My first game against Amazons. Suffered a turnover on the first drive and conceded a TD. Tried for a risky score on the second as half-time was approaching, but failed and conceded a second. Nearly held off the Carnival in the second half but not quite. Got a good consolation TD with a running play though.
Lessons Learned:
1. Be prepared to reroll blocks against blodgers if it is vital to get them down rather than just pushed back.
2. Move cover back first before attempting risky blocks.
3. 4 players on the LOS may prove insufficient if the opposition concentrate their attack in the centre.
4. Guard is a very useful skill, especially when caging.
5. It is better to be on your feet in a not quite perfect position than be on the ground but exactly where you want to be. ”
