Quote: St Helens Wolf "I have virtually the same degree (I don't have the word 'applied' in mine), unfortunately it didn't make me a good rugby player. The last game that I played (15 a-side code) was for the Leeds University Physics Society - Undergraduates vs. Staff. Not necessarily the highest calibre game, but at least we did understand the 'momentum' rule (and it's got b*gger all to do with momentum since the player's mass doesn't enter into the equation).
Didn't Mark Hilton take a First in Mathematics from the OU? Still tried, and more often than not failed, to run through brick walls rather than going around them.'"
My first degree was only Electronics, so I bow to your greater knowledge, but doesnt the ball have mass and therefore possess momentum p = mv at the velocity of the ball carrier?
Stevo coined the phrase (it isn't in the RFL rulebook) it all relates to frame of reference anway.
