With no scrums and six again, you need pace, fitness and creativity, we have very little of all these.

The 6 again rule needs scrapping. It is not applied consistently, and is quite often used for minor infringements, when the ref would not otherwise have awarded a penalty.
I'm not saying this with B&W specs on either. I have watched a lot of RL and seen it awarded, and more annoyingly, not awarded in a very random way. The best way to improve SL would be to go to two refs on the field, but with the dearth of good officials, that is very unlikely to happen.

Imagine Child’s and Kendall on the pitch all the game, and Thaler as the video ref.

Six again is an unmonitored excuse to punish, like the refs personal joker card.

I hope next season we return to a semblance of normality,

Any legs to the Sneyd to Cas rumours?

I saw someone on twitter a few months ago saying Eden, Sene-Lefao and Shenton as a 3 player swap for Sneyd, can't see that happening though. Sene-Lefao would be a useful player but don't think we'd want Shenton and Eden?

Most know my thoughts on Sneyd, but it shouldn't happen unless we have a replacement, which would be hard with limited quota spors available and not many decent available British halfbacks.

Cas have 2 better halfbacks plus Richardson.

But Radford does seem to want to recruit from Hull.

Can't see a lot of Cas fans been happy if that happens, they seem to have a massive chip on their shoulders when it comes to Sneyd.

JSL and Shenton are OOC.

I just see it as a complete non starter, unless we have someone crazy lined up

Re: What now? : Fri Sep 03, 2021 5:38 pm  

I thought Shenton was retiring .
