Quote: Exiled down south "Any after match interviews with Wardy? Be interesting to hear his thoughts.'" Interesting what he said over the Armitage yellow card. Essentially in RU if the ball hits the corner flag & comes back onto the field of play it's play on which is why Armitage kicked it dead & thus done for dissent. I have no idea if that rule is correct or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRMCiyzh1uM

Yes, it was noticeable when York brought the likes of Green on that London struggled.

If Allgood plays next week and you start Butler as well as Battye ie one of them nominally plays at 13, you will probably be a bit more solid up the middle.

The irony is we went to the opposite extreme, Parata, who I thought would love the artificial pitch, was injured so we went with a prop (Bussey) playing hooker for about 70 minutes, but it worked.

Correct in RU if the ball bounces off corner flag without otherwise being in touch or touch-in-goal then play continues unless it was grounded against the post.

I was stood very near the incident and Armitage was clearly confused. I assume the ref was justified in issuing a yellow but it was very soft .

He was playing union until recently..... He's a pro league player now... Learn the rules

To be fair there are some seasoned RL pros who don't know all the rules. Fev nearly lost a game a few years ago because having just taken the lead with a drop out, one of our players didn't realise you can't gather a short kick off until it has gone 10m, even if you are the defending team, fortunately our opponents missed the resulting penalty.

Other rules some RL players don't seem to know...
You can't take a 20m tap if all your own players aren't back behind the 20m line.
The tap following a 40-20 kick takes place from 20m in not 10m in (some refs seem to forget this too).

Armitage actually said he didn't know the rules! He had already been warned about a similar thing earlier in the game

Squad is not strong or deep enough to challenge the main side in the league (Toulouse, Leigh and Fev).

The rumours have been confirmed. We have signed Ed Chambers on loan from Salford, for one month.

What rumours were those?

Agreed.
If we make the top half it'll be a good season, top 5 an excellent season.
2020 for me is for rebuilding, blooding some young 'uns and maybe having a real crack at promotion in 2021.

Even more of a shame we didn't enter the 1895 Cup if we are blooding youngsters and not caring too much about the league this year

I think we care about the league, I just dont think we have a strong enough squad. Some decent recruitment but not enough (for me) to win it. Bit like last season and staying up. Just did not have enough in the squad, despite how well we done. I think we will make the top 5, we will be too strong for most, just not enough when it matters.

Not sure why you say we don't care about the league.
If that's case what do we care about? 1895 cup is an interesting one, there are constant calls a cross sport to reduce the number of games over a season, so why introduce another cup. I think I am correct in that all pro teams are obliged to enter the CC. Catalan and Toronto have a get out because of governing body stuff.
So for us, our focus has to be the league
