Blimey Fred - you'll be wanting the RFL to consider supporters' views next!

Heaven forbid

now now Alan you know in their eyes we don't exist but a players view well????

Why would you want players comments on law changes, they play to them rather than make them?

Well as players now sit on the discipline panel one would think that anyone with a modicum of sense would have consulted them after all it is a democracy we live in, but people are happy with a facist like point of view well.....

Sorry Fred but I disagree with you , the players have been consulted over the last few months ..... granted it was NRL players though but hey ho it's the Aussies who call the tune these days and we dance along and follow like sheep .

I'm glad the shoulder charge has gone because with the size and bulk of todays players the only point of it was to cause as much damage to the ball carrier as possible rather than to effect a tackle and sooner or later someone was going to get seriously hurt .

Now where did I put that owd " How to tackle properly " book ? .

I don't see what democracy had to do with sport's rules and laws. Sportsmen play to whatever laws are pertaining at the time, it they don't like them then they don't play. BTW the word you are looking for is 'fascist'.

It seems whatever the Australians do we follow . On a different note why do people feel the need to pick up on posters spelling mistakes

Insults should always be accurate.

Well said that man



Though I consider my spelling isn't to bad I dont pick up on other posters mistakes as I think it's a bit rude and smarmy , as long as I can get a gist of what is being said I couldn't give a monkeys how it's put .

PS ...... Look at the time it was posted El Fredo may have had a night on the sherry to help thaw him out

Reffy , whilst your being pedantic about other users grammar could you amend your post so that it makes sense ? , you asked a question then supply the answer and then use a question mark ??????? , it should have been used after the question you posed not after you answered it !!! :

Just thought I'd help you out

Thanks for your help but it was correct as written, the comma was used as a seperator with the question mark at the end were it belongs.

Amongst other grammatical mistakes you have used a question mark and a comma together, why is that?

I may have spelt it wrong but if you read it wrong don't judge others by your own obviously poor standards, I never imply anything I always say/write it straight.

Pardon me if I take the view of a current international player than someone who doesn't /won't/can't be bothered to post under their own name

Are only the views of current international players valid on this forum? And the view of yourself of course?

I didn't read your post wrong, you were quite clear in your comments.

As my niece would say 'WHATEVER' I will let those who know me judge what I wrote, I have better things to do then argue with idiots on here, now I know why I don't come on here as often as I did.

Where?

Good spot



I possibly meant were as in where it used to be.

Is there a hoist and petard handy.

Was tonights game any less exciting for the banning of the shoulder charge?
I never noticed it was missing tbh.

It really is wrong to use a question mark followed by a comma. A question mark is the same as a full stop and you can't start a new sentance with a comma.

Well technically you can' if you want but it is not grammatically correct.

I know everything



Off topic tonights' game was well worth watching.

It was a cracking game marred as usual by the antics of the idiots with the microphones, Hemmings proved what an absolute prat he is with no feel for the game at all.

Really?

Of course. I happen to have a wrist injury clicked a instead of the e.

Wasn't going to comment' as I never say anything and' I would prefer not to have sympathy in this instance.

OK then, sympathy withheld.

I don't really listen to what they say when play is going on but I much prefer Phills comments to Eddie's and Stevo's. Phill's enthusiasm for his sport comes across in his comentary when it's a good game and lack of it when it's a bad game. Apart from that swing meter tripe he is the best they have.

There are plus and minus points for banning the shoulder charge tackle. The plus points are the welfare of the attacking player. I think it will be easier to offload the ball without this - and no shots above the shoulder - as the attacking player will be more confident being more upright in the tackle. The minus point for me is the welfare of the defender who now has to keep his hands and shoulders lower thus leaving him open to attacking players forearms and elbows. I think we will see more facial injuries to the defending player.
