El-Barak stood on the hill overlooking his own personal battlefield. The pitch, red and barren, glistened in the pre-dawn haze. This would be the scene of his first great triumph, his first proud moment that would help capture the imagination of the masses. It was the first step in returning to his homeland bathed in the glory of a thousand victories.

His eyes creased into a squint and the empty pitch in front of him was transformed into a writhing mass of colours and shapes, the sounds of cheering fans assailed his ears. He picked out his team amongst the cacophony of noise. The Deadvishes jerked and cavorted down the pitch, surging forth to the demands of his will. The crowd let out a roar of appreciation as another humanoid outline crumpled to the floor, referee vainly trying to break the scrum fast forming around the body.

Suddenly, out from the roiling mass, shot a streak of colour with the ball clutched tight. Barrelling over anything in its way and driven on by the frenzy of the crowd, the touchdown line was crossed in a blaze of glory. He revelled in the moment as the masses chanted his name over and over.

With a snap that startled him, he broke from his reprieve. Slowly the images faded from in front of him, the sun now burning brightly overhead. Time was fast approaching when his dreams would become reality and the dead would bring him a new lease of life. He would reap what he had sewn. He would crush his enemies and hear the lamentation of their women. No life would be spared in his pursuit of glory. His time was now.

The Asgardome was awash with noise, the townspeople had gathered in droves for a glimpse of their hometown heroes going through the motions of preseason training.
On one side of the field were the veterans, alittle bit older but still showing signs of their former skills.
On the other were a fresh crop of youngsters, being put to the test in the tryouts to join the famous team.
But something worried coach Toonie, the draw for the new season was scheduled and tickets reserved for the Asgardian fans were sold out, but the allotted tickets for their opponents had still not even been put up for sale.
Word had it that coach Bullockist was missing, his team nowhwere to be seen, the training grounds quiet.
A letter was submitted to the Administrators of the SWL with a reply of "We're looking into it."
Coach Toonie hoped thatBullockist had swept his team away to some secret area to train and that he would return to start the season.
But there were more pressing matters, coach Chulmago had withdrawn and his team had been replaced by a team coached by an old nemisis, Snorri's Vanguard of the Southern Ark had returned!
The team that had shown sheer determination against the Norsemen and ground them to a halt with just two players.
Toonie was happy though, an old rivalry would be great for ticket sales.

As the seconds on clock were winding down the dark elvess were sweating as they needed to get from the line down to the end zone. with a flash of inspiration they crowded around the ladies surronding the ball and then the witch elf barrelled in pushing and shoving her way throw trying the get the ball carrier clear then a blitz pushed Belakor clear with a mad sprint he clear the melee and with a bare second left his feet touched the endzone scoring the equalizing try.

With the whistle blown the Daughters looked around and thought if not for the blessing of Menoth it could have been much worse. A draw is better than a loss after all. Next was a group of unholy undead. With that thought they grinned as they made plans of how to destroy the abominations.

Toonie looked at the season schedule, what was entering the arena, sure didn't look like lizardmen.
He could tell by the stench, that these were foul abominations from beyond the grave.
A herald approached and handed him a scroll.
On it was a revised season schedule, printed in bold red letters at the bottom was the word FINAL.
He looked it over and said to his coaching staff, "It appears we are to play a team by the name of Primetime Rebirth, coached by Tomay."
So the Asgardians took to the field and played a team they had never faced before and left with a 2-1 loss.
But had suffered no serious injuries and the veterans showed some skill, even though they were a little rusty.
The cut from the match was appalling, but looking at the schedule again, he smiled.
"We have the Skinks next, that is sure to fill the coffers, get some rest men, tomorrow we train to give everyone a good show."

<b>Southern Wastes Magazine</b>

<b><u>TEAMSCENE</b></u>

It's time now to take a moment from the hectic schedule of games, and take a detailed look at a couple of the teams playing in the (in)famous SWL.

