TOTAL OFFENSE 278 405
Lobwein did get the first points with a 36 yard field goal. Whilst the

kicker did have a bad, no very bad day, the Diesels should have been putting those
Punt Return Yards -1 56
Kick Return Yards 59 49 drives into the end zone for seven points not relying on a desperate kicker. The
Punts 9 3 game stayed at 3-0 until the fourth quarter as a conservative Gold Coast simply did

Fumbles 1 3 prone Diesels and it was Shane Walsh who converted a 14 play drive with a quick
Fumbles Lost 0 1 swing pass from 6 yards. The Giants were in again 6 minutes later with big Running
Penalties 10 3 Back Richard lam crashing in and the 14-3 lead was set to create shock waves for the

Turnovers 0 2 Rowan Binge replied almost immediately with a 70 yard touchdown
TIME OF POSSESSION 28:32 31:28 reception showing once again that Binge is the most complete receiver in our game.
However all this score did was keep the fans interested as the Diesels were stopped
on downs and then fumbled away possession to gift the Giants a 14-10 win.
