#FRANCHISE LOOKIN FOR NEW COACH
The Ref retires as Head Coach for Oslo Trolls after Season 8, focusing on coaching the Öst Epöep Menz Clöeb in Oslo Blood Bowl League and Barboza Bruisers in Draft League Europe.

#NEW DLA LOGO CLOSE TO BECOMING SCANDALE
Trolls News first to reveal logo fail-print, almost resulting in scandale:

As the new logo was to be revealed, a crisis was just barely averted when the printers discovered their mistake. The logo was changed in time for the grand opening of the DLA (that had to be postpone for a week to give time to collect a new batch of paints).

#TROLLS TRADING GONE WILD!
It seems the Trolls trading office have gone a bit out of control, selling Draft8 1st round pick AND Peter Quinn for a meager Draft 7 2nd round pick. Trolls management explains this is to keep Tyrus Thompson from bodging any more important one turn touchdown plays, bringing in a new talented grabber, Hroniss Grasu, to do the important first block..

#ZACH ERTZ DEAD
Zach Ertz was killed by apothecary miss-treatment during a routine operation in the fourth season six game against the Hillkrest Huskies. The apothecary was treated accordingly. We welcome our new medical staff to the Trolls family!

#SPECTACULAR SHOWMANSHIP!
Cooper Taylor makes the ultimate sacrifice, chasing down the ball carrier without hesitation and fright of life or retribution, shadowing to get the ball loose and into the hands of Peter Wessel, then distracting the opponents, getting killed, to allow a spectacular Ogre touchdown! The Crowd goes wild with appreciation as this first touchdown sets of a landslide, the Trolls winning 5-1 against the Borgholm Braves!

#CHAMPIONS!
Oslo Trolls win the Season 4 Championship Final, the players getting their well earned championship rings. The Trolls entered the Playoffs as underdogs, but proved their worth as a tournament team. Sean Renfree, may he R.I.P., was key to victory, as was Kendall Wright and Louis Shureglove-Gael-Hunt McSquire.

#SEAN RENFREE DEAD!
A Bounty is set on the perpetrator, fouling and killing Sean in the last seconds of the S4 Final, with the Trolls manager offering up their 4th pick* in Draft 6 as reward.


#MENTIONED IN THE RATMAN GAZETTE!
The AnBBL bookie is taking bets on our placement, exiting news!

Trolls Hall of Fame:
Zach Ertz was killed by apothecary miss-treatment during a routine operation in the fourth season six game against the Hillkrest Huskies. Zach was an excellent allrounder, playing both outside linebacker and running back, his superior skills contributing greatly to the Trolls Season 4 Champions Title. Also, Zach taught by example, developing the "Stopp a stall" play for our playbook: pushing stallers into our endzone to gain more time for our offence to score a TD.

Sean Renfree was fouled and killed by B.J.Daniels as the last seconds ran out in the Season 4 Finals. His fine skills as the team QB was essential to the season 4 playbook and in securing the Championship. He will be missed sorely in season 5. R.I.P.
