“Elite SMACK round 2.

The Rats brought Headsplitter, so da Tribe brought both Ripper and Nobbla. Handicap against was Greatest.

The Rats received first, and placed the ball on their natural one-turner (MA11), who ran with it. But with the RR spent, he stopped short of the end zone, and within range of a Tribe tackler! Headsplitter was marking that tackler, but da Tribe pushed the RO star away and blitzed the ball free! This didn't matter very much though, after a brief scuffle the Rats emerged with the ball and scored 0-1 anyway. Skaven ninja recovery! :-)

Da Tribe had some trouble on our drive, failing the first pickup and allowing some (difficult) blitzes on the ball carrier. The ball remained in Orc hands however, and da Tribe could bash through for 1-1 at half-time. Headsplitter killed Nobbla towards the end of the half.

2nd half was easier for da Tribe, the ball was better secured and was never really threatened after the first pickup. Da Tribe stalled and bashed through for 2-1 in T16, trying to injure that MA11 GR in the process. He lived, but ulimately failed his T16 dodges to take the game to OT. Perhaps this was for the best, as the rats were pretty badly outnumbered towards the end and would have suffered even more in OT.

EDIT: Tuga was very unlucky at times, failing a lot of simple rolls and generally having a hard time, but kept his spririt up. Good show that.

GG Tuga, see you around.
