Hello All

We have had about 6 or 7 games played so far with some going well and some not going as well.

Tom and I were looking for feedback for a training course and pack that we can give out that will help teams progress.

Yesterday Halifax played Hull, a lot came out of that game and will be delivered.

Points to note: Contact levels - its all about the avoiding of dangerous play and not penalising every form of contact. If a dangerous play happens this is up to the official to use common sense and speak to the teams. Contact will happen is unavoidable but as long as its not dangerous - play on!

Diving for a try - as long as the player is not in tagable distance or again not causing a potential danger.

Fending of the tags - we want to avoid the huge karate type chopping actions, a small tap away is usually deemed fine - again common sense of the official.

These are small notes from yesterday but a course will be held soon.

Regards
