For a time, Coach Derek was the prime challenger to Coach Chia for the zero rating trophy.  These days he is so lowly rated that his name barely gets mentioned for such a prestigious trophy.

The Buddhas have been a nomadic club, basing operations from such places as Broome, Port Hedland, Tom Price and Perth, before their current relocation to Melbourne.  

In the earlier years, this side was known as "Atmospheric Derek", before their coach grow into the Buddha role.

Coach Chia also made history by becoming the first person to defeat Coach Cake in an ice cream skulling title race.  He claims to retain the ice cream skulling title and refuses to acknowledge Coach Jorgensen's victory in the 2009 gourmet ice cream skulling slop fest.

The Farmer's have been slowly reinventing themselves as BMRWFC contenders in recent times.  2008 was a breakthrough year, which saw the Farmer's play off in the grand final but fall agonisingly short.

Coach Fry's most famous off field moment came when he crashed spectacularly in the 2009 Olympic Steeplechase, prompting him to consider a visit to the emergency ward for a tetanus shot.

In more recent years the Jazz have fallen on harder times and how their bark is worse than their bite.  So dramatic has been their fall from grace that Coach Garry now currently holds the Zero Rating Trophy.  He became a multiple winner of this illustrious title when Coach Chia sealed his fate by declaring that "you need to spend some time with the trophy to come to truly understand it".

The Jazz are one team that has broken international frontiers for the BMRWFC, having spent several years based from Houston and infamously drafting from a Korean library.

Few people command a microphone like Garry at the Golden Swan Karaoke Restaurant, and his refusal to yield the floor almost caused a fight at the 2004 wind-up.

In more recent times Coach Jorgo has found an edge over his fellow competitors in the Olympic competition, prompting him to declare that "others succeed in fantasy, I win in reality".

The club is subject to regular rebranding attempts and in 2008 accepted their current moniker.

After a history of achieving very little (much like New Zealand in general), expectations are high for Coach Toomath, and he will be keen for an improved showing.  But concern is growing about his "all the eggs in the one basket" coaching philosophy, with a heavy emphasis on recruiting Eagles players.

True to form, Coach Johnno make a sensational debut at the 2005 BMRWFC windup, when his brought his trademark "tsunami" skulling technique to the table.

Over the years Coach Trev has struggled to shake the title of All Time Ratings Loser.  In 2008 the Truck's comprehensively won their second wooden spoon, joining the Craakers and the Pavs as the only current franchises to have earnt themselves a salad set.

The Trucks have been notorious for suspect drafting practices, including his refusal to draft anyone in 2005 until all position changes were known and for famously selected the wrong O'hAilpin.

The Trucks derive their name from Trev's high school nickname, and have retained it from inception, although the club unsuccessfully applied for a change to "Trev's Titans" in 2003.

Since his introduction to the competition, Coach Riemann has been in and out of the finals like a yo-yo.  There is a much stronger need for consistency in performance from the Giants, otherwise they might just go the way of their sister team, the Stickmen, in settling permanently near the bottom of the table.

Little is known about Coach Riemann and he maintains an aura of mystique, much like Kenny from South Park.  Indeed he was only confirmed to exist in 2007 when the first sighting of him was confirmed by Davo and Frank whilst on a Sasquatch expedition in Melbourne.
