Round 1 (2005) Lions Vs Dirty Reds

[roosterboy60]

So your going to laugh at the Roosters when they lose with your girlfriend there. Not a very good move mate :lol: ;-)

 

[MrCharisma]

Yah it is cause I'll be there to pick up the pieces when she's sad

Nah I'm not like that.. stop making me out to be the big meanie!

 

[roosterboy60]

:lol: Well if people knew your girlfriend..they would say your lucky. ;-) No your soft really :lol:

 

[Willow]

Match thread gents?

 

[roosterboy60]

Sorry Willow, just a bit of fun.

 

[Willow]

I should have added this: ;-)
But it does make it easier for the refs when they only have to look at match posts. We can't have you radicals getting out of hand now. :lol:

 

[Misanthrope]

Dizamn. I saw all of these extra posts and one from Willow, thought we'd had an ultra fast ref's decision. lol.

Best of luck everyone.

Dirty Reds

Skeptic Ghost
Word count: 713
Comments: Hmmm… nicely written piece about admiring someone who is very special in your life, but it kind of draws a very long bow on its link to rugby league. It only loses marks because it isn’t really a rugby league piece; otherwise a strong effort.
Score: 72

Comments: Read the whole thing with a smile on my face. A bit brash, certainly uncouth at times, but a nice bit of comedy and true in every sense of the word… especially the Dragons getting kicked out of last year’s finals.
Score: 92

Comments: Injuries… the bane of every team. Some good points raised, although you never really came to a solid conclusion.
Score: 82

PJ Marshal
Word count: 722
Comments: Don’t get me wrong, I dislike Gus Gould as much as the next Friday Night Football viewer. But this article is fairly scathing and not particularly constructive and as a result, I think it loses a lot of its effectiveness.
Score: 81

Mr Charisma
Word Count: 739
Comments: A completely surreal article, at times I had little idea what was going on but I loved it anyway. The Roosters fan day is a queer event? Anyway, there were a few spelling and grammatical errors which eroded your score a little bit, but otherwise it was thoroughly enjoyable.
Score: 86

Dirty Red total: 413



Lions

Comments: Very well written, unique, and though it ended kind of abruptly, you did well given the confines of the word limit. A very entertaining telling of the Mark Geyer story.
Score: 90

Comments: Started off very strongly with the sickeningly sarcastic satire of the Roosters place in the NRL. Kind of dropped off a bit after that; still funny though, and I liked the idea of a Brian Smith ‘motivational speech’. Since most newspaper articles trail off at the end though, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one – overall a good piece of comedy.
Score: 88

Roosterboy60
Word count: 731
Comments: A few minor grammar issues to iron out; otherwise fairly well written. Will rugby league still be around in a hundred years? I have no doubt about it, but I imagine it’ll be hugely different to the game we watch now.
Score: 82

Comments: A good summary of the situation, strong writing. The Gold Coast definitely seems the best option for expansion for both the NRL and the AFL; let’s just hope we get there first.
Score: 87

Mr Rock
Word count: 750
Comments: I definitely do remember the first time I ran out onto the field in the Under 7’s… absolute horror best describes it . Anyway, I digress: a very entertaining article about an often overlooked area of the wonderful sport.
Score: 86

Lions total: 433

Game result:
Lions 433 defeat Dirty Reds 413

[*Sandy*]

Wow! I did good! And i know what you mean Captain Dread - I had a hard time scaling it down to fit in the word limit.

Well done Lions!!

Congrats on the MOM CWB!

 

[Broncodroid]

Congrats to the Lions and commiserations to the Reds...nice article CWB just quietly ;-)

Head up Skeptic Ghost, it's Round 1, I enjoyed your article truth be known. I am sure CWB will echo my thoughts and say there is no need for sorry here This was a high quality game from the outset after reading the articles posted.

to all involved.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

I'm with Broncodroid, I enjoyed your article too Skeptic, don't be disheartened mate.

Thanks for the game Reds and thanks to Captain Dread for the reffing.

 

[Mr Rock!!!]

:evil: Well done to all :twisted:

 

[Gene Krupa]

Well done Lions.

Bad luck Reds.

 

[choc_soldier]

Well played lads and lasses.

 

[Misanthrope]

Nice result boys, especially against such a classy outfit. Great effort from all involved.

Skeptic, I loved your article, and don't let the lower mark get you down. I know what you're capable of, and as Dread says, all that hurt you was that it didn't link into rugby league so well. It happens, and I know you'll be better for it.

Top effort guys, and thanks for the MoM Dread. My highest mark ever!