<b>Mort Avaritia</b>
Coach: OldBugman
Titles: SWL XXXVI Premier Champions
Games Played: 69
Team Status: Veteran

Striking fear into the hearts of SWL coaches for over 10 seasons now, Mort Avaritia have finally achieved the penultimate honour, earning the right to be called Premier Champs in season 36. Having been the bridesmaids twice before (seasons 30 and 33), this victory was doubly sweet, notching up an SWL record 12 casualties (9/3/0) against Hangar18's Khemri from the Dwarf. With season 37 now underway, bookies already have them as favourites to take a second pennant.
Although currently officially an 'Established' team according to SWL standards, they are a mere 2 games away from acheiving 'official' Legendary status. Most coaches and players would argue that the team is already Legendary, and the presence milestone but a formality. Either way, it is clear that these infamous worshippers of Chaos will be striking fear into the hearts of teams, and evoking bloodthirsty glee from their fans, for the foreseeable future.

<b>Woodies Reunion Tour</b>
Coach: erikekers
Titles: SWL XXXV Premier Champions
Games Played: 35
Team Status: Established

The fortunes of the Woodies Reunion Tour began to rise when reknowned coach erikekers took the reins. Setting himself the improbable task of winning a pennant with a team of vampires, erikekers astounded the SWL when he managed to secure his team a place in season 34's premier division - where they then proceeded to take second place. Season 35 saw tickets selling out in moments, as fans flocked to see if the Woodies could back up their performance, or take a taildive. Despite the standard of opposition (including previous champs, Snorri's Seekers), the Vamps achieved the unthinkable - Premiership gold.
Ranked as the top Vampire team in any number of categories, this team is well on it's way to securing Veteran status.

<b>Windies 1980</b>

Coach: markCuz
Titles:
Games Played: 14
Team Status: Unknown

Newcomers to the SWL, these humans have nonetheless made an impression, if only for their willingness to step up to the challenges of the Conference divisions. The team had a moment of triumph in their first season, notching up a phenomenal 6-0 win over Quod's Schola, and sending the bookies scrambling to make adjustments to the odds for the season. Since then, although only winning one other match, the Windies have developed a solid fanbase, who all look forward to celebrating the teams upcoming milestone (Established team) on their 15th match.

***The following awards were brought to you at great cost. Many brave, young SWL magazine intern-goblins sacrificed their lives to obtain the information contained herein from the deadly, dark, dastardly dungeons of the SWL High Commission...***

Premier, Conference and Regional Twahnlows for Season XXXI!

The Twahnlow Shield for Most Blocks:
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/shield_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Gold Shield: Bilefislik the Decrepid (68) of Dead Rat Walking - Interesting Note: In his former life, Bilefislik had his career curtailed by the boot of Pecus III of Schola. Sources inside DRW say that the top-blocker Mummy still mutters the name 'Pecus' whenever he gets riled up!
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/shield_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Silver Shield: naca'Tamalli (85) from Hngri-Hngri Lizzies - Interesting Note: Tamalli was captain for his team until midway through this season, when an internal struggle saw his older spawn-mate, Xoxuhkwi take the reins!
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/shield_bronze.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Bronze Shield: Mikey (72) from Steve of the Dead - Interesting Note: Some say Mikey hits so hard due to his resentment for Steve. When asked why he is such a hard working blocker, Mikey looked a little sad, and muttered 'I was just made this way...'

