Re-posted from the Great Tin Gates Thread (the plan is to add more fluff as the gobbos progress through Tin season 11 - just wanted to collect it all in one place)
"But they've played a WHOLE SEASON before!", said the irate official, tapping furiously at the rules on the noticeboard. "See? Fresh teams only"
"Aw, c'mon ref, that was cripple cup. Half the team didn't even make it out alive", said Comfort, trying hard to defend his poor lil gobbo squad. "Look - we're still under 1000tv. And what about that whole expensive promotion campaign about cultural diversity in the league. I noticed you even removed the 'You must be THIS tall to enter' sign back at the gate. You aren't a racist are you?"
"The rules are the rules. Thats that", refused the paperpusher.
"What if we make it interesting", tried Comfort, with a wink - looking for another angle. The ref eyed the bulging sack of coin on Comfort's belt that just happened to jangle in time with the definitely incidental winking. Pause. "Or we make it real interesting", threatened Comfort softly, as he nodded to the massive troll on the squad who just also happened to crack his skull-sized knuckles, clenching and unclenching his fist.
"W-w-wait a second. I just work here...", stammered the clerk. "Boss?"
"Got trouble?", interrupted Hudd, just in time. "What seems to be the problem?"
"G'day Chief", smiled Comfort, "No problems ere... just back from a season off. Starting fresh in Tin. Gobbos - see?".
The clerk insisted, "But his team - they've played -"
"Welcome back to Tin", interrupted Hudd. He gave his clerk a firm stare, and shot a knowing smile Comfort's way. "I'll sign the paperwork myself".
"Thanks boss", smiled Comfort, shouldering past the clerk. "C'mon in boys", he waved to his team, "Lets murder some fools".
Nuffle Incarnate once again grace the ichor stained arenas of Iron Phoenix (having contributed more than their fair share of ichor themselves in their debut cripple cup season). One of the trolls wears a sandwich board warning all would-be opponents: Punching Nuffle's Nuts is a bad idea. That particular troll is registered on the team sheet as "Nuffle's Left Nut". Go figure.
