“TR difference due to 330K cash and the Guardians missing a player.

Unfortunately, one of the least fun games I have played. Was raped by the dice in the first half. My first 4 rolls on defence (first 2 turns) were Snake-eyes, followed by a Skull, then a Skull Pow.

My opponent continued to have 70%+ luck in the whole first half, injuring two of my best players in the first 4-5 turns and KOing players with one dice pows, whilst I rolled heaps of 1s for GFI, pick up the ball and catch.

The game was tied at 1-1 at half time thanks to a 2 turn riot that gave my opponent little time to score.

Second half, I had either 7 or 8 players to start the drive for the entire half (except first drive maybe). Of course I got blitzed too to start the half, but I manged to recover and score.

In the end, I just did not have enough players and my opponent did not fail a single even semi important roll so I was quite fortunate to take a 3-2 lead late in the second half, but could not protect the lead with so few players and his continued failure to roll a 1.

Yeah I am bitching. Just hate when the die rolls screw you over early and put you on the backfoot the entire game.

My opponent had fun (of course he did!) and seemed to be a fun and friendly coach and I look forward to being able to enjoy a game with him where there is less bad luck affecting either of us so we can both have a laugh and contest the game on an even basis.”
