<t>We live in Solihull in the west midlands, as we live just a few minutes from birmingham airport we normally fly direct to Perpignan, flights are expensive but the biggest drawback is the flight schedule, just two inconvenient flights a week. This year we that is I decided to go by train. Cheap re...

Well just seen Eliot Whithead take a serious knock. Exactly as my post. The no shoulder charge rule is responsible, get rid.
good luck Eliot, hope you are OK.

<t>I've never countenanced the cowardly shoulder charge by a big player on a little player but the shoulder charge is a natural part of the aggression fundemental in our great game. <br/> The only way to avoid the penalty ensuing from an agressive tackle though apparently is to tackle head on face t...

<t>I think there are several valid points here but the attendances are only going to get worse if something is not done now about the exodus of too many of our great players to the RFU and NRL.<br/> I cannot understand the mentality of Mike Stevenson who constantly says that he is happy, indeed enth...

<t>Yes I agree, of course the shoulder charge should be banned, and ban long boot places which could whip round and cause terrible wheel injuries to someone’s shin, I really think that long hair should be also banned for the same reason.

I don’t believe his assistant has anything at all to contribute. The man to learn from has long gone back down under, too late to start the cli...

<t>With all the celebrities in the world on board the, BEEB will never be successful in providing good RL outside broad casts for the following reason.<br/> A very good friend of mine, an O.B. camera Person working at the game openly admits of knowing nothing about the game and therefore is never in...

<r>I haven't heard how Scott Grix is after his meeting with Kirk Yeaman on Sunday, I hope he is o.k.<br/> What a tackle! there was absolutely no malice in the tackle, just perfect timing and focus. The only problem I have is with the referee or more precisely the third referee, cow towing to Kevin B...

<t>The business of whether or not the ball is on / touching the line is really nonsense.<br/> If we are taking the rules to this degree of accuracy then we must ensure that every blade of grass is the same length and that they are all leaning the same way, that the grounds-man uses a theodoilite and...
