Lambretta – Confusion Reigns – 743 words - 83
A well written piece (bar 1 small error) looking at some of the more baffling aspects of the game. Well written but lacked a finishing punch.
Byrne_rovelli_fan82 – Warriors Newest Superboot? – 748 words - 82
Article about the increasing goalkicking prowess of James Maloney. A good piece with a few small errors
Marshall_magic – INterCEPTION – 746 words - 87
Nicely written piece showing how the subconscious is always a few steps ahead of the conscious. Nice ending too!
Monk – One Eye – 734 words - 84
A good premise, linking a new take to an old idea the writer once had for an article. I must admit, the article didn’t actually make me think if I was a one eyed supporter, but that may be due to the fact that the author spent more time talking about the Dragons and themselves and not what typifies a one-eyed supporter. Still a solid concept and well written.

Cliffhanger - Fat Footballer - 734 words - 85
Piece about Greg Inglis being fat. Makes a valid point too, asking how he hasn't managed to shed the off-season kilos. Nicely written.
Willow - The Sounds Of Silence - 750 words - 89
Great piece revealing that commentators don't actually enhance the viewing experience, they plainly get in the road of it and how we should be able to choose whether to listen to them or not. Superb!
AlwaysGreen - Little Big Man - 745 words - 87
A good look at the career thus far of Matt Bowen. Nicely written and a great piece about a great player.
Timmah - When's The Footy On? - 737 words - 87
A very valid and strong argument about the joke that is the NRL scheduling. Well written and constructed.
Rexxy - Life's Grand - 727 words - 90
I loved this piece! Magnificent piece about community, pride, pide and a squashed foot. It sounds all so disjointed here, but you wove it all together beautifully with your unique wit. Great work!
