NuRRRgle received, and set about KO'ing UW players. DP Goat had a great game, lasting most of the match before Ref sent it off. Bomber chipped in with some KOs on each side; He was pretty funny, though ultimately not a game changer this time out.
Wizard managed to get the Goat carrier down with a Fireball and Moonstone took off with it for a touchdown. 1-0
Nurgle hit back with a 3 turn attempt, which I reasonably confidently expected to defend. Bomber toasted himself, no matter we got this covered. But the goat dodged, and his teammate threw the ball downfield for a score. 1-1
1TTD pushes went very well, we even risked a third push partly looking for a POW to remove the tackle zone. Alas for nothing as Thrower failed the pickup.
Second Half
UW received and Nurgle pushed forward fast, which I was okay with really - we usually dodge and weave out of trouble despite my relaxed attitude to positioning. I made a straight up mistake one turn regards tackle zones and was unable to take my planned blitz; GR had to hang back an extra turn with snot screen. Goat took the chance to dodge through and got a POW stun. It was a scramble for the ball and Moonstone nearly got it back, but it landed in a rotters arms. We couldn't subsequently get it down and it was Game Over 1-2
Tough loss that one. The team seemed to have a strong chance with a good squad on paper, no Tackle to worry about, and coach splashed a little extra cash for a Wizard. Things just didn't work out. Troll was useless. GR was only intermittently stylish. Blitzer did not manage a CAS. Bomber was terrifying for both coaches.
Well played Joost, good luck next round.”
