Common questions
How does the premiership quiz work?
Pick a year. You get three minutes to type the names of every player in that year's premiership side, with each player's games and seasons for the club as a hint. Turn on "No hints" for the hard version, or give up to see who you missed.
Which premierships are there?
Every one from 1990 to 2026: 37 quizzes, one per grand final. In 2010 the side is the one that won the replay.
Who counts as a premiership player?
Anyone named in the winning grand final side, the substitute included from 2021. Players on the list who did not play in the grand final are not counted.
How up to date is it?
