“A very tactical dodgy game.

My opponent made an error and let me knock the ball free using a chain push to get his ball carrier into a 2 dicer.

I made the 3+ pickup with a RR, but then got greedy and went for a 3+ pass (without RR) instead of consolidating with other players (he would have at best a 1 dice blitz) and I rolled missed the pass, sending it to a bad spot.

He was able to recover the ball, and stall out the half as he failed no rolls and even got a KO whilst I couldn't take advantage at all of my 3 MB.

I caused a MNG on a Blodge Catcher with a foul that he apothed.

T8, a chance to one turn (not easy of course) but he gets Perfect Defence...

Next half, he starts with Blitz! against 10 as I fail KO recovery roll again.

Lucky it is a deep kick, and I recover the ball to move forwards the middle, doing a foul to KO a player to make it 10 v 10.

Then it was dodge/stall ball. Both of us got one more KO to make it 9 on 9. Eventually it came down to my chance to score. Just need 2+ x3 with a Team RR up my sleeve, but I get two ones from 4 rolls and end up losing the match.
---------
Opponent played a very good game apart from his error to lose the ball. Then I made the error of pushing my luck and trying to throw the ball and ended up giving it back. Really should have just sat with it, and then he would have to do the hard work to get it back.

Second half, was pretty even cept that unlucky set of rolls on T16. Then again, I'll take the loss for some money and no FF loss instead of a RIP any day (except in a tournament maybe hehe).”
