An interesting theory, but the article itself felt a little disjointed. Did well considering the word count constraints.

A brilliantly crafted piece on the pressure of finals football, with liberal but effective use of quotations. Really enjoyed it.

What's in a Name?
Written By: Polar Bob

A humorous look at our consumer driven society and its potential effect on rugby league. Reminded me of Jennifer Government by Max Barry.

An interesting take on a match report, although needlessly wordy at times. It got just a little confusing.

Scouts or Humanitarians

An intriguing read about a topic that doesn't get a lot of play in rugby league circles. Highlights the healing power of rugby league as well as focussing on a community I'd not heard of.

sorry for letting ya down guys.

Was a bit disappointed with my score but nonethless well done to souths and to the warriors

 

[Jesbass]

Thanks for the marking, ref. You sure made us sweat by forgetting about the match, lol! :lol:

Thanks for the great season, Warriors.

Thanks, Clevo - very kind of you to say such things.

EDIT: Did anyone like the dog video? :lol:

 

[Crusher]

very nice essay work JB

 

[Jesbass]

Thanks, Crusher. I enjoyed your unique match review.

 

[Misanthrope]

Just wanted to clarify my marking of Crusher's article, in case it's caused some confusion. The use of language was very well done with regards to the time period you were attempting to capture, but as a piece about league I thought it perhaps sacrificed a little in order to be true to the style you'd written in. As a result, it became a little difficult to read at points.

Don't be put off by the score at all, you were brave enough to attempt something different and it didn't pay off as expected. But please God, don't become one of the people who posts a match report in 'traditional' style every week. The writing quality was most certainly there, it's just about finding a balance between styles.

 

[Crusher]

thanks CW

and please to not take any comments personally. I appreciate the efforts you make in the F7's and I will be making a point of making it more 'league' and less lingual in the context of the F7's

cheers for the feedback
