Quote: Double Movement "Do you think we've got some knocks or is Richard Horne rotating to give everyone some game time?

The Dons website says Pauli Pauli has got a one match ban. Was this carried over from the end of last season but didn't apply to the 1895 cup?

Adam's team doesn't look too far off what I think Richard Horne might go with although I think he'll play Craig Hall on the wing and Elliot Hall at full-back.'"


It relates to the Midlands game

The rule states that the ball shall be put into the scrum from the referees side by holding it in a horizontal position with a point in each hand and rolling along the ground into the tunnel formed by the front row forwards.

Nothing would turn me off rugby league more than slowing the scrums down; it is the single most frustrating thing about watching Rugby Union.

Generally speaking most scrums are fed according to the rules, the tunnel is formed by a props legs so they hold their near side leg back and widen the tunnel, as long as the ball is in front of that, regardless of the direction the ball is going, that rule is met. There's nothing that says it needs to be placed in the centre of that tunnel or perpendicular to the scrum.

If the referees are adhering to the rules why dont they ever penalise the player who feeds the ball into the scrum with one hand.

Quote: Jemmo "Nothing would turn me off rugby league more than slowing the scrums down; it is the single most frustrating thing about watching Rugby Union.'"

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Even by the 1980s, most players had worked out "spoiling tactics" at scrums to cause delays/disrupt the scrum, and they were really hard to police even then, and coaching methods are a lot more sophisticated now.

As an example, here's a scrum that formed in the last minute of the 1983 CC semi final between Featherstone and Bradford (starts at around 33:15). As a Fev fan whose team was winning I thought it was a thing of beauty at the time, but honestly it was a proper mess and by no means unusual, my strongest memory of scrums in the 1980 is of constant similar collapses and a bit of an arbitrary wrestle for the ball from the scrum halves.
