“WIL Premiership Round 5

Last (us) vs second last here. Gotta get a win on the board for some much-needed points after getting robbed at the last second in round 4!

We kick first and they rush Helmut Wolf at our STR7 mummy... bzzz... but he withstands the attack! We then 3d blitz the only skink in our half with our MB/tackle wight (today's designated skink-hunter!) for a BH, plus stun Helmut with the uber-mummy. T3 and they rush through our lines with a blodge skink holding the ball - we can unleash a wrestle ghoul for a 2d blitz, and it's a POW + MNG'd! He's standing over the ball but another skink can still rush through, grab it and dodge on for the endzone.. 1-0!

We receive with their kick landing right in the corner of our endzone, then push forwards (taking a skelly BH from their kroxi). T7 and we MNG another skink with the skink-hunter and put a couple of ghouls in scoring range. They do quite nicely to knock over both and our best chance at a TD is a 1d blitz vs their stand firmer (rerolling to knock him over) and then a few GFIs to the endzone to receive a 3+ pass... but the ghoul drops it!!

2nd half and they have only 9 vs our 11, but do manage to start things off with a blitz that lets them get a skink beside where the ball is going to land. Fortunately we can get the ball safe, but it slows us down a lot and we do not score until T5. They have now burnt all their rerolls as we kick off with 11 vs 9 again... come on!

Our kick max-scatters and then bounces meanly so even with kick they get a touchback to hand it to their break tackle saurus.. argh! They cage him up in the middle of their half and we rush players in all around him. T8 is the first chance we can get to hit him, but a 2d blitz can't knock him over even with a RR. We get 2 further 1d blocks after that, finally hitting him over, but the scatter is cruel and we can't make a 5+ pickup in two tackle zones.

Well defended at the end there Bo-brum!”
