Unlike normal clubs, the home audience were able to influence who was selected in the team each week by voting to keep their favourite players in the side.
Viewers also got to vote on many of the club's other key aspects including its name, coach, captain and song.
The show was considered trailblazing and generated a cult following, with several crowds at games featuring the Hammerheads pushing 5,000 spectators and many claiming the Hammerheads as their second favourite sporting team.
The Hammerheads attempted to have a woman, Debbie Lee, play on their team in competition games but were ultimately stopped by the league.
There were also criticisms of personal attacks by coach Rhys-Jones on players.
