Round 8 (2006) Lions v Raiders

[TiTTieS_[CNTDN]]

Well, it is the same in other sports like Gymnastics and Diving. The routine or dive is performed, then the judges determine a score.

I guess this is kind of like putting your money on the footy rather than on the horses. It lasts longer this way so you can enjoy it more

Well done both sides, great game with some top articles.

Looking forward to the result

An article that probably reflects the thoughts of fans of other clubs as well. The writer looks at the critical areas of his team and offers an opinion on them.

I was enjoying the read, when it finished so abruptly, I had to check that I hadn’t lost some when copying and pasting. This is a piece that needed a longer word count. Definitely out of the square, but a bit thin because of the word limit. Maybe just having five teams would’ve allowed a bit more detail for each team. Still “A” for originality.

Some good thoughts on the vid ref in this one. What’s the answer? I doubt we’ll ever please everyone. The piece for me tended to get a little jumbled in the reading towards the end, none the less the writer puts forward constructive criticism.

I found this piece a little up and down in the reading. Good story, but just misses that something to make it stand out. All about a fans introduction to the game of league. Some minor grammatical errors that weren’t penalised.

Some suggestions on betting options that could be introduced. A clever idea, but just didn’t quite get there to keep me wanting to read on.

Good reading. All clubs have them don’t they? I can relate this to players in my club.

Well presented piece on the superleague war, and what might have been. I have to say, I wish we still had the Reds, and Rams in the comp, and the point is well made that we really don’t have a national competition despite the name.

I’ll be watching the Raiders with extra interest next season after reading this. A piece about experience versus youth. Well written

Good work, antonius. Thanks for the quick marking

 

[I Bleed Green]

Thanks for the quick and detailed marking antonius.

Bad luck Lions, but kudos for getting all 5 posters in. Hopefully you'll be back stronger next year.

Well done fellow Raiders, let's keep rolling.

 

[dubby]

Thanks antonius for the quick marking.

I cannot believe I'm MOTM ....:shock:

*watches on from the sidelines*

Well done, Raiders.

Hard luck, Lions. I reckon you've still got a win in you, though, and no better time to pull that out than in the final round - the battle for, (or rather from), the wooden spoon.

 

[Raider_69]

unlucky lions, put up a good fight

welldone dubby for his first MOTM (first of many im sure )
The raiders juggernaut starts rolling on toward the finals

 

[Master Vippo]

Fastest marking ever!

Well done Raiders, i was kinda hoping you wouldnt win, you could stand between us and the finals!!

 

[Timbo]

Bad luck Lions, good effort by all involved.

 

[thickos]

Great game!

Commiserations to the Lions, and thanks for the quick marking antonius.

Good work my fellow Raiders, esp. Dubby - great, captivating article - well done

 

[choc_soldier]

QUACK! :lol:

Yet to break our duck for this year! The old saying "so close, yet so far!" But I really loved the effort put in (as always!)

Great game played by all, and congratulations to the Raiders!

Best of luck for the rest of the year.
