Description:

The WRL, or World Rugby League, is a rugby league simulation game I've
been working on for a while and it is now ready to open. It's completely
different to every other RLM on the web as results are generated by an
Excel based RL simulator called Quick Play Rugby League or QPRL.

The basics are the same:

- Players take on the role of a rugby league coach and must select a team
each week and choose their tactics
- You can get involved with negotiating contracts and transfers as well as
developing young talent
- You can interact with the media and post rumours, match previews and
player interviews etc.

However the game doesn't rely on lengthy tactics or endless media postings
to determine the outcome of matches. Each player has an attack and defence
rating that contribute to a team rating. The simulator takes this team
rating, your chosen tactics and standard of your media postings into
account when generating the result.

The game doesn't feature real life teams - it's one of your jobs to create
your own RL franchise from any where in the world. We have two on board at
the moment and I'm hopeful of getting at least ten on board soon so we can
start our first season. You are also responsible for managing finances,
choosing a stadium and setting up your reserve grade or academy team.

The player database features all SL and NRL players (over 730 in total)
and there is room for expansion in future should you wish to bring in
promising juniors or rugby union converts  . At the end of each season a
players ratings are reviewed in line with his real life performances so
you can use your RL knowledge to stay one ahead of your rivals.
