With a number of actual pass completions, the team is a bit concerned by Ivor - he seems to know what he is doing when he goes to throw the thing.

Despite the onset of a niggling injury, Ivor is become one of the crucial players in the team, clearing the ball ... more often than not.

Although selected for his ability to outpace black orcs and other larger opponents (and team mates) Bludd'E' has yet to live up to his potential, relying instead on more agressive tactics in the line of scrimmage.

Of course, the fans are not complaining.

Although less able on his feet than his team-mates, an impressive list of achievements has proved the worth of this player.

He is also a damn fine cook, specialising in elf tartare.

Leading the CAS score at the time of writing, Foul Ol'Ron is looking to a bright future - blood red in fact.

As one of the mainstays of the Line of Scrimmage, Ron has been practicing on his responses to reporters - the coach was most upset that he was wasting his talents on off-field casualties.

Slappa's eyecatching good looks have placed him firmly in the fans good books - that and an increasing number of casualties.

The coaches only concern is that Slappa may throw the game in altogether and head off to make movies.

Biggles aerial expertise was learnt from watching elves - the tricksie things they achieved appealed to Biggle's perverted sense of injustice and he has translated this into a number of game clinching aerobics.

A firm favourite with the fans, he has been advised by the coach that as long as he continues to excvel at aerial gymnastics, the coach will ensure that none of the larger team members consider him to be a pre-game snack.