The Twahnlow Knuckles for most Casualties:
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/knuckles_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Gold Knuckles: Richard Randall (8) from Mort Avaritia - Interesting Note: Unlike his less fortunate brother-in-arms, Trevor Swan, Mr. Randall continues to terrorise his opponents, remaining as top enforcer for the team. Despite moving a little slower in his old age, he still enjoys the chase, but prefers it when the victim doesn't squirm so much, claiming that “...it demeans us both...”
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/knuckles_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>and Gold Knuckles: Trevor Swan (8) from Mort Avaritia – Interesting Note: Mr. Swan was unable to comment on his achievement, having being killed on the pitch in the last match of the season which won his team the Premiership. Receiving the posthumous award on his behalf, his widow stated that “Trev was a gentle old soul, who loved to knit... until the fateful day that he was blessed with an eviscerating claw. His crochet work was never quite the same, after that...”
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/knuckles_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>and Gold Knuckles: Bilefost Stain (8) from Dead Rat Walking – Interesting Note: Bilefost has wasted no time in making an impression since joining the team, through the simple expedient of..well, making impressions on other players. With 10 casualties from a mere 70 blocks this hard hitting Mummy is one to keep an eye on. Preferrably from the other side of the pitch...
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/knuckles_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Silver Knuckles: Constance Worthington (7) from Oxford Ladies Club - Interesting Note: Constance pictures the face of her estranged husband whenever she blocks an opposing player. Visualise and attack!
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/knuckles_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>and Silver Knuckles: Dominus Mortifer IV from Schola – Interesting Note: The fourth iteration of the Dominus Mortifer name, Mr. Mortifer is a far more dangerous version of his namesake. With just one more casualty, he will equal the number of casualties that the three previous Dominus Mortifers had inflicted.
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/knuckles_bronze.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Bronze Knuckles: Mikey (6) from Steve of the Dead - [i]Interesting Note: Not content with hitting things a lot, Mikey seems to feel the need to hit them hard. Sources from inside the team claim that, before a match, Mikey prepares himself by repeatedly pounding the dugout wall, drinking a fiery potion (2 parts moonshine, 3 parts distilled oxblood, and a sprinkle of cinnamon), and listening to Aqua “...to put him in the killing mood...”



The Twahnlow Fist for the lowest blocks per casualty ratio:
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/fist_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Kssnn (3.25) from Slumbering Skink - Interesting Note: Rumour has it that the Skink coach has struck a deal with one of the shadier Old Gods, sacrificing what little agility Kssnn had for even more striking ability. So far, it appears to have paid off!
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/fist_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Silver Fist: Lumps (4) from Pus is Good for You
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/fist_bronze.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Bronze Fist: Undead Ambassador (5.33) from Less than Fantasy - Interesting Note: Sources close to Mr. Ambassador state that he is extremely superstitious, feeling the need to keep to a certain ratio of blocks per touchdowns per game..!

The Twahnlow Boot for most fouls:
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/boot_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Gold Boot: Saba (21) from the Fukuoka Fireflies - Interesting Note: Saba never wanted to be known for her proficiency with the boot, but her mother always told her to 'use what she got'. It is for the same reason that Saba is also very well known in most of the ports along the east coast of the Southern Wastes, although not for her fouling. Apparently her footwear still features though...
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/boot_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Silver Boot: Vepres III (21) from Schola - Interesting Note: Vepres allegedly has a personal crusade to inflict more casualties with his boot than his companions can make with their claws and fists.
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/boot_bronze.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Bronze Boot: Gertrude Palarosa (12) from More Rats of Nymh – Gertie had to fight hard for this award; seems ratmen from Nymh have a particular penchant for fouling, the team notching up almost twice as many fouls as any other team in the Regionals!

The Twahnlow Glove for most interceptions:
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/glove_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Gold Glove: No Qualifiers
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/glove_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Silver Glove: No Qualifiers
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/glove_bronze.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Bronze Glove: No Qualifiers

The Twahnlow Slipper for most yards rushing:
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/slipper_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Gold Slipper: Albert Symons (117) from Mort Avarita - Interesting Note: Albe...sorry, MR. Symons, scoffs at the notion that he is an elf suffering from Hypertrichosis, or any sort of elf! He claims he does enjoy a nice goblet of mulled Elf blood on a cold winters eve, however...
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/slipper_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Silver Slipper: Banded Rat (154) of Good, Bad, Furry - Interesting Note: Banded Rat also scored the inaugural SWL Most Valuable Player award.
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/slipper_bronze.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Bronze Slipper: Backdoor Andy from Blackwater Blitz - Interesting Note: Allegedly, Andy is known as 'Backdoor', due to his penchant for sliding under opposing players legs and whipping their...behinds... as he dodges away to score.

