2024 TSF Team of the Year
-
It’s back and it’s bad!
No, seriously it is bad.
It’s the annual thesilverfern.com Team of the Year!
Apologies for the delay in setting this up: almost immediately post the EOYTs the family Boo took some early Christmas leave to poke around the South Island – yes, had a great time, thanks for asking – returning just in time for the pre-Christmas rush. But now, as the weather has packed up (and when it packs up here it packs up) and there is no cricket on I have time to organise.
For those unfamiliar with the process the rules for the 2024 TSF TOTY as they currently stand are:
-
The Organising Committee is the sole judge of fact and law
-
The Committee consists of @booboo
-
The process is in two phases:
a. Nomination
b. Voting -
Players are nominated and subsequently voted for by position.
-
Nominee must have played at least one Test Match in calendar year 2024
Explanatory notes:
a. Cast your minds back to the Six Nations, and June Internationals as well as Super and whatever comps they play in Europe
b. Form in SVNS is admissible – but should be given limited weighting but this is really about Tests
c. Coaches who exclusively coached SVNS are not admissible (this is for Test Matches)
d. Nominations of coaches of Women’s teams will be accepted with appropriate justification. -
Nominees must be backed with some sort of decent reasoning
Explanatory note:
a. a simple nomination because you regard your opinion as self-evident means you’re a dickhead and your nomination will be ignored unless the conditions of rule 6 are complied with -
Form in all levels of rugby is admissible as justification, but please refer rules 5 and 6
-
Stupid nominations and suggestions will be mocked pitilessly
-
All other rules made up as we go
-
Any rule queries will referred to the Organising Committee
a. In the event of any dispute please refer rules 1 and 2. -
Use of the same weak Dad Jokes that have been used for decades is mandatory and must be laughed at.
Nomination and voting threads will be in the Fernies sub-forum: https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/category/69/fernies
Timing:
Nominations will run for a couple of weeks, allowing TSFers to return from holiday to work and normality, and fit around the Organising Committee’s work commitments.Voting will run for a week or two after that.
Close dates and times at complete discretion of the Organising Committee, but we’ll wrap up in time for kick off in the Six Nations.
Please proceed to the positional threads to nominate and vote as required.
