The Union Scrum is something that is in danger. Whilst it might serve a purpose it is also a danger spot that has seen many Neck injuries. Sports have had to change things that were major parts of their game. League the Shoulder Charge has gone. Head collisions and brain damage are a topic that many sports fear including Football. The Union Scrum has changed alot to what it was even a couple of years ago. A number of games, even at International level, has seen uncontested Scrums. Doctors have directed aim at the Union Scrum, especially when youngsters are involved. It could well be that in 20 years time the Union and League Scrums will both be non contested.

The League Scrum is just a way of restarting the game and allows the backs to have some space. The fact that often that chance to play with more space is often wasted is another topic for discussion. We do see the odd push but its rare. I think its a good way to restart the game from a Situation and allows something different than just a Play the Ball restart.

Utter joke,isn't he been promoted not binned anyway ?

Utterly speechless and astonished. What is our game coming to.

Sounds like the holiday pay due to him.

As always when trying to make sense of the RFL more questions than answers..
If he resigned why would he qualify for severance pay then still be employed by the RFL in a no doubt highly paid consultancy role.
Under his tenure we have had dwindling crowds poor media exposure sponsorship mess ups seemingly different Rules for certain Clubs Grass Roots Rugby in Turmoil.
Last Year getting a Salary of £314K + Severance pay of £500.000 knocking for £1 Million
for failure nice work if you can get it no wonder Ralph Rimmer wants the job !!
Heaven help us if he does.
The Rich get Richer the Poorer, p oorer I'm afraid the likes of HX being a top side ever again are increasingly slim

A depressingly correct post from someone who has forgotten more about RL than Wood will ever know.