The Twahnlow Arrow for most yards passing:
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/arrow_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Gold Arrow: Risu (19) from Fukuoka Fireflies
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/arrow_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Silver Arrow: Bloody Mary (68) from Woodland Monarchs
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/arrow_bronze.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Bronze Arrow: Breeze Cannon (33) from Less than Fantasy

The Twahnlow Boomerang for most completions:
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/boomerang_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Gold Boomerang: Disaray (7) from Remember Failure
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/boomerang_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Silver Boomerang: Fynnelth (14) from Orlando Bloom's Groupies
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/boomerang_bronze.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Bronze Boomerang: Breeze Cannon (12) from Less than Fantasy

The Twahnlow Arm for the highest yards per completion ratio:
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/arm_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Gold Arm: Risu (4.75) from Fukuoka Fireflies
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/arm_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Silver Arm: Bloody Mary (6.8) from Woodland Monarchs
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/arm_bronze.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Bronze Arm: Gilbert Cummins (3) from More Rats of Nymh

The Twahnlow Ball for most Touchdowns:
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/football_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Gold Ball: Adam Opel (6) from German Vermin
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/football_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Silver Ball: Banded Rat (13) from Good, Bad, Furry
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/football_bronze.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Bronze Ball: Backdoor Andrew (6) from Blackwater Blitz

The Twahnlow Star for most Star Player Points earned:
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/star_gold.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Gold Star: Tonbo (26) from Fukuoka Fireflies - Interesting Note: Tonbo is a true all-rounder, and the deserved winner of the Gold Star, notching up 4 TD's, 2 completions, and striking 6 casualties from a cool 50 blocks!
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/star_silver.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Silver Star: Banded Rat (45!) from Good, Bad, Furry - Interesting Note: Banded Rat has dominated the confs in a number of areas this season, also taking home the Silver Ball and Silver Slipper!.
<IMG src="http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk202/MatsuRaga/star_bronze.gif" width=50 height=50></IMG>Bronze Star: Undead Ambassador (29) from Less than Fantasy

Congratulations to all the winners!

Yet another debacle vs the vermin, this one actually felt worse than the original because it really does feel like an end.

Turn four, coach pondered why did the seekers give up a free 2d block to a hopeful gutter runner? Sure, some might say it was a lucky shot, but the teams from Snorriheim have never ever been in the business of giving away lucky shots or half chances. Only ever when there's a backup plan and only ever if there's a positional advantage to be gained from it. Both were sorely lacking at this juncture. It was...like luring fate to do the obscene, almost ... lusting after the madness.

He reckoned they'd actually lost their plot two turns earlier and started abashing with the gay abandonment of a noob. Even if it did seem to pay off at the time. Fighting on past every hurdle coming their way (and they come thick and fast with pro elves) has looked like fighting through a fog in recent times...a bit pointless and often they've found themselves collectively just not caring enough anymore. The seekers have finished seeking, and don't know what to do when not seeking. Sure, they could do it all over again, its all in the frame of mind, but what exactly would be the point?

Which probably means its time to retire gracefully rather than carry on being a shadow of what once was. Coach looked around at snorriheim - once fever pitched with bloodbowl and schedules revolving around the weekly highlight. Now the weekly highlight often only gets attention if it fits within other schedules and is often postponed and when it does fit in, it feels like a task rather than a spectacle. The town of snorriheim too is going through a baby boom and a bout of unexpected productivity. Gone are the outdoor sports activities, chess tournaments and hobby clubs...in with the baby clothes, open sourced projects and elevated responsibilities in all areas of work.

