So...this coming season, the following will be hot on the coaches' clipboards/back of hands....

4 PASS RULE (4 passes must be completed before any try is awarded - aimed at defeating the immediate pass to the team speed merchants)
6 TAG TURNOVER RULE (the ball will be turned over after 6 straight tags)
DOUBLE TAGS RULE (oh yes they do..I mean, just double tag the opposition, it's easier that way)
YELLOW CARD/RED CARD (Y = a few minutes time out off the pitch in the yellow hoop. R = out of the game/training and busted for the following week)
RESPECT RAILS / CONES (parents...keep off the touchlines and the pitch and let the kids play. Also a clearly defined zone for substitutes, kit, magic sponges etc)
The above as outlined at recent parents' meeting with coaches. Other "stuff" was discussed too, as you can imagine.
And before you say owt...no, we don't play rugby league
