Input needed: Rugby Caricatures

[Moses]

Here's the last sketch that muppet did: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/art-backs-dozen/

 

[Brumbies Guy]

James Horwill with his eye from the France game looking like the Rocky scene saying “you got to cut me Mick”
Matt Giteau being given the number 12 jumper pregame at Toulon change rooms with a dirty look on his face saying “I said 10, am I speaking a different language over here or something!”
Berrick Barnes in Waratah pale blue skivvy ala The Wiggles being told "wake up Berrick!"... or Taf
James O’Connor being mistaken for Justin Bieber while getting interviewed
Will Genia as Raphael – the Red ninja turtle
Quade Cooper tweeting mid game “what you think tweeps, cross field kick or flick pass next play? #RedsvsCrusadersFinal”
Digby Ioane break dancing at training saying to Ewen "I thought you told the backs and forwards to break off?"

Some good suggestions on here. :thumb

Why not a calendar? A dozen gags!

Instead of the whole twenty plus squad on the one poster, have one, three or five on each with room for some dialogue. I won't suggest the old Larry Pickering approach (hehe, it might've suited old-skool rugby thirty years ago) but it does go gangbusters for sales.

 

[Moses]

Calendar would be awesome, especially if we mark up rugby dates on the bottom half, cartoons on the top and sell them...

Sharpie - "Another f***in' 1 point loss! Oops, can I say f*** here?"
Rocky - "What's the country code for Ireland again?"
Ben Alexander - " Is running on the wing considered a set piece?"

 

[Alex-A]

Luke Burgess..... " Passing's over-rated "

 

[bryce]

Rocky Elsom : Rocky carrying the ball and a few of the other players, open, in support, yelling out 'Go yourself Rocky!!'


Is it just me or does the bloke hate passing the ball? Especially when there are unmarked players around him. I remember sarcastically yelling that at the TV while watching games last season. I'm sure there were a few butchered tries, or at least lost yards, because of it.

Will Genia: "Outstanding effort from the boys, we stuck to the game plan and it definitely paid dividends".

Quade has to be sending a tweet.

Also: the boys just played the full 80, hung on and dug deep. Full credit to the boys

Ditto, with Ryan Cross.

 

[Langthorne]

Maybe try to incorporate aspects of their nicknames into the caricatures eg Sookface, White Orc, The Fuse, Bam Bam, Gilbert, Fat Cat etc

 

[Utility Back]

How bout matt dunning in a cape about to launch into the air after richie McCaws yellow against the force...when pigs fly...geddit?

or something to that extent.

 

[muppet]

These are all gold, nice work! No pressure [GULP!]

 

[muppet]

Maybe these predate my discovery of G&GR but can you please explain "The Fuse", "Sookface", "Squeeky" and "Smoo"?

 

[cyclopath]

Al Baxter - The Fuse - apparently when pushed too far, he actually fires up considerably; Berrick Barnes - Sookface - just watch him in any game and you will see; Stephen Moore - Squeaky - I really have no idea; Drew Mitchell - Schmoo Mitchell - not really sure where it came from, but it fits.

 

[Reddy!]

Isn't Schmoo a play on shampoo?

 

[Alex-A]

is this the shampoo reference???
or is it

Maybee it outdates me too??

 

[Newb]

Isn't Schmoo a play on shampoo?

think so. back before the shaved his head and was keeping the hair product industry in scotch and sirloins. i hear it's been hard times.

Baxter explained Le Fuse on the podcast didn't he? Something to do with a made up story to the French press during 07 WC.
