Everybody wants to be Ellery Hanley
A little later in the day than usual. In the spirit of cross-codeism carried from the Monday Quiz, here's a cross coder kicking a goal in that kicking sport of Union. (click for a larger image)
Last week we did of course have Billy Slater of the Melbourne Storm (image from http://www1.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/NRL+Rd+2+Broncos+v+Storm+NjZXPfrH9YCl.jpg)
Monday Mastermind Quiz XXIV – The Union Quiz
It's Monday, it's quiz time. This week with Gareth Thomas making the switch from Union we're going to have some league/union based questions to test you.
1. Which cross code player's CV is this?
(1989 – 2002)
Bridgend FC – Widnes – Manly Sea Eagles – Sale FC – Bridgend FC
2. Who's this lovely a chap? A from Welsh Rugby Union international and Wigan player.
3. Name the two teams in this 1996 cross code game.
4. What year did Rugby Union turn professional?
5. What year did London Broncos move to share a ground and name with Harlequins Rugby Union?
6. Plenty of players have stepped across the League/Union divide but what other footballing code have top level rugby league players converted to?
(a little cryptic, but this means players who have converted from the top flight of league to the top flight of another footballing code. I'm sure there's plenty of ex-players playing Sunday League in various other games but they don't count)
Right chaps and chapettes 7 points up for grabs, scores in the comments!
Everybody wants to be Ellery Hanley
See not a Leeds player this week, not even British and in spite of Ellery's head proving too big to fit on the photo I've done some magic and sorted it out. So who wants to be Ellery Hanley this week? (you can click it for a larger picture)
Last weeks answer was of course Rob Burrow

Monday Mastermind Quiz XXIII – Melbourne Storm
As the reason for this going up late (but still on Monday) is due to the Storm beating Leeds in the World Club Challenge game I thought why not do a quiz themed on the new World club champions.
1. Who's playing CV?
(1999 – present)
Canberra Raiders – Sydney Roosters – Parramata Eels – Melbourne Storm
2. Who's this?
(click to see a bigger picture – and a clue he was named captain of the Storm's team of the decade)
No name the teams this week
3. How many premierships have the Storm won?
4. What year were the Melbourne Storm founded?
5. What are the two the most popular sports in the city of Melbourne?
6. Including their new home at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium how many grounds have the Storm used as home stadia? (Point if you can name each)
Everybody wants to be Ellery Hanley
Welcome back to our mid week feature where I Photoshop an oversized picture of Ellery Hanley's face onto some unsuspecting rugby player and ask you who it is. Post your answers / wild guesses in the comments!
(I promise next weeks won't be a Leeds player)
For those who didn't get last weeks it was of course Aussie legend Darren Lockyer.

Monday Mastermind Quiz XXII – The World Club Challenge edition
Quite simple this is the quiz before the world club challenge so it's all about the world club challenge. Post your scores in the comments ladies and gents.
1. Who's playing CV? (1997 – 2006)
Hull FC – Gold Coast Chargers – Melbourne Storm – Leeds Rhinos – Bradford Bulls
A bonus point if you can tell me why he's in the world club challenge quiz.
2. Who's this? (This is from 2004 when Bradford beat Penrith)
3. Name the teams (as usual 1 point for each)

4. 3 teams have made the final and never lost, a point for each.
5. How many times has the game been played outside of the UK?
6. How about a point for each ground it's been played at outside the UK. (you can still have a point if you only get the city)
14 points on offer and if you do your maths you can work out the answer to number 5 from that.
How did you find it? Post your scores in the comments.