The fading of blood bowl too, perhaps, was inevitable, but the glory of yesteryear postponed it for a good while.

In actual important SWL news (as opposed to that rubbish in the other thread), triple premier winner Sin-ler-fa was killed yesterday in a straight up block by human Lineman AME Roberts during what was an all around bloodbath for the lizards.

Season 26, the first Skink Premiership, he scored 7 times including a game winning T16 OTT against long time rivals the Asgardians in his first match after rolling +ag. At his passing he leaves behind an all time rushing record for the SWL that may never be broken.

Dun Dun, Da Da Dun Dun Da Da Dun Dun Dun Daaaa. <News Style Music>

Well folks, it's been a while. This is Carbine, reporting from my new position as Press Officer for the Storm. You may remember me from such news reports as "Breweries Chunkathon Challenge" and "Big Gordo Retires - End of a Era"

Today however, we're talking about one of the Stars of the Future. In his first season in the SWL, Cam Smith of the Storm has joined a rather Exclusive club. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, he's now a Bloody Dozen member! The Bloody dozen is a honorific for those players who manage to block thier way to earning 12 or more Cas in a season. This feat has only been done 6 times in the History of the SWL, with only 5 players acheiving this.

With one game to go in the season, the big question on everyone's lips, is can Cam move up the Bloody Dozen pecking order? Standing at the top of the list is Mort Avaritia legend Geoffrey Grimwade, with 20 Cas back in Season 31, and also 13 in Season 28. To move up into second place behind Geoffrey, Cam must get another 2 cas in his next game against the Atrocity Vendors. Can he do it? Only time will tell

This is Carbine, Storm Press Officer, Signing off

Bloody Dozen Leaderboard

Season 31 -Geoffrey Grimwade - 20
Season 28 - Geoffrey Grimwade - 13
Season 25 - Udhachagnd - 13
Season 22 - Einarr - 13
Season 9 - Bloody Flux - 12
Season 24 - The Replacemnt - 12
Season 37 - Cam Smith - 12*

<b>Southern Wastes Magazine</b>

<b><u>TEAMSCENE</b></u>

Today, we look at a team that made quite a stir on its entrance to the SWL...

<b>Less than Fantasy</b>
Coach: Relezite
Titles:
Games Played: 13
Team Status: Unknown

Beginning their SWL journey in season 36, these elves managed to turn heads with their dynamic, ruthless style of play. Despite an upset by the skaven of Nymh, Less than Fantasy romped home with 6 wins, including a 6-0 pasting of some feckless Amazons coached by the infamous Toonie. Their second season has been less one-sided, with some solid games against the more established teams introducing them to the true level of challenge that SWL can provide.
Once they are firmly established, this will certainly be one team to watch.

As the sound of the final siren fading away all that could be seen of the rats that had taken the field was a storm vermin, a linerat and a lone gutter runner. Looking round they decided it would be better if they scurried off the field before the fans rush them and caused more injuries. Of which the Skaven had taken many their injury boxes getting crowded with the wounded and unconcious. The Daughter quietly withdrew knowing that their work was not yet done there were still more heretics and unholy abominations out there that need to feel Menoths wrath.

~Back in the Daughter's change rooms~

Dalina followed her squad into the change rooms, her heart full of pleasure at having punished that ragtag group of ratmen. Then the thought that the season was over made her think of their future. She would entrust it to the Creator's will, with that she hurried to the post match service leaving thoughts of bloody revenge for another day and another field.

The winner of the SWL Rising Star award

Oryx
Still a relative newcomer to SWL, Oryx made his presence felt this season with some great displays of coaching. Sure, he still makes the occasional mistake but his unique playstyle and continual improvement make him a definite coach to keep an eye on. Coaching a 17 game old skaven team to a Premiership contender with a positive 37 casualty difference speaks for itself. Keep an eye on this guy!



SWL's Most Valuable Player:
Image
Awarded to the best player on any team throughout the course of a season. As far as individual players are concerned this is the greatest honour they can receive in the SWL.

