Generally a good top of the table game at Halifax yesterday -As a past coach I was anti the new tackle law but having watch games at this level over recent weeks and seen the injuries I have now changed my mind . The sooner it comes in and the mindset of the tackler is changed the sooner the better, there were tackles yesterday that should have been  automatic red cards and if the new tackle laws has to be brought in to stop this , so be it !

BRB - has a valid point in local games. I appreciate we will struggle to return to a structure before the leagues and the game itself is far a more structured affair, But having played rugby before and after leagues  in the 80’s and 90’s (and a coach in the last 15years) I didn't find the rugby any less competitive prior to the leagues being introduced. OK I can hear some saying “you’re an old fart” but the local rugby that BRB talks about and the derbies  it entailed were far better than the current set up,  with rivalries that often outweighed anything you’d get in league rugby today let alone the revenue these often generated.  Yes, there were teams that aspired to something more and we played them in the Cup competition and often chalked up some notable victories. Maybe there is scope to return to the past as suggested for teams below a certain level but I may be on my own in thinking that,  but I do feel we are going full circle with teams that want leagues at higher level and teams that don’t, but the current situation cannot prevail.

It happens every year with the 6 Nations and they don’t change the fixture dates, it is what it is and you play with the 15 you can put out.

Referring to you Mods Otley comment. So bitter Pom I would suggest you take stock yourself instead of blaming everyone else for your shortcomings
