Results! Earlier than expected as I... OK, I'll be honest. I couldn't be stuffed working this morning and since I have my own office I just closed the door and turned the music up loud.
By the way bubbles, I expect PM's with at least 3 pic's :sarcasm:
Souths: 335
Monk - A totally different experience
An amusing retelling of the shit flinging you give your mates when you head to the footy with them. As a Saints fan, with plenty of Roosters mates, I too copped an earful and deservedly so.
Score: 83
byrne_rovelli_fan82 - To be feared
A look at the Warriors and their changing prospects. Lacked a little punch despite the compelling evidence provided. Definately did make me go look at the ladder and realise the team was not far from trading shots with the top teams.
Score: 80
Marshall Magic - Wires Crossed
Clever, hairbrained (In a good way) article that allowed the mad scientist footballer come out to shine. The fact that some of the ideas raised (Particularly the sideline sensors) not only made sense but actually got me thinking that they should be looked in to gave a good level of immersion and enjoyment.
Score: 88
Bubbles - Complete and utter Carnage
Good look at the ongoing saga of league's own licorice all-sorts. Lacked a little bit of drive but otherwise was an enjoyable read. I do tend to agree, he's an idiot and the drink makes it worse, but I also think there's merit in the argument that he has a problem (Just not specifically alcoholic). The issue is noone is willing to work out what that is and walk him through it.
Score: 84
Panthers: 424
Goleel - Hicks and Stones
A really clever article on the author's use of sledging for his players and the reasons he holds back. I must admit, I myself have unusual rules on who and why I sledge, but even I would have given Hicks a spray for his effort. He really is a nuffy.
Score: 86
Madunit - The Wizard of Aus
Well written, excellent substitution of characters in the story and honestly quite descriptive of the world I think Rebecca Wilson lives in. If I had gold stars, I'd place plenty of them on yours! Well done.
Score: 89
Leaguenut - Twenty Questions (Plus a few more)
An unusual format that started well with some sly sayings but tended to lose my interest after a while. I think the format could have worked but the pace tended to drop off after a while. The ending was quite clever, though, and I do think that we have all been guilty of doing that in F7's 
Score: 81
Broncoman - Four reasons next year will be better than 2011
To be honest, these types of articles don't grab me often. Whilst good points are raised and I understood what was being said, I did feel like there reasons being put forward were circumstantial and subject to change rather than real reasons for looking forward. Also missed the IC as a major change in next year, which I think will make the biggest positive impact on the game.
Score: 79
Azkatro - Cutting out the "Middle" man
Quite well written article with hints of conspiracy and intrigue to keep the reader going. I liked it, and was hoping there were some more examples given to fuel my interest. I'm also looking forward to what you manage to put together for the benefit of everyone else, as a neutral resource made not for money but for love is always one I'm interested in using.
Score: 89
Panthers defeat Souths. MOM is Azkatro and Madunit jointly. Good game all.
