nice guess! I'll keep that in the back pocket should I ever get this excessively salty over nicknames again, but not right this time.

I dont think the big Koala is exclusively an edge, is he? Probably just plays middle mins like siro/etc had been

Anyone remember his previous bench stint? 2 points in 18 minutes suggests an edge stint

Smelly, Bear, Doggy

Balrog, Ally, Stalker, Dragon Ball,
Bone, Fresh, Port-a-Potty, Whole-grain

196k in the bank, thanks all!

I'll be looking at bringing Skid Marks in next week for Fresh

MTB's interchange timeline for that game shows he subbed on for Knight but there was double substitution at time so probably was put on edge

Junior Paulo would make a great Mr Popo

i didn't know what it meant for years aha. didn't occur to me to have a sook about it though

One of the older Sportal guys would be able to confirm but I think its because one of the older Broncos fans claimed he'd take over Cam Smith's spot as both starting hooker and captain of Australia in a few years.

Was it McFlogchops?

Nah, Floggy was a Sharks supporter wasn’t he? Although he spent more time in the Broncos thread than the Sharks one looking for a bite

I actually thought it was Hench who seriously suggested McCullough would Captain Australia one day. Could be wrong though and apologies in advance to Henchy as he still reads the Forum

The fuck... I just had to double check if I was in the right thread just now.

Just because i copped a few stray shots to the head last night let me check FAC = 'Future Australian Captain' = McCullough

Spot on

Willie, Dragon Ball, left

figured Willie would be one of the easier ones for a bunch of rugby league heads, the other might be more a problem with the player being obscure from a fantasy relevance point-of-view more-so than the nicknames being obscure

scratch out whole-grain - ST hit Oates below.

Willie = Tommy Talau based off his dad Willie?

WHERE ARE THE HOOKERS?
'Round back... of the play the ball, providing excellent distribution to their team

AKA trying to guess what Ben Hunt scores going forward?

Dragons hookers average
McInnes R3-4 (before Hunt on bench): 86
Hunt R9-10 (80 minutes): 74.5

Not very sustainable, but very encouraging

Other high-minute hookers (60+ mins) averages since R3
Cook - 75.5 - wow, why is MS captaining Haas?
Grant - 66.7
CS9 - 66.6
Robson - 66.4 R5-9, 60 all starts incl R10 51 mins
McCullough - 65.6
Koro - 59.8
Friend - 50.1, 53.4 excluding injury game
Mahoney - 49.9 - much better real life player than fantasy player IMO, very underrated

Turpin - 62 R3 only

Conclusion that I probably could've reached without the "research":
If you play decent minutes and aren't a Brailey you're putting up keeper scores as a hooker. Hunt priced about 53 this week - will definitely kick and probably run more than Friend who has a 53 average too. So should be "value", provided he keeps this role. The risk is he does not. If an injury shifts him to the halves, then he is still an ok pickup. If the Dragons shake it up again and he's back to the bench, you'll need to get him out.

Is in the English version. Google reckons the boxer is called M.Bison in the Japanese version and the spanish mask/knives dude is Bison, but Vega in the US/English version.

Had no idea they made it so confusing.

I recently watched the 90s live action movie. Its terrible but hilarious. Worth a watch haha.

off-topic video game trivia: they swapped names around because in Japan, M.Bison was the name of the boxer, based on Mike Tyson, Capcom didn't wanna get sued by Tyson for likeness when it was released in the west, so the boss called Vega became M.Bison, Balrog was renamed to Vega, and M.Bison renamed to Balrog.

Played the game on Sega Mega Drive for years and never knew this. I'm baffled.

Also random question, but does Harry Grant remind anyone else of Richie McCaw? Everytime I see Harry run, walk, tackle just reminds me of Richie

Can harry grant fly a helicopter?

can someone please make a sticky thread for nicknames

MTB going to have a field day entering all this nicknames into his site

I think they changed the names in street fighter for the western world because m.byson is a rip off of M tyson

one left! though it seems like the push-back is starting and i don't think the last one will be solved without heavy hints so:

Dragon Ball = Dragon Ball Kai = Kai O'Donnell

might've come off a little more heated than intended this morning, but it's just my opinion that a) not everyone needs a nickname and b) nicknames are supposed to make things easier, not more difficult, a public discussion in a public discussion thread flows easier when it's easy to understand for everyone and logic puzzles aren't needed just to figure out who is being talked about.

nrl.com latest says Mitch Aubusson starts in the back row for Angus Crichton, who is out for up to a month with a knee injury.
