“A total rape job I am afraid. Whilst my opponent played very well, the game was pretty much given to him by the dice rolls. First half I started with the ball and has 37% luck for the half compared to his 76%. I rolled pushes or skull/pows all day, he got 1 dice pows that caused KOs on my 9 AV. He also fouled one of my best players and the apoth failed of course.

I continued to roll snake-eyes etc and almost conceded a turnover.

Second half, I start with 10. The only bit of bad luck for my opponent in the whole game occurs early when he fumbles a pass or fails to pick up the ball, I can't recall which and I manage to steal the ball in his half for a few turns.

We fight on, but I am down 2 players (he KOd another on his first turn) and with my continued crappy blocks, and his Pows (though a lot less than before which is why he finished with 61% luck) kept me pinned.

Eventually, he gets his one dice Pow on my ball carrier (what else?!?!?) and this turns to a TD when I fail my 3+ dodge with reroll to set up a difficult but possible 2 dice blitz on his Wardancer that would send him out of bounds with the ball.

I have one last desperate chance to score on the final kickoff, but the first 5 or so blocks are all two dice pushes so I only manage to get one player into his backfield deep enough to score instead of two, so I didn't have a chance when he flooded him with about 6-7 players. With two in his backfield, at least there was the slim chance a chain pushback or some difficult dodges, but like everything else today it didn't go my way.
------------
A very unfun match. There was nothing I could do with my sh1tty luck all day and his great luck in the first half and superior luck (though not fantastic) in the second. I just kept getting pushes and pushes or Skull/Pows and he kept getting mostly Pows.

Both my Cas against him came very late in the game (like turn 5 and 6 second half) when the game was already well and truly lost.

A rape job through and through. No disrespect to my opponent who took full advantage of the luck given to him, but I had no chance that game with the way the dice were favouring him most times.”
