Raiders Forum 7's team for 2005

[Raider_69]

good stuff
not sure it will score that well cause its a rush job but its 5 v 2 it wont matter, it was a great effort to get one in at all, hopefully next time ya can give us your best

Fantastic effort Raiders
looks like we will be playing a game 3

 

[I Bleed Green]

Well done fellas, top stuff.

 

[Chippo Raiders]

is it me or did they just post two articles

 

[Chippo Raiders]

I mean like 2 not 5

 

[Raider_69]

I mean like 2 not 5

it would appear that is the case
in which case
we only need to 4.0+ per article to beat their total

ive never seen an article score lower than 6 - EVER so we have our first win, all the more better because it was over the team that cut me originally :twisted: :lol:

 

[Chippo Raiders]

don't say that 69.......I will give myself REAL low expectations this time....so I don't get disappointed


Now I know I am being a little selfish and maybe a little wishful...but I believe my article at the very least deserves a......2.5 now I know its a long shot

 

[Raider_69]

Chippo, i had words to you about this, lets not set the standard too high. 2.5 is just setting yourself up for dissappointment
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Chippo Raiders]

I think also we need a wee talk with Krisman for his support play........Raiders Boy never actually scored a try and already Kris man was converting.....tisk tisk

Chippo - an improvement from your first article and i can honestly say i know why im not a ref, no doubt with a few more games under your belt improvements will follow quickly, i have no doubts with time you'll be a consistant 8.0+ poster

Raiders boy - fantastic debut article, if you can reproduce those types of scores then you'll be a very valuable member of the mighty green machine! Keep it up champ.

Kris Man - 9.1!! WELL DONE! Raiders Man of the Match, and that an article you said to me you werent entirely happy with! You are producing the goods. The S.O.S off the bench to cover Woodgers and score a 9.1 is great.

MILLWALL: A rush job no doubt, im pretty much gonna disreguard that one because i know you can do alot better with more time and if you remember to save your work :lol:

Raider_69: ROBBED! that was a perfect 10 for sure :lol: In all seriousness I was pleased with my score, probably scored higher than it deserved so

All in all a great win, we are marching on to a third game against the Bags or Warriors for a spot in the final.
WE'RE BAD AND MEAN!

 

[MILLWALL]

lol GO ME!

 

[Kris_man]

9.1 - that's what i'm talking 'bout! it's funny how essays you put in heaps of effort with often seem to get outdone by essays where you didn't care so much. happens at uni all the time.

 

[raiders_boy]

Wow, I'm ecstatic with an 8.9 for my first ever article!

I was a bit worried that it wasn't gonna be what they were looking for, but yeah happy days!

BTW, lol @ kris man. I flicked it back for u to run on to, but i must have regathered my own pass and gone on to score...

All in all, nice work fellas! Looking forward to the forum 7s future!

 

[Kris_man]

guys, 69 drew the fullback and passed to Chippo, what the hell was Chippo doing passing a cut out?! is that even possible?! surely he was in under the sticks, but no, he flick passed to raiders_boy - well, if Chippo couldn't score, then raiders_boy must have!. after all, we had 3 of our guys one their one fullback, and 69 took care of him by passing to Chippo. so i assumed we scored (which we did, the scorecard shows it ) that's why i went for the conversion 8)

 

[raiders_boy]

nah mate... sorry, but their wingers were coming back quick smart in cover, and i thought i was gonna get done, so i flicked it back for ya.

now that i think about it, i remember running back to regather my flick pass and score under the posts...

wow... ur good! :lol:

 

[Chippo Raiders]

mates.....I am happy with the win but I am seriously thinking of my future with this.....I am spending nights on these.........

 

[Kris_man]

raiders_boy's article deserved its 8.9 - i was bloody impressed with it. probably maginified by the fact that i assumed it was gonna suck, isn't raiders_boy heaps young??

 

[I Bleed Green]

mates.....I am happy with the win but I am seriously thinking of my future with this.....I am spending nights on these.........

Remember mate, during the regular season you only get a game every month or so, if that. You've volunteered twice in two weeks, so you're probably burnt out and whatnot.

Thanks mate... I enjoyed writing it too. Good fun, and I'm really happy with that for a debut score.

I understand why u may think that with the whole raiders BOY thing, but I'm 18... I've wanted to change my name to something slightly less childish lately, but its my identity now

Your avatar hardly helps matters hahaha. Good stuff this round lads, try and put that pathetic initial effort behind us.
