Elfs is Yummee fur dinnur
Roster [X2] Orc

These guys replace my DarkElf team Menzoberranzen Maulers. They were useless, didn't maul anything at all, and a poor side, a failed experiment with all linemen Elves. Granted I gave them only 5 games but I assumed 4Ag was good for something. It is not. They might as well be 2Ag the way they handled the ball.

This is the lowest fan factor side I have had for ages, but to be honest my cash from games is usually so low, with the odd excpetion, I don't see any point in wasting much more on this team.

If they win, maybe it will improve, but for now I figure rerolls are the best way to help them along, rather than go for 2RR and higher FF.

<b>Report</b>

1st Game - vs Ogres. A troubled game, needing 3 retsarts after disconnections etc. Handicaps were great at first, ok at 2nd, and crap on the final restart. Still managed to run in 2 touchdowns each half, lack of any rerolls and block skill hurting the Ogres. Reasonable start, but it highlighted just how important FF is, with a gate of only 12k.

2nd Game - Vs Orcs. Very Bashy, the game degenerated into a brawl on the pitch, both 1st and 2nd halves, in the same place, deep in the opponents half. Opponent never really ran the ball, never got within 3 squares of the half way line with it, and my td was a break from the blocking after clearing space so I didn't have to dodge, a hand off (RR) and 1 x GFI which thankfully came off. Didn't fancy stalling as the luck score was all over the place, could have gone either way. Better crowds, but not by much. This team is skint. Gotta hope my FF improves!

3rd Game - finally concede a touchdown. By god this guys dice were loaded all game! Every block was near successful in knocking one of my guys down, and most of the tiem I was having to get people up. 1db came off just about every time, especially once to prevent me from scoring and at the end of every turn. Mine came up skulls or Block/Skull, usually for the troll, who was useless. Finally scored with a long pass, no rerolls needed, which I thought was only fair given the one sided crap all game. He had more players on the sidelines, but that was to be expeted with 7 and 8 AV, whereas one of my Blitzers was killed (and apo'd) in the first turn of the game. Glad I evened the score - to lose that game simply because of 1 sided dice would not have been fair.

4th Game: lasted 4 turns against Dark Elves. They scored a fine 2 turn TD without much hindrance from me, caught me on the hop. On the next kickoff they got a blitz - could things go much better? Alas, their luck nosedived after that. A dead lino from a block (apo'd) and another from a crowdsurf pretty much killed my opponents enthusiasm. All outta rerolls (1, and that used up in 1st turn) his next few turns were ended by skulls. I equalized in turn 4, and that was it - the DE had had enough. Sorry to see that happen. I had exactly the same thing happen with the team that preceded this one :(

5th Game: another Ogre team, this one had 1 RR but didn't really need them. I had loads of turn ending skulls, failed pick ball up, fail roll, fail fail fail. When the luck is so close and one player needs more RR to make it so (me) you know the dice have tipped you over a table. Managed to pull a draw out of the fire, stalled as the way things were going I'd have lost the game, my opponent pulling more luck out of a bottomless pit, whereas mine would have come up skulls or 1s.

6th game: Only one skill, and with it an aging niggle. Cheers. Won 3-0 against Nurgles Rotters, and seeing my CR slowly scrape up to almost noob status. Strange, I used to make a big deal out of that but most of the coaches I play are above me, I'm hoping I pass them on my way back up again :S One day, the hallowed shining light of Noob coach rating might once again be mine!

Probably lose the next 10 games :(

7th Game: 1 sided Dice ass handing by Elves, who played very well and moved so gracefully I thought I was playing against Swans with my blundering can't hurt nobody or pick the ball up or do anything idiot orcs. First loss. Am depressed. Had to happen, but the resounding nature makes it hurt a little.

8th game: lost the goblin early on, and completely ran out of ideas after that. The other team ran TD is for a laugh, even messed about with swapping the ball to a 2Ag player so he could get a TD - my players were miles away and tied up anyway. Can't cause a cas, can't score a td, things have gone from ok to shit in the space of two games with this team - gotta somehow get them back on track. Luck was even an issue this time - I just played crap.

TRANSFERRED TO UNRANKED - the roster was too full of unskilled players for ranked, boosting TR so that I'd have to play vs much better teams, when these guys really aren't that good.