The winner of the SWL's Most Valuable Player

Cam Smith
Wow! What a Season! 13 casualties in 7 games. He must have been playing lots of wood elves and halflings you say... 3 casualties vs Dwarves, 5 vs Undead, 3 vs Humans, 1 vs High Elves and 1 vs Chaos, don't see any AV7 there. Cam Smith was the standout of the entire SWL this season.



The Duke Snakefield Medal:

Only three players, two teams and one coach maximum may be selected for the Hall of Fame each season. Previous nominations will carry over to the next season for possible selection.

What a zombie! 157 games, 36 casualties, 1 pass, 1 td, 11 MVP's, a record setting 925 blocks, 131 spp. Eth'el's strength and skill is unheard of for a zombie, surviving a record 157 games in the afterlife.


Duskwind Strongarm:
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=player&player_id=2415328
A strength 4, agility 5 dark elf thrower who made the record equalling 79 completions for a 336 total passing yards, also a record equalling feat with a separate player. In the normally unfriendly throwing environment of SWL, Duskwind Strongarm is the best, leading his team to a Premiership title on the way.


Xies-ler-aym:
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=player&player_id=1147042
109 games as an agility 4 skink, this player was a star. 186 SPP including 38 touchdowns, he is 4th on the all time rushing list, 6th in touchdowns, and 7th in total SPP. Most notably, he was known for his ability to support the team and guide them to victory with a certain grace that lead to the development of a team capable of taking the title.




Teams:

Slumbering Skink
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=30941
257 games in the SWL, more than any other team and a record equalling three Premiership titles. When one thinks of SWL, they think of Slumbering Skink. A coach doesn't count till they've played the skinks. Producing some of the greatest games and rivalries in the SWL, HOF status is very well deserved.


Zen Adepts
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=23941
The first (and still to this day only one of two) team to get three Premiership titles as well as a host of other accolades. With 75/39/42 record against some of the toughest teams in SWL, one can only imagine what that might look like if they were still playing to this day.



Coach:

Snorri
His contributions to the SWL as a player, administrator and strategist are unrivalled. When a new coach joins SWL, Snorri is the benchmark, its as simple as that. Winning 4 titles with three separate teams it is clear that Snorri is among the top handful of coaches to ever grace the SWL. Hanging up the boots as of the end of this season, it is a fitting time to recognise Snorri's contribution with induction to the SWL Hall of Fame, he will be missed.

*Crikey* *crikey* squealed a couple of skinks as Border Prince Billie kicked his way through the masses waiting to get off the Old World Shipment Inc transport barge arriving at the Coal Coast that morning.

Following a mediocre 4th place finish in season 34, the Initiative was left in a state of indifference and lethargy. Several players went off to follow other endeavors. The wolves started roaming the coal coast again, while some of the northerners--like Billie--had returned home to their former underground resting places in Old World. The golems where left motionless in the Laboratory Dome dugout.

But now, something was again happening at the Coal Coast lab...

Close to 4 seasons had passed when captain Billie received word. On holiday in Estalia at the time, working up a sexy pale, a skaven runner discretely delivered a simple looking parchment.

D.I. Exec. div. wrote:
SWL Season XXXIX will inaugurate with Dhingo Initiative concurrence. Establish yourself within the confines of D.I. Coal Coast Central Laboratory afore Secondary Draft 0hr.


Being team captain, Billie was not one to waste time, and promptly embarked for the Southern Wastes.

Now, disembarking weeks later, the familiar smell of putrid lagoon water found its way through the hole in his face where his nose had once been. Making his way through the dockside streets, the dirty red sand of the Southern Wastes was already starting to stick to his rags.

In the following weeks the other DI players would arrive. The golemns would be re-initiated, and the wolves would have to be rounded up from the foothills.

Billie adjusted his rusty crown and frowned. The D.I. reunion was imminent.
