“The Machine were unstoppable tonight, everything went perfectly, hardly any droped catches and no double skulls all night.
Rage on the other hand were VERY hungry tonight and the constant burning of rerolls was taking its toll. The Machine also made a huge impact on the KO box during the first half and retrieved the ball from the slippery Vampires in their backfield, allowing a counter-attacking score just before halftime by the lineorc Wellynose Werbosh.

In the second half the Orcs were quickly on the offensive and this time were getting casualties instead of KO's. This weakening of the rage, enabled Smelly Sausage to score with his trademark blistering pace. From the restart the Rage again were struggling and the Orcs were able to retrieve the ball in a bloody mele near the LOS and Smelly Sausage ran in the third TD of the night.

All in all the strength of the first 11 is extremly threatening with 5 players with STR4 or 5 and further 4 positionals with Block & Guard / MB or extra pace. This means that sides like the Vampires with no AG4 or low armour do struggle to stay in the game against the Machine.

Hard luck Glamdryn, but roll on the Machine...straight into the final :D”
