    @Daffy-Jaffy Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If Brad Weber is still in the ABs in 2020, I'd love to have Mathewson back with the Magpies as a back-up for Fakatava (who should start). His experience will be valuable in the squad, esp if we lose some of our other older players.

    Maybe Sunwolves, too.

    @Stargazer He laced up his boots for the Magpies way back in 2013 or thereabouts before shunning us for the Western Force. By all means get him involved in the coaching/technical side of things as from memory can't recall him setting the world on fire in the black and white hooped jersey all those years ago so it might be better in investing in future prospects when it comes to members of the playing squad.

      Pat Lam has a Semi!
      Semi Radradra signs for Bristol Bears
      Semi: "I’m looking forward to be playing under Pat Lam at #BristolBears. They are one of the most exciting teams in Europe right now and the way that they are doing things is making everybody take notice."

      Radradra and Piatau in the same backline should be worth a look!

              My son has been doing that to me for years. Next year should be his first year actually pushing in scrums (Under 12).

                  @Daffy-Jaffy loved the comment:

                  Important to start them scrumming young or they’ll become backs.

                  TR Jnr and I do that as a scrumming exercise (he is a prop/hooker) to get his core stability and technique, although I dont let him win!

                        Dan Evans red carded in the first minute

                        Similar to Nabura’s red for the Highlanders last year

                          @Duluth I don't see a problem with the red card. That's a kick to the face - he extends it on the way down at the arriving player.

                            Unlucky but clumsy.

                            Red card by the guidelines.

                                Is that really interesting? If you isolated kicking or running metres, maybe. But added together it's commonsense.

                                    What do you think the ref decided/should have decided?

                                    This is what the ref decided:

                                    :::

                                    The ref disallowed the "try". The reports in the media differ on the reason why the ref disallowed the try, but this is what Law 8.20 says:

                                    If the team indicates to the referee the intention to kick at goal, they must kick at goal.
                                    The intention to kick can be communicated to the referee or signalled by the the arrival of the kicking tee or sand, or when the player makes a mark on the ground.

                                      @Stargazer yeah, what you said. That rule has been around since i was playing U21s because we tried it, and the ref instantly said "no dice"

                                        Correct decision by the ref, especially as the kicking tee is used.

                                        I've had this discussion at games where a player could point "towards" the post but say to the ref they aren't having a kick for goal. This is very different as they aren't kicking from a tee.

                                          What do you think the ref decided/should have decided?

                                          This is what the ref decided:

                                          :::

                                          The ref disallowed the "try". The reports in the media differ on the reason why the ref disallowed the try, but this is what Law 8.20 says:

                                          If the team indicates to the referee the intention to kick at goal, they must kick at goal.
                                          The intention to kick can be communicated to the referee or signalled by the the arrival of the kicking tee or sand, or when the player makes a mark on the ground.

                                          :::

                                          Good.

                                          And the kicker should havd had a YC.

                                          Nipped there and then.
