NRL Rugby League 3 on Nerdstation

League Blog has just been informed that NRL Rugby League 3 has just been released on nerd systems around the world. Giving a free plug, LB was a big fan of NRL RL2, which allowed great moves such as pass left (L1), pass right (R1), speed up (X), side step (Y), and kick (I could never figure out which button did this, so my halfback (Daniel Holdsworth) would kick at random times to random places - much like real life).

However, we are assured that Rugby League 3 has a much wider array of moves for the nerdy league fans. A bit of research has come up with the following:

Chicken Wing - X, X, -->, Y. Toggle stick left and right rapidly to rip tendons.
Prowler - (L1) + O, Y, -->, -->. Also can hit --> -->, (up) to do a prowling high shot.
Grapple - mash all buttons together and toggle left and right.
Eye Gouge - hit X, X, <--, --> after a grapple
Gallen Wheels Grab - O, O <--, --> after a grapple

We note that there are a number of player specific moves too.

Inglis - X, X, X, X, --> will give the ol' don't argue.
Matai - Any button on defence will result in Matai giving a high shot.
Nate Myles - (L2), O, O... I recommend that you not try this one.
And finally, reminiscent of the fatality moves in Mortal Kombat, Brett Stewart. Try X, X --> X, Y if Manly wins a match.



Enjoy.

Note, if you discover any different player specific codes, feel free to post them in comments.

  1. You had me lolling until the mention of Brett Stewart, when I went strangely quiet. Luckily Manly has about 24 internationals* so they should be able to cover his loss.


    *Includes players who have repped for such powerhouse league nations as Scotland, Tonga, Belarus and the Indigenous Allstars.

  2. This half of League Blog would first note that the main problem of the game is it's out of scale. If you look at the screenshot, the ball is bigger than about half a dozen players together. If you ask me this reeks of an inside job from NRL, softening up the viewing public for a rule change in 2011. Probably the best improvement over RL2 is the ability to hold back players for disciplinary reasons, which adds a level of realism other sports simply can't compete with.
