Interestingly, the new proposals in football around the 'Super League' include promotion and relegation...

I would have liked to see him go now and try and become a 6. I think he could be a superstar at that position. With respect to how good he is, he's not in the top 3 full backs in the world at the moment and would need to prove it to be justifiably mentioned in the same conversation as Ponga and Walsh, never mind alongside Cleary et al as the best in the world as well Choice of club is massive. I'd hate to see him at Wests or some other basket case like the Dragons. Saying that, a massive club brings it's own pressure in that market.

Flap your wings and scare a few joggers? Whilst holding a clip board, quacking to yourself.

This is where i stand. No brackets, no order of calculations required

Thanks. I'm gonna look at Hexclad today if i can be bothered.

Thoughts? We need new ones and I know they're some cooks on here. All I'm looking for is a good versatile frying pan and saucepan

No. Because they don't. They might make a bad decision now again, but that's sport.

I just don't care about where the ref is from and neither do normal people.

WI played England at cricket yesterday. All 4 umpires and the match ref were from the WI. Zimbabwe are playing Ireland, 80% are Zimbabwean and the other 20% is SAfrican. We have to be realistic and again, who cares!? I don't know how you managed to enjoy the Tr-Nations given your mind was elsewhere. Well done.

With respect, i think you're missing my point. Let's assume that the problem statement is: There are too many concussions and concussion related symptoms in RL. That could be argued, but we'll crack on. The solution that will be implemented to tackle the problem is that they'll be no tackling under the armpit. I have a problem with this as i fundamentally do not believe that this will solve the problem and the reasons why i think this have been articulated previously in this thread. My women's intuition tells me that this is all about insurance and a ticking the box exercise in that regard. What it isn't, is a collaborative and robust process with clear outcomes. Ergo, i think we've started a slippery slope.

Something perhaps needs to be changed, but it could be argued that the changes need to happen away from the field; the amount of contact in training etc. Is it definitive that 'head clashes' are the cause of concussion and related symptoms? I would have thought that other than a cut or a break, head clashes are ok relatively speaking and that the goal should be to reduce the number of collisions the head has against a hip, the floor etc. The problem with reducing subs and introducing more fatigue is then the possibility of incorrect tackle technique leading to concussion and related symptoms. James Graham is very comfortable with his decisions, an odd example to use. Sorry to pick on your post, but all i see across all of this thread is potential unintended consequences. The trail period wasn't long enough to establish what the proper outcomes are and we are potentially going down a rabbit hole of legislation / changes to the game.

Do people care? I certainly can't imagine a new fan being miffed because the ref is from X rather than Y.

Youve missed the NYG - NOS game.

Crikey we've had some rate forrards

Couldn't agree more - It has to start somewhere. St Mirren would have been perfect last night, but maybe a stretch for non Weegies to get to. 2 trains and all that.

It'd be a hard push to play at 1 and not t'other It's different gravy up here re mens football and it's slowly becoming more of a thing in Women's football, too. Sadly.

Agree, but it'd have to be Aberdeen i suppose and then no one else can really go.
