hoping to capitalise on the tremendous talent of veteran lineorc gobstomp, as well as new talent blitzer, Brayn Dasha, Pain State! management picked up a thrower in a recent recruiting drive to Da Painsylvania State Ooniversity.

After a long spell of insufficient funds, the team finally scrapped together enough funds to replace a Bob that had really disappointed the coaching staff. Hopefully Beja will get stuck in quickly and skill up to heroic proportions....or at least not screw things up too much as a rookie.

Stormbringa has been pretty much a sissy, averaging just less than 1 SPP per match is lame and Da_Todfatha expects better. time will tell if this brute will end up at the top of his game, or sleeping wif da fishes.

Well nothing works better to get back in the boss's good graces like a breakout game against an Arch-rival. New Dark Water Gypsies paid Sotrmbringer's way, as he caused 2 casualties in this match. Delicious.

Sadly, this Black Orc has been struggling to learn the art of hurting people, to the total disgust of the coaching staff. He can often be seen prancing around the field in his slippers offering to help his teammates, it is disgusting.

The last remaining player from the original team to start Pain State! Sta Doon has inspired many young grots to aspire to play Bloodbowl for the MegaCorp that the Pain State network has become.

Sta Doon has taken the team's recent lack of performance personally and has been seen hitting the weightroom extra hard. His discipline has paid off as he has been compared to several Ogres in the league.

His true passion, however, is still taking candy from babies.

Gobstomp has become the largest TD threat available to Pain State! His elvenlike agility and leaping ability has caught many opponents by surprise as well as making gobstomp a top priority of elven hired hitmen. With the retirement of Chuk Da Rok, Gobstomp has become the primary ball retriever and he coordinates the offense.

Gobstomp scored TD # 21 in a 2-2 match vs. the Shadowcity Sabres, this put him as the top scoring active orc lineman. WOOT!

Nobcrunch is a good player. he brings leadership in the basics. He also adds a unique angle to using the boot on the kickoff instead of the foul.

Wotzdiz is a relatively new member to Pain State! in his first match he scored 2 TD's and during that match vs. a Wood elf squad, perhaps the best group of wood elves, startrek.nl he learned how to tackle the dodgey little blighters. He's done relatively little since that match.

Brayn Dasha has not yet developed into his namesake. Currently he is a well rounded player, but hopefully soon he will become the blood-crazed killer the coaching staff would so like to see.

Brayn's talents seem to lie somewhere else as, although he hits hard, he has begun to display some deft footwork, perhaps allowing the Pain State! coaches to employ some slightly less 'direct' tactics.

Due to recent retirements, Gimme has become one of the top tacklers, and general stompy good players on this squad. He can be depended on to hit hard, and ask questions later.

The newer players look up to Gimme for inspiration and leadership. A position he has been well-groomed for.

Another Blitzer to develop in an interesting way for the Pain State! coaching staff. Nekgash is a bit of a speedy git, and surefooted as a mountain squig. We will see if he can become something truly unique or if his career will be short-lived.

Skummsukkin Agony has just not developed the way the coaching staff would have liked. He has at least developed to the point where he is no longer a liability, however, his ordinariness is simply lackluster. He has begun to show some frustration on the field by developing a habit of jumping up and down on an opponent after he knocks them to the ground.

He recently caused 2 casualties vs. the New Dark Water Gypsies and gained a useful tactic of smashing more than one opponent at a time. We will see where this leads his development, as well as his usefulness to the team.
