“We started in defence, and got an early KO and BH cas giving us field position. We stole the ball and scored to take a 1-0 lead.

Then the dice went stupid on us...

First we took a Niggle on a Skull/Pow both down?, apoth fail (so 2/2/5 cas suffered by the team now, with 2 from 3 apoth failures). There goes the 4 SPP we got for the Thrower ths very game...

Then in the second half, our RR were used in two turns, with us getting a snake for our pass for SPP to end the turn. Opponent makes 4+ Sure Hands pick up and a couple dodges fine.

We start our turn with a Double Skulls trying to set up a two dice block on the ball carrier.

So instead of a likely 2-0 lead (ball would have gone on Blodger and he had no tackle) it was 1-1.

We have 4 turns to reply. Attempt to pick up the ball #1, roll a 1.

Attempt to pick up the ball #2, roll a 1.

We take another niggle (that is 2 BH, 3 niggles and 5 RIP suffered, with only 1 death saved out of that lot) taking us back to under 9 players after taking 7 games to get back to 11 - we will need another 3-4 games now to get to 11.

Finally we string together some 2+ rolls to take the ball deep for a costly 2-1 win that wasn't worth it for the destruction of my team.”
