Well this was dice rape at its finest :). Plorg played an ok game, but he let me steal the ball several times.

I took a couple of risky moves but the dice well and truly decided this one.

Eg, my first turn netted me 2 double skulls when I had an easy OOB play on his Mighty Blow Tackle with an AG5 Witch dodging through. So I get stunned and fouled and BH instead.

Also, his first turn of blocks causes a niggle on a DP. I apoth it to keep my numbers up.

Anyways, my first half continues to be suckful as I keep getting the 1s and double skulls. In fact, I had 4 double skulls before my opponent had any.

Outnumbered as my fouls were ineffective, I managed to control the ball and score late to secure a 1-0 half.

Second half, I have 10 vs 11. Anyways, I had a chance to steal the loose ball, but after using a RR to get a pow, I rolled a 1 to pick it up and it scatters nicely for my opponent and he ends up scoring.

OT, I have 8 players as I fail all 3 KO rolls (so made 2 from last 8 KO rolls) and I have breakaway play to get the ball to a Dodger with no Tacklers within range. I do the riskier approach by doing the 2 GFI blitz move instead of blitzing with the receiver first and having a longer throw.

Sure enough, snake eyes on my GFI.

My opponent gets the ball off me. I try play defence, first roll, snake eyes.

There were more 1s and snakes to come and no recovery of the ball and the Falcons go out in OT.

The game was there to be won in the second half as I outplayed my opponent, but the dice gave it to him as he caused 6 cas to my 1 before we even got to overtime, plus my KO recovery rolls, plus all my double skulls and snake eyes.

Overtime it was there to be won as well, but as per above snakes etc.

Anyways, that is the game and the Falcons continue to rebuild.

Good luck in the next game Plorg.
