I do wonder if the "RLFans news hound" actually watches the games they report on, or just sees the scores and makes a story up to fit it?

I'm referring more to the headline than anything else. "Battle" does far more justice to the performance than "scrape" (not least because of the latter's unfortunate scatalogical connotations)
