skimos struck down by the Strikers in Nepal

"The Eskimos have gone down by 15 points in a close encounter in Nepal. While the game was close, coach KoopKicka understands they should not have gotten anywhere near a win.

Superhuman performances from Ben Howlett and Brad Ebert kept them in touch going into the closing stages, but then the Strikers powered away, and despite Cyril Riolis gallant escapade in front of goals they couldnt drag the rest of the team over the line.

As many as 6 changes could be made for the UAE clash next week, which Tendai Mzungu, Cameron Pedersen and Steven May especially feeling the heat. The Eskimos are gonna have to snatch a win in UAE or the claw back to finals contention will  be near impossible with an unfavourable draw, here is what KoopKicka had to say on the matter.

" While that was a close game, that doesnt excuse the majority of the players from hot water at the selection table next week, we had a perfect chance to start the season on a high at home against a depleted Sri Lanka and couldnt do it, thats gonna hurt"

"Full kudos to Sri Lanka and Jayman as they were the classier and better team on the day"

" I would say only about 5 or 6 positions will be locked away for next weeks clash, Ben, Brad, Cyril and Trent can't continue to get us out of trouble every game"

The defence were especially hapless, with Stevensons 96 the highest score.

The hot water wasnt made any colder by solid performances in the twos training by Ashton Hams, Lachlan Hendersen, Liam Picken, Marty Clarke, Jake Neade and Michael Firrito.
