Game 1 - Results and fines

Great win Stallions, and good to get a couple of drinks in (with meals of course).

A couple of the awards decided.

MVPs:
The wide backs put in a huge effort, reflected in the points. Who would have thought Butch leading the standings after game 1!
3 - Mike B
2 - Joe
1 - Paddy

Stallion:
Panda - beating his marker who ends up on the ground, Panda stops, stands over him and lets him know just how crap he is. Stallion!
A close 2nd - Lloyd's hiptoss of the shirtpuller - which somehow managed to get us the freekick.

Pony:
This is a key one - the winner may be wearing the first headband - and of course will have to come up with a match report. Here are the options, this can go to the vote - but announce your vote in the comments section. Polls are no good for this - they can be rigged, and we should be transparent in who we vote for. Nominations:
- Paddy - The Rauru imitation fine - the 1 on 1 chip to the keeper/pass back.
- Graham - could have been a stallion - free header on the backpost, 1-1 midway through the second half - went backwards, followed by a huge FUUUCCCCKK.
- The Butcher returns - a rather nasty chop chop on their winger
- Have I forgotten?

Fines:
All of the above and quite a few others, feel free to nominate/list

All great pony worthy moments. My vote goes with Paddy - the ball didn't even reach the keeper on the full

only because I missed out on an assist - graham's pointy head header

I'm with T, as much as I always enjoy Graham getting the pony, I'm thinking Paddy. G's was a big miss, BUT it was a great run to shake his marker, get to the exact place he was supposed to be, and then to have headed in a hard, fast and perfect cross would have been out of this world. Paddy, on the other hand, gave Rauru shit for the same thing the week before - it always comes back to bite you.

Hmmm Pony I'd have to go for Paddy as well. Great goal tho Paddy. Loved it

Jesus you're a tough crowd! Happy to accept the new headband though - always better to wear it in the dark at a night game....

Lloyd, Tangi, and Jase also had huge games and unlucky not to feature in the MVP points.
