Same as us - 14 round season (7 home, 7 away). Got a wet weather week in there (Georgia Test weekend) and then 3 rounds of finals.
@NTA Gee fellas we finished round robin here in the Naki, (and a lot of NZ), one of beauties or otherwise of club rugby being played to suit farming life. Calving/lambing season just starting to get going, so all the cockies gotta be home for milking soon. Also of course NPC can then start August.

down by 6 at fulltime....captain drives over in the corner....vice captain slots form the sideline despite the cacophony of booing from the other team and supporters

Opposition lineout in the second half near our 22. Our front jumper gets up and knocks it back on our side, and I'm standing at hooker.
You know how time slows down when you're in danger? I'm looking at the ball on the deck and in bullet-time, I'm thinking "That's in the mud. I'm going to dive on that and then get someone either kick me, step on me, or land on me".
So I dove on the ball and when trying to place it back have a 130kg Fijian land on me. Outrage from my team mates and I start kicking around at the fat fuck. He decides to punch me as I'm getting to my feet. Ref missed it all BUT the home side AR apparently missed everything.
The same guy who missed our hooker getting spear tackled in Round 4.

@NTA i assume there is no footage? we've been very lucky and a young data scientist has volunteered his time this so films all our matches that rugby vic dont stream and does individual player stats
also helps with incidents. we're not club the cites players, very much a leave it on the pitch vibe. our game form sat though, we have found out they are citing one of our guys, he was carded for retaliation (opposition was basically strangling him on the ground so he threw a punch)....they think it should be more apparently...so now in our reply we'll be sending about 10 mins of footage of every dirty cheap shot (including a full tip tackle right on the head the ref completely missed) they committed including the strangling

@Kiwiwomble there should be BUT the camera stream seems to be missing for that period.
Thing is I don't know if I connected or whether anything is visible from that angle, so I could be in just as much trouble

full respect for still committing to the ball despite the almost crippling fear :winking_face: ....he says safely from the sideline

@Kiwiwomble not a good look if a Board Member gets booked :grimacing_face:

i imagine you'll get a glowing endorsement form the board though!
we have a card early in the year get reduced from 6-3 weeks at least partially because i got on to explain all the stuff said player does around the club other than playing....didn't know that was a thing but i jumped on it when they asked

I not sure if this discussion should be on this thread, but what the hell is this schmozzle happening with Easts in Shute Shield. Exceeded the allowable points of players in a couple of games, and being treated as 'whoops we made a mistake' sorry about that, and no penalty?
From reading from afar looks to be pretty iffy, almost like a favoured club scenario. -

@Machpants it was both ends too, so weird....want to believe it they thought that was right....but no sports have posts just behind the line do they?

@mariner4life its still a line going through it, didn;t say THE goal line, hell...the dead ball line would have made more sense to me as far as a full on mistake

I'm surprised WR hasn't adopted the solution of permitting goal posts to be moved. Only last week while warming up with some touch footy, one of our players munted himself colliding with a post. Then new grounds and improvements could slowly get them out of the way. As it is you can't score against the base of them anymore and there'd be the benefit of not having as many penalties attempted from over halfway.

@Dan54 allowable points of players? like too many players on the bench or something
"and now we turn to our local NSW club football correspondent @NTA....."

This is purely a Premier Rugby thing here in Sydney as far as I can tell.
Players are given a points value depending on things like whether they're a test or pro player etc. You get discounts if you're a local junior and such.
The idea is like a salary cap - even playing field. Sample sheet:
