Re: New Salary Cap Breach?

The statement sets out that the procedure to be followed (eg enhanced investigatory powers) would be the current procedure, but that any penalties applied would be those in force at the time of the breach. I think that's where the confusion in some of the reporting comes from.

I know, right, how dare women have the opportunity to demonstrate their sporting ability? While we're at it, whoever thought it was a good idea to let women act?

That you think 'black lives matter' is a controversial notion says a lot. Irrespective of everything else you've said, I'd say that certain opinions shouldn't be respected, and yours is one of them.

Re: Geordie up before the beak...three week ban!

The bit that got me was the line about the judicial officer having regard to the fact that 'there was no direct impugning of the TMO's integrity' in mitigation.

After all, that's much worse than intimating there is a structural problem with cheating in refereeing. :smt023

Re: Tigers v Saints

Williams is not an 8 for me. Williams is not an 8 period. There are tried and tested options. Assuming Denton is still injured Evans, O'Connor and Thompson have all played there. For balance I would have Evans or O'Connor at 7, Thompson at 8 and Williams at 6. All of those fit are much lighter, the...

Re: Ellis Genge: An Inspiration

My post was more a comment on staff attitudes and the lack of willingness to stretch pupils in state schools. And don't forget, I'm talking about primary age children primarily. Wow - 'lack of willingness'. Guess independent schooling obscures the fact that state schools, its teachers, its budgets ...

Recent one: Matt Smith carrying Chris Ashton 15 metres over the try line.

Re: Tigers v Newcastle Falcons

"Try yes or no."

- Not the last man in the previous ruck
- No conclusive evidence of grounding
- Knees on the floor before taking another go

"I can't see any reason not to award the try" (new question, new answer).

Sorry, .You are judging him when proper judges and a jury found him Not Guilty. That is how justice works. I am also sorry if "laddish" offends you but you have clearly not been on any rugby tours. The motto for which is usually, "what happens on tour, stays on tour". But that m...

Re: Paddy Jackson

Granted, the Irish courts have deemed him and his mates not guilty. A decision which many legal commentators in England and Wales didn’t agree with but nonetheless were found not guilty. His trail was in Belfast, ie the United Kingdom, not in an ‘Irish’ court, whatever that refers too. Crown Courts...

Re: For and against

Agreed; it wasn't that long ago (with Matt O'Connor as head coach, funnily enough) that we were the top team in the league for tries scored off first phase.
