    The simple way to look at this is if the restart is a dropped ball then the player has to go off for a minute. Any other it requires...

    If I'm stopping play, then the injury surely warrants prompt attention. So you're going off mate, either with the physio or getting...

    There are five in stadium officials at each game, the ‘extra’ one being the Reserve AR, which makes complete sense given how long it’s...

    Russell Jones replied to the thread ARG vs ALG.
