Thriller Streak Dixon Destroyed Thriller played their 4th Semi Final in 4 WCL seasons and we’re feeling confident coming up against a fairly rookie Dwarf team in the Dixon Destroyers. However with long time rival coach Frosthammer on the other side of the pitch, it seemed like it just wasn’t going to be a good night for Thriller. Thriller received first and we’re happy to seeing Helmut and a mercenary spend time on the sideline, knowing this was their chance to get a head start and try hurt a few of the Dwarves before halftime. But it seemed like coach Frosthammer has instilled a sense of purpose in the Destroyers, they were more determined to stay on their feet and even more determined to stay on the pitch. Thriller were able to make decent progress up the pitch, however soon hit the Destroyers defensive wall and decided they may try their luck and send the ball wide. The Destroyers found it easy to catch up to the ball and stopped any chance Thriller had of scoring very easily and were belting them off the pitch with ease, if not for some good Regeneration abilities, Thriller would have been looking much more vulnerable in the second half. Neither team scored in the first half, and after the beating Thriller took, they weren’t looking as strong for the second half. The Destroyers could sense it as well and immediately went about laying the smack down again in the second half. Seemingly removing Thriller players with ease, the mercenary added to the plight of Thriller by being immensely violent with his boots, injuring 3 Thriller players and killing another. Thriller tried to dig into their old bag of tricks and get into a position were maybe their speed could secure them an unlikely TD, but the tripped over themselves even trying to get the ball. As the game came closer to a conclusion, the Destroyers were able to recover the ball easily and keep the few remaining Thriller players on the pitch at a long arms length before scoring the only TD of the match moments before the siren. After 4 tough seasons and 38 games undefeated, the amazing streak of Thriller has come to an end. Only 1 players has remained with the team throughout, Legendary werewolf Killer. However as the season comes to a close with just one match remaining, he, like the rest of the team look tired and worn out after a long campaign. This will be their last.

WEED nearly strangle Thriller Streak In the final regular season match for Thriller, they saw themselves up against WEED, a team that nearly embarrassed them early in their previous season. The match started in a Blizzard which was to prove to hang around for the whole match and cause a nuisance for the slower Thriller. WEED were to prove themselves a bit of a bogey team again for Thriller. Firstly a Time-Out right from the kick off cut into Thriller’s first drive, then a disastrous start with Killer Knocking Out himself, WEED were soon onto the ball and in position to move deep downfield. Thriller looked to get the ball back straight away, but they must have been feeling ice under their feet from the Blizzard, as they struggled to dodge and were soon both outnumbered and out manoeuvred. WEED controlled the first half and kept any attempts from Thriller to get the ball back completely at bay and scored on the stroke of halftime. WEED found themselves in position to push for a 2-0 lead in the second half, but Thriller were tenacious. They managed to get the ball off WEED, but had nowhere to go to try hero the ball secure and soon lost the ball again. The loose ball didn’t go far, staying close by and Thriller again knocked the ball free, but quickly lost it again and this time, WEED didn’t mess about getting their second TD. With only a quarter of the game to go, Thriller knew they would need to push quickly to have a chance. A touchback from the kickoff gave them a chance to push the ball downfield and set themselves a small cage to protect the ball. WEED knew that if they didn’t hit the Thriller ball carrier, a certain TD would be scored, so they tried their best, but fell down during the block and Thriller scored straight away to give themselves a sniff. With only moments left in the game, WEED quickly got the ball from the last kickoff and got themselves downfield with a loose screen to protect them, but it wasn’t enough, with the resulting blitz seeing the ball carrier get knocked down by the sideline, the ball spilling over the sideline and then thrown as far across the field as they could manage. Thriller then picked up the ball, handed it off to a werewolf and like moments earlier got in range to score, however this time they couldn’t really manage a cage, barely just a screen. The screen proved enough again though with WEED again knocking themselves down on the blitz. It wasn’t plain sailing for Thriller though, a block and a dodge still needed to get themselves free, but they managed to complete both successfully and again managed to steal a draw at the death.

Thriller all about the Glamour Round 7 saw a match between 2 of the commissioners of the league with Thriller taking on the Glamazons and commissioner bragging rights on the line. It was an unfair match up from the start with Thriller being far more experienced than the Glamazons who are in their first season. The Glamazons tried to even the odds by hiring well known star player Morg’n’Thorg. Thriller received first and went straight after Morg, hurting him on their first crack and leaving him to have to catch up on the result after the game. Thriller played a very deliberate game from this point and went about grinding down the Glamazons and scoring at halftime to lead 1-0 at the break. The Glamazons then recorded in the second half and didn’t give up, pushing hard to get themselves back in the match. But the excessive of experience and skill that Thriller possessed meant they weren’t able to get back in it or hold out Thriller who scored late in the game to win 2-0.

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.
