A good database of players and teams, backed up by various competitions to unlock gave the game a continually playable feel. Sure the graphics could be improved, but who cares it's Rugby League and it's a brilliant attempt at a first Rugby League game on a next generation console. On the game, all teams have their 2003 rosters, so this guide will tackle the task of updating the SUPERLEAGUE rosters so they match those of the current season in 2004. This will involve taking advantage of the Game Customisation and Customise Teams feature. First, all the transfers will be made and then listed will be the NEW starting line up. Hang on you say. You cannot change the starting line up unless you're that team. Wrong. All you do on Game Customisation Customise Teams is unregister all the players of that team so the column on the right is empty. All those players will now be at the bottom of the left list (so you don't have to search through the whole database for them) and then you reregister them in the order you want them to be in position! Don't worry Ill explain more throughout this guide. ------------------ 2.0 TRANSFERS ------------------ Firstly though, I'd advise doing all the transfers first because when you are getting the correct starting line up you don't want to be searching through the whole database for one player. For the transfers, all you do is search the database on the left for the playing coming IN and press x when you find him, and he will be added at the bottom of the team list on the right. For players OUT, just go to the team list on the right, find the outgoing player and press x and he will join the database on the left. So, here is a list of transfers for each team. Bradford Bulls In: Toa Kohe-Love, Logan Swann. Out: Scott Naylor, James Lowes, Daniel Gartner, Mike Forshaw, Lee Gilmour, Chris Bridge. Castleford Tigers In: Ryan Sheridan, Luke Robinson, Sean Rudder, Sean Ryan, Craig Greenhill, Ryan Clayton. Out: Danny Orr, Mitch Healey, Wayne Bartrim, Andy Johnson, Michael Eager, Mark Lennon, Dale Fritz. Halifax RLFC In: Jamie Bloem, Ryan McDonald, Phil Cantillon, Anthony Farrell. Out: Daryl Cardiss, Martin Moana, Andrew Frew, Danny Halliwell, Shayne McMenemy, Andy Hobson, Stuart Donlon. Huddersfield Giants In: Ben Roarty, Stuart Donlan, Chris Nero. Out: Matt Calland, Anthony Colella, Steve McNamara, Jeff Wittenberg, Jamie Bloem. Hull FC In: Alex Wilkinson, Richard Swain, Michael Eager, Ewan Dowws, Shayne McMenemy, Paul McNicholas, Shaun Briscoe. Out: Sean Ryan, Craig Greenhill, Toa Kohe-Love, Tony Smith, Dean Treister, Steve Craven, Scott Logan. Leeds Rhinos In: Marcus Bai, Ali Lautiiti. Out: Gary Connolly London Broncos In: Mark O'Halloran, Andy McNally, Lee Greenwood, Jon Wells, John Kirkpatrick. Out: Russell Bawden, Tony Martin, Chris Thorman, Jim Dymock, Mat Toshack. St Helens In: Lee Gilmour, Ricky Bibey, Willie Talau, Nick Fozzard. Out: Barry ward, Darren Britt, Paul Newlove, Tommy Martyn, John Kirkpatrick. Wakefield Trinity Wildcats In: Jason Demetriou, Sid Domic, Semi Tadulala, Justin Ryer. Out: Martyn Holland, Matty Wray, Ian Knott, Richard Newlove, Jon Wells, Brad Davis, Adrian Vowles. Warrington Wolves In: Daryl Cardiss, Chris Leikvoll, John Wilshere, Danny Lima. Out: Lee Penny, Rob Smyth, Mike Callan, Kevin Crouthers, Sid Domic, Nick Fozzard. Widnes Vikings In: Aaron Moule, Troy Wozniak, Andy Hobson. Out: Stuart Spruce, Jason Demetriou, Ryan Sheridan, Marvin Golden, Ryan McDonald, Andrew Isherwood, Anthony Farrell, Dean Lawford, Dan Potter, Chris Percival, Phil Cantillon, Steve Carter. Wigan Warriors In: Danny Orr. Out: Shaun Briscoe, Nick Graham, Ricky Bibey, Paul Johnson. ----------------------- 3.0 CORRECT SL LINE-UPS ----------------------- Now you have done all the transfers, you can start to get the players in the right order on the pitch. It's annoying isn't it when your playing St Helens with Sean Long (a scrum half) as centre, Paul Sculthorpe (a loose forward) at prop and Keiron Cunningham (a hooker) at stand off! Everybody though there wasn't a way to change line-ups but they were wrong! Searching around yesterday I found when you unregister a player from a team, they go to the bottom of the list on the left. So I just unregistered a whole team and they all appeared at the bottom of the left list. Then, I reregistered them in the order in which I wanted them to be in on the pitch. The order should be as follows: 1st player will be the fullback 2nd Player will be the right winger 3rd player will be the right centre 4th player will be the left centre 5th player will be the left winger 6th player will be the Stand Off 7th player will be the scrum half 8th player will be a prop forward 9th player will be the hooker 10th player will be a prop forward 11th player will be a second row forward 12th player will be a second row forward 13th player will be the loose forward The 14th,15th,16th,17th players will be the subs, and everyone entered after that will be the reserves. So now I will list the players from each team in the order they should be reregistered in so that you get the correct and perfect line-ups when you play the team, instead of the whole team being out of position. ------------------ 3.1 BRADFORD BULLS ------------------ 1.

Remember, when you are Bradford you can change the line up as you like, this is mainly for when you play them! NOTE: If a player is not on the list above, he does not play for Bradford Bulls or he is not on the game. 8.

Following this guide and a Salford Creation Guide will be a Player Creation guide which will include all SL players who are prominent in teams but don't feature on the game. Included will be Dom Feaunati (St Helens), Nicky Royle (Widnes) and Lee Sanderson (London). You also may have noticed that NRL teams aren't featured in this guide. That is because, with the help of the members of the Rugby League Forum, we are currently updating the NRL rosters but when that is completed I will make a guide for that too! Also, I will be doing guides for any teams that are requested. I am currently working on a 1982 Parramatta Eels guide which one of the forum members requested. ---------- 6.0 E-MAIL ---------- I'm not one of these people who won't respond to any questions you have.
