Doing the maths and looking at the number 1-17 (and thats all they are, numbers). If we were to field them all based on squad numbers (starting 17) would the team fielded be the oldest team on average ever to play a Super League game? We certainly have some ageing players.
Need a statistician to help.

You don't need a statistician, you need a hobby.

Subbuteo is the Latin name for the bird the hobby. For a while back in the day, the makers of the infamous soccer game (most of Bongser's players were held together by Sellotape as he generally knelt on those "not in active play" to reach his shot - too short to reach across the playing surface at his then tender age - he is now at a different sort of tender age) decided to bring out a version of the game based on Rugby. Only one kid in the street possessed this abomination (his father was a Salford fan).
The only thing that Bongser recalls of this variant was the scrum. The set contained half of a slightly flattened, plastic oval ball (way out of proportion). One upper inlet for the "real" ball and about six outlets from which the pill would exit randomly. Mind you, scrums were contested then.
Does anyone remember the game and can jog Bongser's addled memory as to any of the other rules?
He, too, needs a hobby  |

I actually had the rugby subbuteo (and the the football). I used airfix glue on mine not tape though.
As for the rules, I'm struggling to remember them clearly. I remember a pass had to hit the player you were passing to or it was a knock on, I also remember the scrum as you describe, but I'm struggling to remember how a player was deemed tackled on a run. I do remember the conversions being a big player with a kicking action that you did by flicking his head back to bring the foot forward to kick the ball. The other thing I remembers was that Leyth always won 
Quick edit: a quick t'internet search reveals full rules on a website done by Peter Upton. peter-upton.co.uk.
Way more interesting than Marios original poke at the team by the way.

Perhaps Mario should change his name to Pokemon. |

No but they give 100% and don't keep getting penalised for holding down when we have a team under pressure

Quite possibly , but they also don't get penalised for forward passes or for high tackles in Wigan/Leeds case
We lost a game because we played poorly , it happens , why haven't Widnes won a game up to yesterday ? , probably because they haven't given 100% and held teams down when they were putting them under pressure |

Maybe we should also use the Widnes tactic of turning scrums into a game of which player can be injured this time, and end up with them taking as long as Union scrums
