“We won, but at a fairly high price.

I scored quickly to open the game..then on the ensuing KO, the ref was gotten...I knew I was in for a painful game when my opponent commented that 'I love Get the Ref'! sigh..so, most of the 1st half, I endured alot of pointless fouling..If it gave spp's, I would not mind as much (I'd still mind)...of courese, I tried to foul back, but with dwindling numbers, I did not often have the chance. Luckily, I was able to keep him to one score during the 1st half, so it ended at 1-1.

I kicked off to start the 2nd half and the B Boyz continued their fouling ways from the 1st half. About the 3rd turn, when they finally got someone thrown out of the game, he says something like 'Oh, forgot that we didn't have the ref anymore'...of course, a block soon after that killed poor Sid, my str 4 lineman. sigh. (I'd used the apoth earlier to avoid a niggler).

Still, I was able to get the ball back from them (helped by the player getting thrown out and a double skull by the Krox.) I could have scored on tun 5 I think it was..but I'd gotten a few KO's and alot of players were stunned...no one could get to me, so I stalled instead...only fair since he seemed content to foul, I might as well do the other annoying tactic.

Sure enough..instead of trying to force me to score, he just kept fouling my thrower while i blocked and Ko'd players that could get to my ball carrier. Finally, I did score on turn 8, without the Lizards ever seriously threating my guy with the ball.

Jack aged, with a -av..so I got him guard...I'll let him die on the pitch, but he might as well be usefull

Bill rolled doubles, so I have another guarding lineman...woot!

did replace Dew and Sid, so I won't be down players next match.”
