or sometimes I just add an extra minute just to wind them up :ROFLMAO:

just as an Aside, I was at my local RL Club last week and an attempt at a short 10M kick didn't go 10 but a defender caught the ball within the 10 and was penalised for doing so! Checked their rules and the ref was right! I never knew that

Had a 65-5 game last week so the young visiting stand off had plenty of kick off practice. No matter how many times I hinted to kick it the other way or grubber it he ignored me and kept dollying it up to the 22 where the opposition just ran it straight back.🤷‍♂️

An Earlier than usual appointment this week. Creighton V Whitehaven, Cumbria L7. Should be a bit closer than last weeks 65-5. Another train ride but getting a ticket that allows me to do different routes after Norther Fail cancelled 2 of my planned trains home last week!

The number of times professional hookers are standing inside the line of touch can't be accidental. At this level it must be practiced and they are gaining some sort of advantage. It needs world rugby to sort it out..

Is the Bunker working to speed up the game, the answer is yes. Game time v Elapsed time I'm not too fussed about as long as a decision is made within the players 10 minute original yellow.

Wigton v Keswick 2 Cumbria L7. Nice little train ride up the coast and a few beers:)🍻🏉

The worse one of the 3 is the South African one without a doubt yet it went unsanctioned. Assume there will be a citing

oh and next time mate don't say the ball went out exactly on the 22 or the half way line! :ROFLMAO:

I watch NRL and Super rugby highlights on you tube so I miss out the boring bits in both codes. One thing that baffles me in RL is why do defending wingers come in so regularly and leave an overlap allowing tries? I was always coached to stay with your winger until the last possible moment...

We've just been informed Silloth have pulled out of Cumbria league L7 as they can't raise a team. Very sad state of affairs. Lost Furness last year, and in previous years, Netherhall, Moresby, Greengarth plus a couple of others in the 80s/90s. At least half the clubs in the county only running 1...

Well, a nice gentle start, L 9 Kirkby Lonsdale 2 v Eccles 2.

I've reffed 2 and watched 1 in pre season. It's not really been an issue. Some early reminders and penalties about tackle height and dipping late and low but nothing of significance to affect the games.

I've done that too Mipper. Problem is if it's a league game, names have to be put on the system (is it still GMS?) and if there is an incident where someone is sent off or badly injured in a game, it could be a major issue for the teams and the ref who have allowed this to happen against the...

But I wish they would allow more. Up here many clubs only running one adult team at L7 so plenty of players have nowhere to get a game!

Of course they do. fortunately still more or less at my playing days weight. Didn't bother with them but at least 8 pairs, all 32" waist :ROFLMAO:

A number of clubs in Cumbria use them. I usually get a link which shows how bad my positioning is ;) For general performance of team and ref I think they are a useful tool. Not sure how much use they are for detailed performance/decisions or discipline as they don't zoom in too close. Also when...

Thought I'd get this going again. Windermere v Buxton Pre-season Friendly Saturday, my 22nd season reffing. Anyone in the lakes for the weekend? Come and have a pint. Had my first run out last week, Kirkby Lonsdale v Carlisle. No major issues with new tackle laws. Checked my kit beforehand. Do...

I know that Ian. I'm talking about just liking a post without commenting ;) (y)

Nope hasn't worked. Tried in google chrome and microsoft edge :((n)
