Doesn't look like it.

As always Griff the last word is yours.

John , like you , Charlie will be at GF no matter who is playing , I just feel a Fax v Leigh Final would be a good spectacle , along with a very good crowd puller ,and be a good game of Rugby , and maybe provide the Final the game deserves ,Charlie knows .

What did you tell me to do with "The Griff" HJ.

Press the ignore button.

Can you imagine him negotiating for world peace.

The meeting would start with a tensions running high, representatives from all the nations are present, after hours and hours of talks concessions are on the table and real progress is being made.

Proposals are slowly being agreed to and the UN is ready to make the big announcement.

"Peace in our time!!!!" Peace in out time!!!" ( And a bonus point for whoever disarms first.

)

And then Griff walks in and Armaggedon follows just a few hours later.

Charlie thinks the Bonus Point , is a misunderstanding of the idea to play more positive and keep the result fully intentional for the full 90 minutes , if any other options are obtainable , some like to see this in place , and some benefit from it more than others , I think you at Fax are more see through , and will obtain the ideas to show its right .

And that sums up what it was intended to do as the "incentive" Charlie, as with everything some will like it and some will not.

I can see the arguments both for and against.

On the one hand the reward isn't for losing as such but for not throwing the towel in.

(Along the way keeping the game competative for as long as possible and the supporters interested.)

On the other hand any team who needs an incentive not to throw the towel in doesn't deserve anything.

(Along the way showing they have guts and a no surrender attitude keeping the supporters behind them from a different perspective.)

Make your own minds up and agree to disagree.

90 minutes ? Acorn juice ?

Lost 5, 1 bonus point, 3rd in the league,
If we had a bonus point for the other 4 loses, where would we be in the League.
3rd.
So as the Aldi advert says "on the one hand I like the bonus point, on the other I don't"



Me? it's there, lets get on with it.
Ever the diplomat, ask Griff.

Francis as you may well know they have now changed my Medication , im now on Draught Minestrone , by introvenus drip ,and it clouds the mind and impairs the judgement .

Any road, Dave, you were saying .......... ?



Second and third from bottom in the bottom division have changed places.

That's all.

So it did make a difference then if only to Gateshead and South Wales?



PS Glad to see that you checked out the Champ 1 table this year.









PPS When do you fancy that beer?

1. Missing the point, Dave.

2. Just the one difference last year, too, as I recall.

3. When you can fit yourself into my busy lifestyle.

Fevgrinder, are you off to Sheffield to watch the Fax game on friday ?

1. Nope not missing the point, just making another

2. Correct the one you missed

3. Don't we all wish we we're as funny



But the offer of a beer and chat about all things RL is an honest one (as you know), just let me know when you have the lime in your busy life.

MM - I am defo up for that, will see you there!

Funny ?



It's a fact - as discussed in previous pms. Your obligations and mine don't match up. I don't intend to discuss it further on open forum.

Your right, best withdraw gracefully.

John, give me a shout if your at the game tonight and I'll come and say hello.

I wouldn't blame you for not turning out tonight Fevgrinder with the weather being as it is & not even your own team playing, even so, i'll try to bump into you. I texted Ginge last night but he's cried off, bloody social workers

I'll be there Gov will give you a ring when I get to the ground - Fish and Chip tea now

Nice to see you again pal ( and the lad ), it must have been so relaxing for you sat watching as a neutral tonight. War of attrition in the 1st half & I think we really dominated the 2nd half.


Grif: Back on topic, the bonus point..... oh aye, there isn't one for losing by more than 12 points and certainly NOT in a knock-out game

Good to see you too, got to share a beer with Bentleyman and see HJ answering his phone while eating his chips one handed, you can't get better entertainment anywhere



I may just have to come to the Shay in a couple of weeks to keep me sen entertained! Enjoy the week off.

Oh, I was simply playing to my audience, using HalifaxJohn & his eating habits as my fun-thing LOL. How he didn't spill those chips while answering his mobile using the same hand must be an art form....


"What, no pies" ?

Colin, Dave, I had 2 bags of chips.
