To find a discussion on an already made rugbyish team, go to:

http://www.talkbloodbowl.com/phpBB2/vie ... php?t=1167

The team has been tested in our league and it achieves the following goals:
-It presents a new type of a team by the introduction of the dump-off team
-It is not overpowered
-But it is still competitive

I used to play Second Row. Thank you for the positions in english. French anyone?

[DoubleSkulls]

2 Second Rows
2 Locks (AKA Flankers)

2nd Row and Lock refer to the same position. Flanker is a separate position.

[McDeth]

[DoubleSkulls]

Been looking for this quote for ages....

Front Row - Without a doubt the manliest men on the pitch. Large, often hairy, beer swilling carnivores that can and will smash anything in their path. Revelling in the violence inherent in the scrum, they are rarely considered "nice" people, and in fact to some they aren't even considered human's at all. Front rowers tolerate this attitude far and wide because they recognise their role at the top of the food chain and are used to suffering the fools that surround them. Accused by some of simply being dumb, I prefer to think of this group as "open to unconventional ways of thinking."

Locks - Slightly below the front row on the food chain. As with front row players it is inadvisable to put an appendage you wish to keep near this group's maw when they are in the feeding mode. This group of large, often foul smelling brutes is also more than willing to relish the finer points of stomping on a fallen opponent's body and will gleefully recount the tale ad infinitum. While they tend to take the tag "Powerhouse of the Scrum" a little too seriously, they can be useful if injured with the proper hatred of their fellow man. While members of this proud fraternity like to think of themselves as "open to unconventional ways of thinking" - they are usually just dumb.

Back Row - These are fine fit fellows who, like a bunch of hermaphrodites, are confused as to what their role in life should be. While they know they are undeniably linked to the forwards, there are those among them who long for the perfect hair and long flowing gowns that come with being a back. Some relish the forward role and will do anything to win the ball and there are others within this group that will break the prime directive of the forward and do anything to prance foolishly with the ball. Generally, these guys are not all bad, but I, personally, have to wonder about any forward who brings a hairbrush and a change of clothes to a game.

Scrum Half - Some like to think of this back as an honorary forward. I myself tend to think of the No. 9 as half a fag. While the toughest back almost always fills this position, this idea is almost laughable - kind of like the hottest fat chick. The scrum half's presence is tolerated by the forwards because they know that he will spin the ball to the rest of the girls in the backline who will inevitably knock the ball on and allow them the pleasure of another scrum. The No. 9 can take pride in the fact that he is the lowest numbered back and that as such he can be considered almost worthwhile.

Fly Half - Primary role is the leader of the backs - a dubious honour at best. Main responsibilities as far as I can tell is ability to throw the ball over people's heads and to provide something soft for opposing back rowers to land on. Expected to direct the prancing of the rest of the backline - the fly half, like any good Broadway choreographer, is usually gay.

There's more...While some may argue that these girls must be protected, I find it hard to support anyone whose foot touches a rugby ball on purpose.

Centres - Usually come in two varieties - hard charger or flitting fairy. The hard charger is the one to acquire, as he will announce his presence in a game with the authority rarely found above No. 8. The flitting fairy is regrettably more common and will usually attempt to avoid contact at all costs. The flitting fairy is also only one good smack away from bursting into tears and leaving the pitch to cry on the shoulder of his inevitable girlfriend. Both types will have extensive collections of hair care products in their kit bags and will be among the best dressed at the post-game festivities.

Back 3 - While some people refer to this group as 2 wingers and a fullback, I swear to God I can't make out any difference between them. They are all homos if you ask me. How these three guys can play 90 minutes of RUGBY and stay clean and sweat free is beyond me. I know for a fact that their jerseys sometimes go back in the bag cleaner than when they came out. These ladies are fond of sayings like "Speed Kills" and "Wheels Win", how cute. Well, I have a saying too - it's "You're a homo!! These guys will be easy to spot after the game because they are the finely coifed, sweater wearin', wine sippin', sweet talkin' homos in the corner avoiding the beer swilling curs at the bar. On the whole, I really don't mind this group because in the end, they sure are pretty to look at.

Good job I wasn't a back

[Deathwing]

Given that I spent my schoolboy rugby career playing hooker, I'm a little disgruntled to be lumped in with the props in 'the front row'.
Pretty good assessment on the whole though..we always referred to the backs as 'the ponces'.

[DoubleSkulls]

Hooker The ugliest psychopath on the entire team. This is the player who has no ears of his own, but a very fine collection of other people's.

Ian

[Deathwing]

LOL! Hookers are sweet and innocent and certainly the only gentlemen amongst the forwards.
..Ahem..
...No further comment...

[manusate]

I´ve played with two different Hookers in my short career. First was Ramón "the degenerate", and second there was that guy we used to call "Little Atila".

Both were dangerous psychopaths.

[Darkson]

But what are the REAL names of the different player-positions and what are there job?

Martin - Milkman
Ryan - fitness instructor
Gary - unemployed......

Well, you did ask for their real names and jobs.


Sorry, I go now .
