I take it by Sean Tompkins you actually mean Sam Tomkins.

It's obvious that many posts are from union fans giving a union point of view. You have to remember this terribly unfortunate accident happened in a game of league. The usual procedure for such an incident is to award a penalty and put the offending player on report. Whereas is union this...

Started playing league aged 11/12 at school. Joined the army at 16 and carried on playing. In my teens I represented the army at junior level. But by my early 20's injury, work and alcohol had got the better of me so I only ever played at regimental level. I played prop and 2nd row. But been...

No Ryan hall aka WBW? Disgrace!!

When you say priest can it be a religious preacher in general. Or do they have to be Christian? And if so, you never specified when denomination.

I think comparing Farrell and sexton is a little unfair. One is 22 and still learning and developing his game. The other is 28 and in the prime of his career. They are both undoubtedly the best the NH has to offer however. Sexton has played number 10 of the successful Leinster side. A...

Why should it be the same? They're completely different sports. Why don't golf and snooker have the same scoring system too?

I've a good rule. If you catch the ball on the full in your own 22 you essentially have an advantage play until you pass or cross halfway. Help encourage running rugby and punish rubbish kicks and kick chases. It needs a little refinement, but it could work.

Do you know if there gonna reduce the value of a drop goal too?

On the flip side. If you were to increase a pen in league to 3 points. They would still more than likely go for touch. The restart is essentially uncontested. So reduces the risk of a turnover.

Are you trying to invent a new game? Why not a triangular pitch and have 3 teams play at the same time?

Very true. But 2 points for a pen would still punish the undisciplined teams. But I reckon as your not getting such an award teams would only go for the sticks if the chances of converting were high. Coming in from the side On the halfway line and then conceding over half the value of a try...

As I wrote the word "dominate" I questioned myself if it was the correct choice of word. But I couldn't be bothered to delete it and think of a more appropriate word. I would just rather a team kick to touch and go for the 5 points over the 3. It would make the game much more entertaining. And...

Benji Marshall

Changing the size of the pitch would ruin the game. It would be easier to kick deep, so teams would kick even more. There would be less room for the backs to express themselves so it would become a forward orientated game. Also the original post isn't to clear. But it seems your suggesting...

I would consider reducing the value of pens to 2points and drop goals to 1point like league. It then would perhaps stop teams from just going for the sticks everytime you get a pen within 40m. Some players can take getting on for 2mins to take the kick. It also seems quite unfair to me that a...

SBW will be back soon. Can we put him in?

Throw some money in Danny brough's direction.

Give benji marshal time and he will be in that list. That is if plays FB and not 10

I think you misunderstand my point. I was never saying one code is harder or my physical than the other. They both have there merits. I never picked up a major injury whist playing league. But since I've been playing union I've separated my shoulder and ruptured my ACL ( I think that's more to...
