Creating a thread for everyone to show off and share their clever/funny NRL Fantasy and SuperCoach Team names.
Just because it's always been something that interests me, I thought I would go ahead and ask people on here what possible names for NRL expansion teams they would like to see if competition decides to expand in next 5 to 10 years. It can be any name for any place either in Australia or over in New Zealand, Pacific or Papua New Guinea.
I'd probably look to go the Darwin Doornobs, or possibly The Perth Fist, if you have something better, you know what do.
As the title says, as pre-season fever seems to be picking up around here i thought this would be a bit of fun.
I'll start- Garry Lo. He seemed to catch peoples eyes in the WC.
1 Michael Gordon 2 Brett Morris 3 Chris Lawrence 4 Ryan Morgan 5 Edrick Lee 6 Corey Norman 7 Benji Marshall 8 Ryan James 9 Isaac Luke 10 James Graham 11 Josh Jackson 12 Glenn Stewart 13 Adam Blair 14 Beau Scott 15 Alex Glenn 16 Luke Lewis 17 Blake Austin
I'd love to hear some of them, as I'm trying to decide between Get Tuivasa-Sheckt and Bird is the Turd as my team name.
##Finals are just one round away. There’s still a stack of teams in the hunt for the eight, there’s spots in the four up for grabs and there’s pride on the line.
Congratulations to Parra for winning the minor premiership and Canterbury for winning the major spoon.
#For those that haven't played before - here's how it works
I'll set up a heading below for each game. If you wish, you can roll for your side. One person per team per round only obviously, illegitimate rolls excluded (wrong flair, edited post etc), errors in rolling will be excluded. The first roller counts. First in, best dressed - anyone can roll, there's no designated roller!!!! Roll just once or come every week, it's up to you. Easy to learn, all welcome.
#How to roll (Suggestions to improve realism welcomed)
To roll for your team, write the team name, then on the next line summon /u/nrl_d20, the bot. The next line should read:
Home, you write: [8d6e6p1p3p5+1d20k1+4 teamname] + /u/nrl_d20
Away team writes: [8d6e6p1p3p5+1d20k1 teamname] + /u/nrl_d20
Whatever each side rolls is their full time score, whoever scores most wins.
Results will be put at the top here in the post for easy reading and the competition table will be compiled!! Woo hoo.
#What does the roll mean?
8d6= roll 8 d6s.
e6=explode on 6, i.e. if a 6 is rolled roll another dice (woohoo! six again!).
p1p3p5=if the roll is an odd number, count it as zero. Add all even numbers to the total, though.
1d20k1= roll a d20, and if a 1 is rolled, add it to the total!
Have a look under the "practice" header to see what others do.
#NEW GOLDEN POINT RULE
If you were the first to roll in your game then you are the first to have a crack at field goal. Roll a 1d3, and summon the bot. If you roll a 3, it's FIELD GOAL TIME and you win! Otherwise, you've missed - so sit back and see if your opponent can score. If they can't, you get one more crack. If you miss, they get another go. After those, it's declared a draw.
#24 hour rule.
A new rule has come into force - If after 24 hours, a team has not been rolled for, then anyone can come in and roll a default roll of 4d6e6p1p3p5 teamname to simulate the team's roll. The default roll MUST have "default" in the comment. Of course, if a flair wearing supporter comes in after 24 hours and nobody has rolled the default, they can roll the normal roll for their side.
#Matches Round 25, final round:
Key matches:
... keep reading on reddit ➡With their 28-38 loss against the raiders in round 20, the Sharks have become the 1st NRL team to qualify for finals without a win against a top 8 side. The only other time this has happened with a top 8 system was the 1995 North Sydney Bears with 11 wins in a 20 team comp all against sides outside the 8.
Saw a comment somewhere here that once Benji and McQueen leave the Tigers this year, they’ll have no more premiership winners on their roster which I thought was crazy. So I had a look through every team to see how many they have on their rosters. Obviously theres grand final experience and rep experience to account for on each team but still some interesting results. I used Zerotackle which didn’t have McQueen listed on the Tigers squad so if I missed any, sorry but I’m too lazy check.
ROOSTERS: 16
Mitch Aubusson, Nat Butcher, Boyd Cordner, Angus Crichton, Jake Friend, Luke Keary, Isaac Liu, Joey Manu, Brett Morris, Victor Radley, Siosiua Taukeiaho, James Tedesco, Daniel Tupou, Sam Verills, Jared Waerea Hargreaves, Sonny Bill Williams.
No surprises there.
STORM: 10
Josh Addo Carr, Nelson Asofa Solomona, Jesse Bromwich, Kenny Bromwich, Dale Finucane, Felise Kaufusi, Ricky Leutele, Cameron Munster, Cameron Smith, Suliasi Vunivalu
Pretty much their core from 2017 + Ricky Leutele lol
COWBOYS: 9
John Asiata, Gavin Cooper, Kyle Feldt, Jake Granville, Valentine Holmes, Jordan Maclean, Michael Morgan, Justin O’Neill, Jason Taumalolo.
Man this one makes me sad. A lot of the 2015 squad still around + Holmes and Maclean. Should be way better on paper. Payten to take us to the promise land in 2021.
BUNNIES: 5
Tom Burgess, Alex Johnston, Ethan Lowe, Latrell Mitchell, Adam Reynolds
I was pretty surprised about the drop off after the Cowboys. Gurgess, AJ and Reynolds the last guys remaining from 2014
BRONCOS: 4 (3 if u don’t count Issac Luke)
Darius Boyd, Jack Bird, Isaac Luke*, Ben Te’o
Isaac Luke wasn’t in the actual Grand final squad but personally I’d still count him. Pretty crazy that Boyd’s the only one that’s won it with the Broncos
BULLDOGS: 3
Kieran Foran, Will Hopoate, Dylan Napa, *Aiden Tolman
4 if you count Tolman’s 2009 Storm ring. No surprises that the doggies 2 best players are prem winners.
WARRIORS: 3
Gerard Beale, *Adam Blair, Tohu Harris, Roger Tuivasa Sheck
Just like the doggies, they have 4 if you count Blair’s 2009 Storm ring and just like the doggies, their 2 best players are prem winners
SHARKS: 3 Andrew Fifita, Wade Graham, Chad Townsend
Only 3 left from 2016
MANLY: 3
Daly Cherry Evans, Dylan Walker, Tony Williams
Manly halves combo + T-Rex.
EELS: 3
Blake Ferguson, Michael Jennings, Ryan Matterson
All the Eels prem winners won theirs at the Roosters lol
**PANTHER
... keep reading on reddit ➡So the NRL has a bunch of teams that can fit into a certain stereotype. As an uneducated fair weather AFL fan, I’m curious to find out which teams are similar... so yeah! Here are the NRL teams.
Brisbane Broncos Canberra Raiders Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs Cronulla Sutherland Sharks Gold Coast Titans Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Melbourne Storm Newcastle Knights New Zealand Warriors North Queensland Cowboys Parramatta Eels Penrith Panthers South Sydney Rabbitohs St George Illawarra Dragons Sydney Roosters Wests Tigers
Have at it
