Only got 1 thing to say... Im not playing again if the rules stay the same final!!! I think i speak for most of our team.. peace

Hello guy's it's been a good 4 years with you a lot of good times and some unlucky times but only 2nd season into the tml and im afraid to say i wont be involed in our team no more due to terrable changes in the league this also goes for jamie and paul who couldn't be there on sunday due to been on holliday. the rules have spoiled a perfect 1st season for the tml and ruined how most people think of the game now.

Thanks Geordie.

Isn't that we have been playing for the last few years though?

We've had differing levels of contact from different teams and it is down to the referees and players disgression, if a prop takes a straight drive up he is bound to attract some sort of contact, a bit of shoulder whilst getting the tag "should" and has been fine for the last few years.

On Sunday when the ref established that it was completely non contact, I as well as a fair few others on both sides were made to look stupid by just standing there grabbing with hands simply hoping to find the tags.

interpretation and lack of training. we attempted to use the international rules to set some boundaries for everyone but it seems they have been taken to extremes without common sense.

Having speaking to some Fax and Hull players this seems to be the case and we can move on from this learning curve.

Howdo all

Especially Geordie (who I shall PM)

Given the shambles on Sunday, it is understandable that people are not wanting to repeat the experience!
However, having spoken to Pete I do believe it was simply a problem with interpretation of the new rules. While I still believe it was something which wasnt broken we did need some more exact guidlines as to player conduct. It is my understanding that things are being put in place to sort out the mess, so bear with it, hopefully it was a one off.

Stick at it boys. You're a good set and should remain so. Your MOM was Geordie.
