![]() That said, there is only one such player, and he should be protected with due dilligence, because opposing teams can and will mark him. What's that mean? It means that the Pogoer can't be sent off for using his pogo stick, and a Pogoer can be a tremendous asset to a Goblin coach who knows how to properly utilize him. One benefit for the current Goblin team is that the Pogoer is no longer considered to be a Secret Weapon. Otherwise, it might be argued they're simply slightly faster Halflings with green skin. It is not that a standard Goblin team can't win at all without the aid of such weapons, but they're a huge help. Because Bombardiers, Looneys, and Fanatics are classed as carrying " Secret Weapons" it is highly likely that these players will be sent off from a game, sometimes after playing for only a very brief period of time. Goblins have more access to "secret weapons" than any other team in the game, and much of the Goblin coach's strategy must develop based upon when, where, and even if these weapons are to be deployed. Star Players available for inducement to a Goblin Team include Bomber Dribblesnot, Fungus the Loon, Nobbla Blackwart, Scrappa Sorehead, Ripper, and Morg 'n' Thorg. Whether the Goblins have got better, or everyone else has got quite a bit worse, well, that's up to the individual player to decide. However, that has changed with recent editions of the game. In fact, Blood Bowl fluff has called them -the- worst team in Blood Bowl on more than one occasion. Historically, Goblins have been viewed as one of the worst teams in Blood Bowl. Goblins justify this by pointing out that it helps to "even the playing field." Goblin teams are most famous among the professional Blood Bowl teams for "dirty plays" - tricks, bribes, fouls, secret weapons - they have all of them in spades. While they are decent catchers, they are not particularly good at throwing, and tend to get smashed around a lot by the bigger teams. In Blood Bowl, Goblin teams owe most of their allure to potential and luck rather than actual skill. Though they are arguably the most intelligent of the Orkoid species, they are small, weak, and vulnerabe, and have a reputation for being both cowardly and less than trustworthy.
