Whale accepts Mallard’s challenge

May 28th, 2011 at 4:49 pm by David Farrar

Whale Oil blogs:

Trevor Mal­lard has issued a chal­lenge. As is usual for the crip­ple he has picked the one sport he is good at it (if you can all it a sport) and he has also picked on the wrong per­son for a challenge.

So Trevor, I accept your chal­lenge

Excellent, and this will give Trevor a real incentive to get back in shape.

Firstly, I need a bike, not just any bike the same bike you use. We have to race using exactly the same equip­ment. It is only fair. The only dif­fer­ence will be the rid­ers. A Crip­ple vs a Whale.

Sec­ondly, the race will be on August 15 and I pick 60kms for the dis­tance, if you are going to go, go big.

I suspect there will be a large media contingent following the race.

Thirdly, since you picked a sport that you excel at, it is only fair that there be a counter-challenge and I choose box­ing. You men­tioned your “fear” of my exces­sive bulk. I cur­rently weigh 105kg. You stated in the com­ments on Red Alert that if I got train­ing then I would lose 30kg and you’re are prob­a­bly right, there­fore there should be no rea­son other than your cow­ardice for reject­ing a box­ing match 8 weeks after our cycle race.

I understand that the boxing match will be pay per view, and that all proceeds from the match would go towards helping the recovery in Christchurch.

    Interesting to watch, I don’t think The Duck has the nuts to man up on this one, all mouth and trousers.
    Standing toe to toe against The Whale there would be a pretty fair chance he will get the shit knocked out of him in short order, which I’m sure most of the country would love to see.
    Mind you the soft cock is probably likely to claim he can’t be touched as parlimentary privilege applies, go Whale give the whimp the bash, he’s earned it.

    I think the compromise offered on shooting is reasonable. If Trevor has an existing neck condition and I have no reason to doubt him, this is the obvious way to go.

    This all started because Whale called Trevor a cripple. I think cycling is a legitimate way for one to demonstrate that they aren’t crippled, whether Trevor is good at it or not.

    Just put this up at ele’s place:-

    The bloody wuss Mallard has ducked out, citing various medical conditions which somehow didn’t stop him mixing it up with Tau Henare.

    This is the ultimate epic FAIL for Labour.

    Their ‘campaign manager’ has managed to turn himself into a National laughing stock. Hell he couldn’t manage a decent crap during a sewerage farm visit.

    Can you imagine John Key’s response to Trev The Wuss’s next question in the house?

    ‘shakes head in disbelief at such crass stupidity’

    It’s no wonder Clare Curren is walking away from all this rot. She goes up in my estimation.

    @Johnboy. You are a fool. You are a John Minto of the right. A challenge was issued and accepted with conditions. The conditions could not be met so a counter proposal was made. So far this challenge has been reasonable. Slater has time to get confident on a bike and Mallard has time to figure out how to shoot. I hope this happens.

    Someone is telling porkies:

    From Gotcha (today): Trevor says:”No big secret that I had a spinal (neck) injury play­ing rugby about a decade ago which has left me with pretty severe cord com­pres­sion and highly ele­vated risk lev­els. No con­tact sports of pub­lic variety.

    Hold that thought.

    From Scoop (10 September 2007): http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0709/S00174.htm

    The article quotes: “Mr O’Connor [Damien O'Connor] is a hugely enthusiastic member of the parliamentary rugby team – a team that has included such legendary rugby players as Trevor Mallard, John Tamihere and John Carter.

    Now both statements can’t be true, so my question is: Is Trevor telling porkies? Surely he can’t say he suffered a neck injury a decade ago and as a result he can’t participate in contact sports, only to then play rugby for the parliamentary team??

    Or has he bloused out because he’s running scared of the Whale?

    And he had no trouble laying one on Tau in Parliament buildings – mind you that was more than likely a blindsider but still people I know with spinal injuries generally try and avoid the fisticuffs.

    Yup – a king hit. A real nice touch. The coven didn’t want charges laid but in stepped Joe Public and a complaint was laid that simply could not be ignored. Now Mallard has a conviction for his trouble. And yet this thug still wants to lead the country…

    @ Elaycee, I have no idea about the rules of the parliamentary rugby team and playing rules, but it is probably played under limited contact rules ie. No pressure in the scrum etc. I am not running an apologise here for Mallard but I see no inconsistency from him to date. Failure to match Slater with a shotgun well then Slater wins.

    @IHS: I’ve only seen one game involving the Parliamentary rugby team (a curtain raiser somewhere) and there was no shortage of contact on that occasion!

    Seems odd that a Scoop piece dated September 2007 would refer to Mallard as having played for the Parliamentary team if he had suffered an injury circa 2001. Only explanation (unless Trevor is telling porkies) is that the injury occurred prior to 2001.

    Who knows?

    @Elayce, You have the advantage of having been at at a match. I have watched a scrum on TV and it looked to me that no pressure was applied. That makes a lot of sense. Rugby is very different to boxing . At the end of the day you are correct Who Knows ? I hope Mallard and Slater can come up with terms that work. For the record I will back Slater to to win. Oh and there is no way I would get into a boxing mach with a him. My gamble is that Slater can get close to Mallard on a bike but Mallard can’t upskill on the gun.

    As much as I detest Mallard- I’m struggling to figure out why ‘The Whale’ was being spoken of as such a tough character…has he boxed before?? I’ve seen him post a few gloating pictures of shooting a few cats (which doesn’t exactly scream ‘badass’ to me…) Seems unless you are a flea-ridden toothless old moggy you shouldn’t have too much to worry about….

    thedavincimode says (9.17am): “Mallard winds up a winner either way.”

    If Mallard steps into a ring with Whale and Whale sits him on his arse, the only way that Mallard could be deemed to be a winner is if he copied the Penny Bright version of ‘success’ – in Mallard’s case he would merely be the first loser.
