Raiders Tirol @ Munich Ravens | Match Grading | EFA Week 1, 2026

Raiders Tirol 38 - 58 Munich Ravens

I love the idea of a grade system for games so we can keep track of the best (and worst) of all time. I don’t want to limit this to a per-league basis; it’s all fun and subjective. We are using a star system with 7 categories, then calculating the average for our total score. There is room to change categories in the future if needed. Finally, there will be a few bullet points, if needed, to explain why we have given a certain grade.

Offensive Performance - 5*

• Ravens were literally unstoppable on offence. They did not get stopped once the entire game.

• Steven Krajewski looked very, and I mean very, good in his European debut. The INT was more of a miscommunication.

• Russell Tabor is the MVP frontrunner.

Defensive Performance - 1*

• The Raiders' defence got shredded.

• Ravens' defensive unit even looked like it was feeling the heat at times.

Ref Performance - 4*

• Good pace.

• Made good calls with the earlier knee-to-ground catch.

Commentary (English) - 1*

• Dragan is not the number two behind Stanley.

• No coms for the starting return touchdown.

  
  

Big Moments/Game Drama - 4*

• Krajewski was keeping the Ravens on their toes most of the game.

• Big gains by the Munich Ravens' offence earlier and often.

• Kick off touchdown.

• Beautiful TD pass to Toni Rabensteiner.

• Geyer in Munich colours.

• Tonko and Seelig are two young stars at RB.

• Aaron Jackson is still a monster.

Individual Performances - 4*

• Bijion Harris with a Kick 6 and an INT. He allowed big catches, though.

• Tabor was excellent all game.

• Justin Rodney was in good form.

• Krajewski looks like a possible "newcomer of the year"

Ending - 2*

• Backups in for Munich.

• A few late scores from Tirol to bring back the score.

Overall Score - 3.14*

Fun first half, but the Raiders ran out of steam in the second half.

Games MVP - Russell Tabor

• Multiple rushing scores.

• Never looked uncomfortable.

• Didn't ever put a foot wrong.

Second-year MVP season is on the cards.
