SamDrew Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Meeting of clubs & authorities today, about scrums & vaccines. Apparently the 85% threshold has been hit Any more news on this? With the lower booster uptake in younger age cohorts, I presume 'fully vaxd' doesn't mean boostered in this context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Horseman Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 With the season set to start in ten days' time (for the Championship anyway), that doesn't give coaching staff much time to work on scrummaging technique... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the occassional set play I can't say I've ever noticed much 'technique' in scrums other than trying to make them look as messy as possible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graveyard johnny Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 with the nrl never having suspended scrums playing without them this season then facing them under international rules in the wc using scrums would have resulted in disaster see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Good . Endless tap penalties get very samey and tedious . With the WC it has to be done . I think set restarts should be cutback as well Edited January 20, 2022 by DavidM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What technique, i thought it was Half Back in and out, time for teams to start making them competitive and not just a waste of time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Browny Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Good. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Guest Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 2 minutes ago, northamptoncougar said: What about the community game? When do they return to the amateur level? According to FEV The Board have therefore accepted a recommendation from the RFL Executive for scrums to return – in all competitions, starting next weekend (29-31 January) in Round One fixtures in the Betfred Championship and the Second Round of the Betfred Challenge Cup. This will also apply across the Community Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jughead Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Don’t see the point of scrums any longer. I mean, they were properly redundant anyway seeing as it is, the majority of the time, they’re a nice breather and a cuddle and nothing more. Watching fullbacks pack in at loose forward will become tiresome inside 40 minutes of the first game of the season. The six again rule was the problem. It wasn’t really the answer once it was implemented, it just didn’t work as hoped or expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep agree with all that, now that they have brought scrums back go the whole way and make them competitive once more by insisting the ball is put into the tunnel and not feeding it behind the front rows feet. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Skipper Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Daryl Powell was vocal in his dislike of how the lack of scrums took a lot of exciting set plays out of the game. I hope he sets to work on some fancy RL moves now. Looking forward to seeing Cats, Warrington, Leeds and HKR in that respect. Maybe Woolf and Wane will get in on the act too. 1 “There is perhaps no better a demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.” Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
