For me Will made bad commentary mostly because he missed all the shuster vs barben fight. Otherwise fuck yeah will rock it, he knows "one second before people what they gonna do". For me the only real bad move is the hack from Greg and that's not the hugest I saw, Andy can avoid it also because he know that they are both goin in a kind of dirty mood. By the way all the move that Greg are putting are pretty easy to avoid by using a forearm check to make some space around. This kind of polo is fine to me, nothing happen at high speed and all the pick, blocks, small whip are not so hard to avoid ou counter...
Reffing was just not here, and even with really good one I think only the slashing can be count, the other aren't fool or so small and hidden that nobody can wistle for that before 1000 years.
About the way you Londonian people play... i hope that if greg come close to you like that you gonna kick his ribs a lil' bit...
In Geneva we play pick ups in a different way than tourney one, or when we play harder we all agree about it before the game start. I think you can't play polo at one high level without being ready to get some bike on bike contact at low speed at least.
By the way, hooking not hacking (and the rik version "Roookin' not Rakiin') is a rule that london should fight for. Im all for this and stop slashing. Most of the mallets contact should be from behind to top, and when they aren't this way should be made without excessive force.
