“It was a stupid game to agree to. Although our TRs were similar, our TSs were wildly out due to two of my best players being MNG. And this undead team were looking particularly bashy. It would be a tough game to get something from, but I thought I could out manoeuvre them.

Then, first turn, the opposition fans throw a rock and niggle ol' "Spooky". My opponents receive, and first block thrown badly hurts another player. And so it continued, with casualty following casualty in the first half.

Just to rub it in, after their first score the opponents then blitzed from the kickoff. It was at this point that "Spooky" Armitage decided to retire and join the coaching staff.

Somehow we made it through the game without anyone else taking any permanent damage and we even scored in the second half. We even reduced the opposition to 8 players by the end of the match. It just goes to show that it could have been interesting if my first half wasn't so Nuffled that Fukara was asking whether I wanted to concede after Turn 3.
