Hey stu, sorry man, Antonio from London has already jumped in.
On another note.
Can I please get some help with the Newmarket tournament. I've rearranged a provisional date of the 13-14 September. Just need help chasing sponsors again.

Me and Rob are going to play in Lo together, would anyone like to be our third? We're both keen to play with new people.

I'm working :(.

On another note, would anybody like to play with myself and Rob stoner at the London open?

I'd like to make a team to try for wildcard.

Not in. Forgot to bring my bike etc to work :(z

How about cards for referees? Two might not be enough slack to keep the game going but three maybe? Least then you'd have a way of keeping tabs on players accumulating dick moves throughout a game. Could also label specific fouls and what the punishment should be.

I think mallet on mallet banning would suck and take fun from the game. Maybe allowing contact for the lower 10 inches? It'll Keep it in the game but get rid of the bullshit hooking moves

The hooking thing doesn't seem to be an issue here, or isn't perceived as one, so I doubt anything would change on that.

Maybe players have gotten too used to it? I hate seeing an attacker pass a defender, only to be stopped by desperate dirty moves, same go's when a defender wins the ball with a well timed like poke check, only to get pulled off the bike, or a mallet smashed from hand.

The NAH rules will almost certainly contain a crease next year. It's not been a priority until now, as it's not a very North American problem (you rarely see true double goalie here). This year we fixed some of our bigger problems (dangerous contact, etc...)

That may or may not affect Europe next year, depending which way the committee decides to go.

That's good to hear. How about a ban on mallet contact a fixed height up the shaft (mark with paint/tape etc)?
I like the idea of a Yellow and red card system so it's easier for referees to enforce 30 second penalties.

Fantastic weekend.
I'm not gonna repeat any bitching about boards etc.

I do feel that the rule set needs a serious re-think though (euro committee?) the later stages of Saturday featured some stunning polo with amazing tactics, well thought out plays and incredible individual skill. However, it always seems to dwindle out and favour the triple D, goalie-fuck, retreat, repeat format. Don't get me wrong, there was some lush polo in the final, but the rule set means that it very rarely rewards the team with goals.
So-
Some kind of crease HAS to be introduced- double goalies are just shit.
Mallet contact needs updating. Goalie interference isn't aloud in any other sport and you shouldn't be aloud to chop and hook away at someone's mallet if you've been beaten. A bit of mallet on mallet is needed, but a desperate full stretch hook just below the glove is bollocks.

They're all gone now, the final few are labelled in a cupboard at Herne hill apparently?
Wouldn't mind payment from the last couple of people if it ain't too much trouble ;)

I ain't got a box yet
