Oedema was brought into the H.H. after the first Rotter to show real skill, Abscess, was killed by the Khemri team 'Suns of Sandwashed Bone'. Oedema has some big, if slightly dead, shoes to fill.

Blister scored H.H.'s first ever touchdown - in the final play of their first match when they played Orc team the 'League of Representatives'. It was a miracle catch under pressure from a towering Black Orc, followed by a dodge that would make a Wardancer blush.

Unfortunately Blister's second game was a painful affair - after demonstrating elven agility he has decided to show elven toughness. He was stunned on 3 different occasions.

At the end of the 4th round of the inaugural O.L.C. Chickenpox holds the hideously unimpressive title of "Worst Rush Yards" by actually managing to send the ball BACKWARDS more than it goes forward. A strategy meeting has been called.

Chickenpox gained the T.T.H.L. award for being one of only four H.H. players left on the pitch during the second half against Khemri squad 'Suns of Sandwashed Bone'

CHickenpox killed High Elf Blitzer Lowbull, who had just retired Dysentry, and was about to score a touchdown. One on one blitz, 2 GFIs, needed TRR on the blitz. Converted into Rotter.

Pneumonia had been playing it quiet a few games, but at the start of the 3-game BST series against 'Boys Brigade' he showed his mettle. His wrestling was instrumental in winning the opening game of the series against the block-skill-heavy Human side.

A new recruit from 'Boy's Brigade' during the first match of the 3 game BST series. Thomas was exchanged for former Rotter Quincy whose murder at the the hands of...Hands, was merely a temporary set back.

Unless Thomas shows some promise he will go the way of former new recruit Lowbull.

Influenza had his collar bone turned into a rich creamy pulp on his first game for H.H. by a linesman on Orc team 'League of Representatives'. Thankfully grand daddy Nurgle had pity on this little Pestigor and healed him right up.

Influenza showed his ability to make good on this faith from his god by scoring the second ever touchdown of H.H. against Slaan side 'Jack's Jumpers'. Unfortunately this score merely softened the score to a final 2-1 but it at least kept H.H. above 'Jack's Jumpers' in the league table.

Influenza has maintained his scoring ways, becoming the first player in the H.H. to score two touchdowns...ever! His second score came against Skaven team 'Warpfire Cheese'. He keeps telling his team that they can't just spend the game hugging the opposition and it seems like a couple of folks are catching on. To help the others along in recognising the spherical object known as "the ball", Influenza has been developing sure hands for picking the ball up safely.

Influenza continued his quest to show his team mates the importance of playing Blood Bowl properly - this time by demonstrating his physical might! He fractured the arm of Skeleton linesman Icelandite of 'Suns of Sandwashed Bone' while charging up the pitch with the ball in his sure hands. Icelandite regenerated this injury, but it was nonetheless a powerful demonstration. However Influenza was determined to keep up his reputation as a skilful player and managed two completed passes during the game also. There is concern that Influenza may have been watching too many elf games as his constitution during this match was awful - managing to get knocked out in both the first and second half.

After a dry spell of scoring, Influenza finally came back into his own against 'Boy's Brigade' in the opening game "Blood" of the 3 match series. Two touchdowns helped steer his side to victory. This has led him to increase his defensive and offensive blocking skills, in order to keep up with team rival Measles.

Syphilis was brought in after Jaundice the Pestigor died dodging. The lesson has been learnt, and no Pestigor will ever dodge again. Ever.

KP had a tough first game against Orc side 'League of Representatives', due to all the similarly strong Black Orcs and more skilful Blitzers.

During his second game though KP was against Slaan side 'Jack's Jumpers' who proved far more...malleable. He opened his account by badly hurting newly drafted Freebooter Harold Deephawk on while defending himself from the frog-fu tackle. Once KP had a taste for his he tried to be a little more aggressive, breaking the ribs of linesfrog Pounce after the slippery Slaan scored their first touchdown.

It's official - KP HATES freebooters. Whether they're human, frog or rat. During the game against 'Warpfire Cheese' KP noticed that at the start of the game the rest of the team were hugging the opposition quite softly. KP prefers a nice big crunchy hug...and demonstrated on Freerat Martin Hideousfield, badly hurting him in the process. KP has noticed that there are some players, called "blitzers", who seem to be able to smash off his hugs with this hideous thing called "technique". KP doesn't like this. KP wants to hug all. KP will learn this "block" and will make sure he can hug even more people!

