Can’t Ring out a Thriller
In probably their easiest game of the season, Thriller have continued to build to a potential finals appearance with a dominant win over the WCL Ringgas.

Thriller has to contend with some well known stars in the form of Deeproot and Grimjaw as they took on the Rinngas, and they relished the challenge.

The Ringgas received first and didn’t take any chances in regards to getting on the score board, taking the opportunity to score right from the opening whistle with a OTTD.

After the opening TD, the Ringgas found themselves on the receiving end of a beat down with Thriller removing players at will and a willingness to foul without prejudice. Thriller removed both stars with fouls and after clobbering the Ringgas, they waited for the half time siren before levelling the score.

With a massive numbers advantage heading into the second half, Thriller moved their game from a bash game to a flash game and went about scoring as frequently as possible. Along the way they still kept up the heavy hits and by the time the final siren sounded, they had run in another 3 TD’s to win the game 4-1 and keep their undefeated streak building.

Thriller snaps Wood like twigs
With half the season over and Thriller starting a little slower than expected, they knew they needed to switch on if they were going to be a chance of reaching finals and gaining another title. In round 5 the faced The Wyldwood Wanderers.

The Wanderers received first in Blizzard conditions, but in typical Wood Elf fashion, they looked to dance and move fast for a quick lead. However, an effective display from their early blocking left Thriller in a position to get to the ball carrier straight away.

After a few rounds of seeing the ball change hands multiple times slowed the progress of the Wanderers and gave Thriller a chance to bunch them up. Thriller took full advantage of the situation and punished the Wanderers removing players almost at will.

The Wanderers still didn’t give up the fight and made Thriller wrestle for the ball continually through the first half until Thriller were able to finally secure the ball and score on the halftime siren.

In the second half, Thriller were in an advantageous position with a big numbers advantage and looked to score quickly to give themselves a chance to rack up a big score. They scored midway through the half and readied quickly to kick off to the Wanderers again.

Piling on the pressure again, Thriller were able to easily turn the ball over again and then just before the final siren sounded, they scored a 3rd TD, having left a trail of 10 injured Wanderers in their wake and took a big step towards getting their season back on track.

Thriller stopped mid Thrust
Thriller came up against their toughest challenge in their return season by coming up against last season’s champions In Skulls We Thrust.

As the game got started, it started to become obvious that they still hadn’t shaken the rust from their season off as once again they started slowly.

Thriller received first and soon got themselves into a solid position to make progress down the pitch, but the effectiveness of their blocking left a lot to be desired as they hardly made a dent in the Skulls.

It wasn’t long into the first half when the Skulls injured Killer which saw him out for the game. This stilted the progress that Thriller were making down the pitch and they weren’t able to stall out the first half, however they still managed to get on the board with a TD.

With time on the clock, the Skulls pushed for an equalising TD, but Thriller were able to get the vital stop and held the lead at the half.

As the second half progressed, Thriller started to feel the punishment from the Skulls and started to lose players from the pitch and it stopped them from holding out the Skulls who levelled the scores late in the game.

As the game was drawing to full time, there was not time for Thriller to push for a winning TD. As the siren sounded Thriller knew they’d have to settle for a draw and luck their wounds before another key match and a chance to get their season back on track.

Thriller force Sons to Splinter
After managing to keep their undefeated streak alive, Thriller found themselves coming up against Sons of Splinter in what shaped as an opportunity to get back in a bit of form before playing the previous season's champions.

Thriller received first and had big intentions of scoring quickly to give themselves a chance at improving their TD scoring skills after a slow start to the season.

Whilst they were able to move the ball easily around the pitch, they slowed their drive simply because they weren't removing many Sons from the pitch and they wanted to work on their blocking.

As the half drew to a close, they gave the ball to Wacko and let him get his first TD for the team.

As the game moved into the second half, an early foul in the game was starting to prove it's worth as the Rat Ogre continued to remain Knocked Out.

Struggling to have many players return from the KO'd bin, the Sons were short of numbers, and despite a quick dash down a sideline, they soon found themselves cornered and the ball was knocked free and soon in the hands of Thriller again.

Thriller again saw this as an opportunity to practice their blocking and by the end of the match, they were able to clear all the Sons players from the pitch before scoring a final TD on the siren and winning 2-0.
