looking to bait him. He needs to stay cool. We need him on the field!

This is just a little off season fun. Please don't get your panties in a knot BBR

I'd never want to bait JWH. Doing so risks having your face caved in.

I think we'll see much the same from him this year, but hopefully he behaves a bit better.

[King Salvo]

Hutch for sure.

Even though he doesn’t play for us anymore I will still blame him for every loss.

The Mercurial Hutchinator will be missed though without a doubt.

Only by you.

Has JWH ever actually been in a fight? Maybe while playing for the kiwis? I really can’t remember him being involved in one. Lots of niggles when he got frustrated , but I would have liked to see him in a proper biff.

If Teddy doesn’t play 110% in every game I reckon he’ll be the whipping boy around these parts.

My money is on Teddy too.

I think he is still a very good fullback and his average game is certainly better than most, but age is beginning to catch up.

His pace has dropped off severely, and I just don't think he is any longer capable of the big game breaking plays we are used to seeing from the past.

There is a loud minority of fans who will smash him from pillar to post as a result of this, who will be demanding his resignation and calling him 'useless', and of course as usual blaming Robbo.

I'm hoping to be proven wrong, but I don't think I will be.

Imagine the hysteria when Teddy has an average game and Manu is supposedly leaving.

I'm ready to be hysterical. The last time Teddy's output reflected his salary was 2019.

You could say I'm coqed.
