I can play. Home or Away?

Ditto me.

Where is it?

The game is at Morley with the return leg at Rawdon in July

Team will be chosen from those turning up on the night BUT with priority given to those who are up-to-date with subs!
Sam, that's you at the end of the list then!

I'll be free to play and so will Arran. Sam "magic ring" Haywood will be coming but u think he owe's some subs so i'll tell him to bring them down

Cheers Danny!

btw, did you mean "Magic Circle" or is this a private joke??

Suggest that if we have big numbers of players we have a couple of 7s games and a mini tournament.

Just to clarify a couple of things rules wise Rawdon play exactly the same way as us but don't have the rule where if the dummy half gets tagged it's 5th and last. They also don't allow kicking above head height. Other than that it's much the same.

I think you might have the pleasure of my company in an officiating capacity Sam, so I'll need a quick update at some point on the ever changing rules of tag rugby.

Is there still the one about Gareth never being offside irrespective of where he stands?

Sounds good to me.

It's basically the same as we've always played except:

1. Scoring side kicks off.
2. All kicks to be below head height (though if the ball bounces and then goes above head height this is ok).
3. When receiving a kick the catcher/receiver must be given space to pick the ball up (this is 5 yards on a full pitch so suggest you use your own discretion).
4. Dummy half runner can scoot and be tagged without it becoming 5th and last.



Yep that ones in along with the following:

Gareth can put the shoulder in and commit ball and all tackles on the opposition whenever he's too knackered to go for a tag.

Halftime must be long enough for Gareth to smoke a fag.

Bloody hell, I have to be respectful to you for an hour or two..................sir.

You're always a pleasure to officiate Gareth, I particularly like the way you provide so much verbal assistance in decision making

Well played tonight lads. Sorry for being rather late (work) and not much use when I got there! I was pretty well making up the numbers and not doing very well at that



Looking forward to having a good crack at them on the return leg. See you all next week...

Well done last night lads, to lose 9-11 to a team with all those playmakers and quick runners was a great effort. If it hadn't have been for the slow start we might have had em.

Shame the rules discussed above went out of the window from the kick off!

Memo to self. Clarify rules with ref before kick off rather than assuming he's read it on here!

Those rules are actually what Rawdon usually play so the rules were beneficial to LL.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game, especially the abuse I received from the Lost Loiners.

You certainly put yourself about!

There was no way he should've ever given you that ball, was it John or Chris, I can't recall? Anyway, blame them, it was an invitation too good to miss.

It was Chris

I'm flattered at the suggestion you think I might pass the ball

Or alternatively, ref them yourself.

I don't think he meant it as a criticism of you Andy.

Gawd no! More of a criticism of myself Mr Gilder!