During H.H. 4th game, against Khemri side 'Suns of Sandwashed Bone', KP was determined to make use of his new found blocking talent. He opened against enemy Blitz-Ra Foidolite and proceeded to knock him out on the first turn. This made a big difference to the match and showed just how important a part of the squad KP is. This was particularly felt when during the closing moments of the 1st half KP was himself knocked out by Tomb Guardian Basalt. This proved to be a significant head injury as KP was not able to rejoin his team at the start of the second half.

Labby was a bit bullied during his first game, being repeatedly blocked black, blue and green by Orc side 'League of Representatives'. He actually ended the game badly hurt and there were worries for his future. In order to demonstrate their admiration for his masochistic bent he was awarded MVP.

Labby spent the next week in the gym, and neglected his studies of basic language like "Block" or "Move". This caused a few embarrassing incidents during H.H. second game against Slaan side 'Jack's Jumpers'. Much grass eating and nose picking was done. However in his more active moments he managed to rip a leg off one of those froggy fellows, before the team's apothecary stepped in to save the day. However with the apothecary busy Labby continued his rampage and went on to damage the back of Secure the Catcher.

Labby remains the super star of H.H., achieving star player points in every game so far. Against 'Warpfire Cheese' he flattened Gutter Runner Cheesescoop. Then he jumped on him. Then he lay on him. Then he he hugged him. The whole process left the poor little rat badly hurt and out of the game. All Labby wants is some love...

Labby had a new experience in his 4th game for H.H. when he encountered the 'Suns of Sandwashed Bone's Tomb Guardians. Finally he had encountered someone he could hug all day long...yet all these nasty things seemed to want to do was hurt him! Labby gave one of them, Diorite, a little warning push, and ended up knocking out the big bully. After watching so many of his friends get knocked out by the nasty Khemri team, Labby decided to stop holding back. He badly hurt Skeleton linesman Lamprophyre, who had that nasty "block" skill that people keep warning Labby about. This continued Labby's streak of furthering his skill in every game played so far! For the first time since his encounter with the Orcs of the 'League of Repesentatives' Labby tasted his own blood - becoming badly hurt by Tomb Guardian Carbonatite.

Labby had a strong game against Human side 'Boy's Brigade' at the opener of the 3-match series. Despite an early stumble which led to a touchdown, he kept his stupidity in check for most of the game and managed a solid casualty. This has enabled him to "upgrade" his tentacles so that when he hugs friends, he can chose where he puts them. So his friends can stay near him forever.

Measles threw a truly brilliant pass during his first game for H.H., providing a potentially touchdown occurring moment to give H.H. scoring potential to make up the 2-0 deficit. However so impressed was the Rotter who caught the scoring pass...that he forgot to run. Making the score impossible and ruining any hope the H.H. had of scoring. Live and learn.

Measles has realised that if you want anyone to listen to you on this team you need to stop throwing your balls at them and start hugging folk. So Measles began his hugging account against Skaven team 'Warpfire Cheese' with the unfortunate linerat Feta. Measles forgot the important lesson of not hugging with horns - and left the little rat badly hurt.

Measles gained the T.T.H.L. award for being one of only four H.H. players left on the pitch during the second half against Khemri squad 'Suns of Sandwashed Bone'

Measles continues to lead the way with H.H., maintaining solid play during a series of "friendlies" against various teams, before making an authoritive start to the 3-game series against 'Boy's Brigade'. His agile skills and blocking dependability saw him secure a touchdown and lead the cage formation with great skill. His only real rival on the squad is Influenza, and now that Influ can block, things may get a lot more interesting.

Norovirus really showed his potential when he seriously concussed Shorthair High Elf Linesman in 'Riverrun Rapids.'

Since then he has risen in the squad, and despite coming in later than his superior K.P., he is now the undisputed leader of the defence. Thanks to the brutal murder, sorry, "recruiting", of Thomas "the Engine" in the opening game of the BST series against 'Boy's Brigade', Norovirus has sprouted claws. He assures the coach this will not affect his handling skills (since he never held the ball anyway), and he is keen to hug some of the more heavily armoured members of 'Boy's Brigade'...
