Our khemri face Greedy's gobbos + Nobbla. Should be entertaining whatever happens!
We opt to receive to try and minimise the chainsaw damage, then manage to get double skulls followed by double both-down with our first mummy block, giving up our first turn advantage immediately! But the curse is affecting both teams- they burn their reroll trying (and failing) to start up the saw, then get double skulls on their own first block!
We then get stuck in, killing a -av goblin on the LOS (apo doesn't even bother looking up from his newspaper) and chasing after nobbla with our block/tackle blitz-ra. The chainsaw fails to start 4 turns in a row until eventually we knock him over with a frenzy mummy. We can't do more than a stun despite our DP piling in for a foul, however. We finally secure the ball with our +agi thro-ra and rumble it slightly upfield, but an excellent goblin blitz (involving the assist of a thrown gobbo) gets 1die and knocks him over! We secure the ball (and badly hurt nobbla, at last, who never got his saw going despite 6 rolls in total), and run towards the endzone as fast as we can. On our last turn we have to make an AGI 2 catch, managing it with our last reroll, and then two nailbiting GFIs which we manage to make it 1-0!
The gobbos have saved a reroll for a TTM attempt, but our kick lands too deep for them to be able to get it to a tossable gobbo and we go into halftime. They set up just 9 vs our 11 and we get going.
The goblins are trying everything in their powers to get into a scoring position, while we're sending in the tackler and a few mummies after the ball. They manage to reclaim it several times only to be foiled by unlucky dodge attempts, and soon the pitch is painted a delicious red and only a couple goblins remain (plus the mostly-ignored trolls). We send in the DP who puts in a few killer fouls before getting sent off, before we finally pick up the ball and run in a final turn touchdown!
Cheers for the game Greedy, and kudos for playing gobbos in a B tourney!!”
